We would be there, since it is within walking distance. Unfortunately, we will be visiting family in Louisiana. Another time maybe.

I was wondering about this! Not sure if I can make it because I'm having my house painted this weekend but I'm gonna try. If I do, I'll probably just meet you guys for drinks. What time is going to happen? Will there be a post-Bali Hai gathering somewhere?

O
OnaTiki posted on 11/23/2004

We're looking at 6:30ish at the Bali Hai and if anyone wants we can have pre or post cocktails at our place.

We live in Clairemont just off the 5 freeway. PM us if you need our address.

Count Marianne and I in for this. Sorry for the late notice. We've been a little out of the loop on TC happenings lately as life has gotten unbelievably busy for us. Fortunately, we made time to take our first trip to Hawaii and just returned late last night. So, we've got some good stories to share (and will post here as well when time permits). We're also in for any pre or post events. Just let us know and we'll be there.

Well, this would have been the third year in a row for me, but I don't think it's gonna happen this year. :(

However, there is a verrrry outside chance that I might show up after all! What time are y'all meetin' at the Bali Hai?

OnaTiki posted on 11/25/2004

Last night was too much fun! We had a great group and the staff at the Bali Hai treated us wonderfully.

In attendance were Shipwreckjoey, Mustang Sally (Mrs. Wreck, Ha), Monkeyman and the family, Tonga King & Tonga Queen, Mr. & Mrs. Kick the Reverb, TikiBird, UtopianDream, Mean Gene, Weence & Weencette, Mr. & Mrs. Modmana, OnaTiki and Moki.

We gathered at our place for a few cocktails before heading to the Bali Hai. Really enjoyed having everybody over to see the progress so far. Can't wait to host the "finally finished" party. Kick the Reverb brought a new creation, yet to be named. It was quite tasty.

Thanks again Monkeyman for the gift. It was very cool. Thanks to TikiBird, UtopianDream, Tonga King & Queen for making the long trek down.

Here are a few pics.

Mrs. Modmana after an unfortunate incident of alcohol abuse. Moki also experienced the same fate only a short time later. Those mai tai glasses were very slippery.

We had a great time last night. Mahalo to all for showing up and sharing the aloha spirit that makes the Bali Hai what it is and why it's still around today. I like to think we keep the torches lit and in turn we bring home some good mana.

Tonga King posted on 11/28/2004

We had ssoooo much fun… Huge thanks to OnaTiki and Moki for extending their hospitality to everyone, including two people who you didn’t even know (us)..
The Bali Bai proved to be well worth the trip. Now we can start to put faces to names. Staying at Humphrys for the night was a great call.. We were a little slow getting going the next morning but we managed. Made our way to Ocean Beach to do a little Tiki Antiquing, Cindy found a little “Teach your self Hula” book from the 50’s that included instruction on the Huka Lau :) We also found a few mugs at the OB Surf shop, they have a few APE mugs, Hot Head mugs and Flame Man Chu Tiki Mug as well as suffering Bastard decanters. We also stopped by Trader Morts to see what we might turn up, we found a really nice bottle of Rum, and we also noticed that there is a Bosko mask hanging in the store… :)
We hope to see you all again soon…

TK & TQ

Sorry that I missed this one after such a fun time last year but I´m in Spain right now. I was in the Kahala in Barcelona on Thanksgiving day thinking of my family and my ohana on Tiki Central. No turkey, but I had plenty of ham.

Tiki Bird posted on 11/29/2004

Thanks Ona & Moki for setting up everything, as well as the pre-Bali Hai drinks at your pad. Man i cant wait till you have your tiki bar finished. Great to see such a turn out. Was able to try Ran's newest un-named drink creation, which was great! Had perfect table against the window to see the San Diegan night skyline as well.

Tbird.

Has this once venerable TC tradition gone by the wayside? 2005 would have been the 4th year in a row! I see there is a Tiki Bus Tour scheduled for Saturday, but what of Friday?

Matt Reese posted on 11/15/2005

I'll see what the family has planned, but I'm all for hanging out on that friday. Let's figure out some kind of schedule.

I can wait for New Years if need be.

OnaTiki posted on 11/16/2005

This is going to happen. The 4th annual!!

So far we have:
'Ona & Moki
Dr. Z
Tiki Bird & UtopianDreem
Matt Reese

We'll make the reservations at the Bali Hai once we get a head count. Chime in soon if you want to be included.

Personally, we won't be doing the bus ride, but feel free if there is one scheduled.

If you're coming to town for the weekend, we can host an impromptu get together at the 'OnaTiki lounge on Saturday.

Moki posted on 11/21/2005

I just made reservations for 12 people at 6:00pm. If this is not a good time, please let me know so I can change it.

Larry (one of the owners) was very happy to hear we were coming for dinner. He also said that he'd have our tickets for New Years available for us to pick up.

Al-ii, We'll miss you, who's going to lead the tour of the gardens??

Aloha,
