Don't mess with Tiki Taix! Who knew there was a place in this crazy world for tiki cabaret? In particular, the live satellite feed to the Purple Orchid was a hoot -- I'd love to see that again when I can hear it better. I'm bummed I'm going to miss next month's Tiki Taix; I'll be in Orlando. Especially if the Smokin' Menehunes do end up on the bill.
Mahalos to all especially for making my out-of-town guests feel so at home. They had a great time! (I suppose that was pretty obvious... ahem. Hanging out with those girls is like living in a Trader Vic's menu cover. I miss them already.)
Here's a selection of pics:
My girlfriends, Erin & Monica
TraderPup, in an especially snazzy (zazzy?) suit.
Polynesian Pop -- that looks like a Heineken shirt, but it says "Hawaiian"... close one, Pop!
SugarCaddyDaddy, looking coy
The kick_the_reverbs, with a side of Al
KailuaGeoff & Sven, and you can barely make out Dave (Wersmo Derinc) & Rebecca in the back
An appropriately off-kilter and adorable pic of Shell in the Pacific
MonkeyMan gives his best goofy smile...
...and Atomic Cocktail gives his
Alright folks, this is why I can't be trusted to take pictures at these events -- I always get terrible pics of the best parts! This is Sven overjoyed at his gift from TikiFille
The Mai Kai Gents get started, and you can see Sven's new tiki in the background
The Mysterious Miss Mauna Loa takes the stage
My friends Erin & Monica are joined by Futura Girl
I ran into this friend of a friend from Seattle (no tiki connection) at Tiki Taix! Go figure
Iuka Grogg makes the rounds -- either that or I stumbled up on stage and I don't remember it.
King Kukulele & Iuka Grogg go serenading
Crazy Al looking, well, crazy
And of course, there are even more pictures here.
