Thanks to Basic Hip, we have a large selection of Billy Mure tracks to download. Also info on Johnny Knox. Johnny grew up here in Knoxville and started playing in clubs I used to hang out at. I never met him. Then he moved to Atlanta and Kiliki became friends with him and he played at Hukilau 2001. He has played at Trader Vics in a Don Ho tribute band called "Don HOrowitz" and is a tiki fan. He is returning to Hukilau 2004 to get things going on Thursday night at the water side Meet and Greet at the Bahia Cabana.

Tongo-hiti has said they'll make a guest appearance! Also, a great band from Atlanta that plays every Thursday at Trader Vic's and is my house band for Tiki Torch Nights!

We'll post the address for the cam before the event, and try to stream it as fast as possible. You poor souls who are stuck at home will be able to see the vendor area and performances there, and the Friday night mayhem. I am not sure if it's possible to do sound. We'll see just how big and how fast we can get the cam to go!

( some surf would be nice too) Could you point me to the thread regarding vendor's fee and the like? BK, I know you are the vendor organizer... And is there an update on how booked the rooms are? If I gotta stay off campus I guess it is better than not coming at all. Against my better wishes I am considering the drive down from WI in order to bring stuff... I'm leaning towards bringing many of my handcarved tiki lamps down... Thanks! [ Edited by: Lake Surfer on 2004-07-10 01:09 ] [ Edited by: Lake Surfer on 2004-07-10 01:11 ]

But I think there are still 20 rooms open. Email me about vending, [email protected]

All the details are HERE This is going to be an incredible event that will really set the weekend off! Hurry and book as seating is limited to 149 and we have 102 sold already! Here are the pictures of this incredible boat!

When we saw the boat initially and started negotiations we knew we had to have this for Hukilau! We hope that everyone will enjoy it. For those of you that will miss out on the boat cruise the Bahia Cabana will be having an amazing BBQ! See the site for details! And we'll all sail in at 9:00pm to meet you there.

With the entertainment, dinner, drinks & scenery, I may not want to get off it after the cruise! I'm counting the days...
T tikilee Grand Member (1 year) The Enchanted Mitten Joined: Sep 17, 2002 Posts: 122	T tikilee Posted posted on Tue, Jul 20, 2004 1:02 PM That boat is the shiznit. Way to go Swanky & Kilaki, its a heck of alot better than that 2nd option on the Hukilau board. The dinner menu looks mouthwatering also. A three hour tour huh.......don't suppose we'll get lucky and get stranded on that heavenly blessed deserted island of rum from the Pirates of the Caribbean movie do ya. A guy can dream can't he :D Till next time, keep the ice cold and the blender warm. [ Edited by: tikilee on 2004-07-20 13:08 ] [ Edited by: tikilee on 2004-07-20 13:10 ]
S Swanky Tiki Socialite Hapa Haole Hideaway, Knoxville, TN Joined: Apr 03, 2002 Posts: 5398	S Swanky Posted posted on Tue, Jul 20, 2004 3:14 PM Our "tour guide" on the water taxi told us that the only pirate ever executed in Florida was hung from a palm tree at the edge of what is now the Bahia Cabana. Right about where the water taxi pick up is there. Florida's pirate history is right ther at the Bahia Mar and the Bahia Cabana!
J JTD Member J'ville Joined: Apr 07, 2003 Posts: 408	J JTD Posted posted on Sun, Jul 25, 2004 11:16 AM Swanky, Last night, I finally went down to the Conch House in St Augustine and listened to Hukilau performers "BIG Pineapple". They were super. Very mellow, very polished, very good! They played a wide variety of their original tunes, traditional hapa haole exotica and tunes from other genres that had been arranged for uke, double bass & steel guitar. My favorite (non-traditional) had to be their version of Danny Boy. Sounded very wistful, kinda like Sleepwalk, not weepy and sad. I spoke to Gary, Randy and Rocky between sets and they are eagerly looking forward to the Hukilau, like the rest of us I guess. I could listen to them all day. Great choice. -JTD Edited for type-lexia [ Edited by: jtd on 2004-07-25 14:53 ]

Bahai Mar, Dinner Cruise, Friday show all in order. Now I just have to call the Mai Kai during hours when they have someone who knows a little more about tickets to the shows. (I can't help humming the Hukilau song repeatedly at work.)

TSW The Sperm Whale Tiki Socialite Lakewood California Joined: Aug 23, 2004 Posts: 1553	TSW The Sperm Whale Posted posted on Mon, Aug 23, 2004 2:22 PM I was wondering if anybody would recommend renting a car or just getting there by Cab? I am planning on attending all of the events at "The Hukilau" including the Mai Kai. I just don't think I need to rent a car. If anybody know about Fort Lauderdale I would appreciate your wisdom!!! THANX
S Swanky Tiki Socialite Hapa Haole Hideaway, Knoxville, TN Joined: Apr 03, 2002 Posts: 5398	S Swanky Posted posted on Mon, Aug 23, 2004 3:57 PM The cab from the airport to the hotel is about $13. For Hukilau, we will call cabs and everyone piles in and splits it, so, a total of maybe $12 gets split in two or more. The hotel and airport are close together and the hotel and the Mai Kai are close (5 minutes). If you aren't going anywhere else, I would not get a rental car. If you are going to the Mai Kai any other times while you are there, I bet you'll find others in the hotel ready to share a cab as well.

By then, I figure to have flushed the final vestiges of monkeyskull's Int'l Tiki Day voodoo punch from my system.
