If you drove past Taix on Sunset Blvd. then you also drove past the Lemoyne Lanai which is about 2 blocks away. It will be great to have you there. Floratina - "Shakalolo" might find its way into the set list if I can just remember how it goes...

The room was pretty full, but was invited to share a table in the back. My favorite was the Friki Tikis doing the theme song from Hawaiian Eye!

Joined: Sep 22, 2002 Posts: 234	KK King Kukulele Posted posted on Sat, Jul 31, 2004 3:37 PM Thanks Bongofury, My favorite was "Braks Hawaiian Vacation" by Humu Humu! Yep thats right folks, Humu Humu stopped the show with her rousing rendition ot the Space Ghost classic. Everybody loved it and hopefully it will become a monthly tradition. The main event though was the Tiki Room Tribute by Miehana and I want to extend a very special thanks his crew for putting that together. Walt Disney would have dug it. Their live performance of the missing Offenbach music from the current show got the biggest applause of the night. Thanks also to Floratina for helping out too! See you on the 27th when uke legend Bill Tapia is scheduled to return.

It is not the policy of the management of Tiki Taix to take at face value the public statements of the management of Disneyland. On August 26th, 2000 the fabulous Kahiki restaurant in Columbus, Ohio "temporarily" closed its doors. "In two years we will be opening the brand new Kahiki in downtown Columbus right on the water!" Last night we payed tribute to the greatest show in Disneyland. It was the biggest Enchanted Tiki Room tribute in the world...I think. It was a great party and show, just in case. Just in case the Tiki Room follows the demise of the Kahiki, but I don't think it will. See you at the 42nd anniversary of Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room.

He said he was gonna post an announcement today, but I haven't seen anything yet. So for now I would assume it's pretty much "same time, same place" as usual.
