New tiki bar opening an hour away? Fantastic. We'll be there. I hear it's got some "art" by some guy named after a flat fish. |

Hey Flounder, JTD, it'll be good to see you!!! I enjoyed our visit at Hale Tiki. Pablus, I await your expert review on their drinks....... I'm still waiting for an opening date, and will post it when I find out. |

I won't be able to make it for the opening, but I look forward to scheduling another trip to Orlando at some point! I can't wait to hear how this place turns out. I've created a record in Critiki, so you guys can add your critiki after you've seen it, if you'd like: Miss you, Bree! I had it all backwards -- the best bed is the one that's stumbling distance from Tiki-Ti, or the Mai Kai, or the Lagoon Room, or the Alibi, or the Kon Tiki, or...

Brelle, I'm just getting started on the art so it wasn't there yet. For now I am doing 3 Burlaps and a large 36x60 painting that will go over one of the booths. Joel told me that you came in, he's a very cool down to earth guy. He told me they were going to be opening in a month but you know how that goes. It's not going to be totally traditional tiki bar but I think it will be a pretty swinging place. Pablus, you need more flat fish in your diet. |

Bree, email me or Christie about some great entertainment options not far from you. We will be hearing the Haole Cats live at Tiki Torch Nights this month and they are in Tampa Bay area. And there are more. Flights to Orlando are usually the cheapest from everywhere... |

Glad to hear this place is actually going to open. We'll try our best to be there. It's been too long since the Florida ohana has been together and will be a good chance to catch up with everyone before the Hukilau. |

I was hoping to hear from you, KG!! I agree, it has been far too long since all of us partied together..although.....some of us did visit at Hale Tiki, and we missed you and Marian immensely! If Waitiki is up to our standard, it will be way cool to have a place here in O-Town where we can get together and celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, and whatever strikes our fancy. Swanky, |

August 14, International Tiki Day is the date for the Tiki Central party at Waitiki. We were planning a 7pm seating for dinner to start the festivities. Could everyone please RSVP with total # of attendees in their party so I can assemble an accurate head count to secure the seating for us all. Musicans, feel free to bring your instruments for an exotica jam session. Calling all Tiki Goddesses..........Since so many wahines wear lovely vintage outfits, it's time for you gals to strut your stuff in an informal fashion show at the party. Please contact me about this activity to discuss more details. More party particulars will unfold in the days ahead so keep viewing for updates |

Sounds fanastic. If Flounder is coming - I can't make it. But if he's not coming then we'll be there by ALL means. He's even more scary now than ever. I would say that Ona Koka and his wahine will be there. The Amber Love Goddess and myself. Several others with our party I'm sure - once I tell them about it. Can we hook up for drinks somewhere before the 7pm timeslot? Since Aug. 14th is a Saturday - we'd probably want to make a day of it. A stop by here: ...and then onward to Orlando. We should be rolling in about 2-3pm or even earlier if you come up with a good plan. I know nothing of Orlando except it's on the way to the Atlantic. Who's the band that night? |

I recommend the Polynesian Hotel at Disney as a nice precursor to Waitiki...........or........The Animal Kingdom Lodge (hotel). Both have splendid decor and good cocktails. I'll know more about the band as we get closer to the date. Could you provide a list of some of the tunes you'll be strumming on your uke?? |

Polynesian Hotel sounds great - what time do they open? I can see us hanging there for a couple hours and then running to Waiitiki. I'll link some songs and lyrics in the TIki Music section in a few days. A quick sampler would be Hukilau Song ...and of course, some Jimmy Booffay'. Well maybe not, but you get the drift.

Well - the Kona Cafe is open for lunch but only until 3pm. That would leave several hours of meandering time. Our wahines don't like meandering time because that's all usually spent on a barstool. BUT - the good news is that Jake Shimabukuro is playing the uke in Tampa the night before. We'll all head to The Lagoon after that concert and on Saturday rent a van for the trip to Orlando and Waitiki. We'll be there about 6:30pm. |

Alas, I won't be able to make it there on the 14th ... but funny enough, The Vodkanauts will be the entertainment at Waitiki on Friday, August 13th (as an instrumental four-piece) and on Saturday, September 4th (full band with vocals). I tried to book us on the 14th but alas, somebody had beat me to it, boo-hoo. Also, we're playing at the House of Blues, in the restaurant part, on Thursday, August 26th. It's free and we play from 11 'til close. Just tryin' to spread the tiki luv ... |

Hi All; I just spoke with Joelle, and it looks like we can make it up for the opening ... been working WAY too hard lately and a party is just what we need to bang our heads back into shape! Cheers! Stay on the beach. The natives over there are cannibals. [ Edited by: cybertiki on 2004-08-07 10:39 ] |

Alright - more ukes. I can see us all singing and swaying under a roof of starlight and palm fronds at 4am, then getting pepper sprayed by the OPD. We're bringing 6 total, btw. BTW, Hot Lava - you going to Jake S. on the 13th in Tampa? Anyone else? [ Edited by: pablus on 2004-08-10 08:43 ] |
