Anyone know if there are any "Midwestern" area "Tiki Events" coming up?

Does anyone know if there are any "Tiki Events" in the midwesten area of the United States coming up this year? If so, please post.

This Saturday is the grand-reopening celebration of the Aku Tiki Room in Kewanee, IL.

Windy City Islanders are playing at 7:00.

I meant to post about that elsewhere, so thanks for reminding me!

See THAT post (in a few minutes) for details.

Well, it's not 100% tiki, but I've recently starting doing a lounge/exotica dj night in the middle of Illinois. It's called The Atomic Age Cocktail Party and I've got two lined-up in the near future...Sun Jan 29th and Thurs Feb 9th.

Keep Swinging!

DvA Gallery is having its 2nd Anniversary Tiki Show and Party on Saturday, June 17th from 6-11pm. Should be a blast. Last year was packed. Cocktail Preachers will be playing again. http://www.dvagallery.com

Awesome everyone, keep the posts coming! (On a side note DaTiki, I saw the Cocktail Preachers a few weeks ago, they rock!)

rodeotiki, that looks awesome, is that in Columbus, Ohio?

tikibars, I would like to be able to get to that one, but it's far from me, are they having any special promos going on for the re-opening? Will any specialty items be available that you know of?

javabachelor, I can't get that link to work, but I will check later (maybe the server is down).

This is their main site: http://www.cowboy-monkey.com

Here's the blurb for the event:

Sunday, January 29
THE ATOMIC AGE COCKTAIL PARTY
Time: 8:00 pm
Cover: FREE
Details: DJ - Cocktail/Lounge
Hosted by Jason Croft of WEFT's "The Bachelor Pad" and http://www.javasbachelorpad.com "Swank tunes for your jetset life!" Grab your martini shaker, put on that smoking jacket, and get ready to swing, baby! It's lounge, cocktail, exotica, private-eye jazz, and a hint of retro-swing from the likes of Esquivel, Henry Mancini, Don Tiki, Les Baxter, Julie London, Louis Prima and many others. A perfect way to start your weekend. Ring-A-Ding Ding!
