Be there from 7pm on and enjoy the bartending skills of Emeryville's Roberto! ZAZZ!! What is an Emeryville Even Thursday? The Emeryville Even Thursdays concept is EASY. If the date of any Thursday is an EVEN number, feel free to head to Emeryville Vics! For example, take March 2, 2006. BECAUSE "2" is an even number , it is an Emeryville Even Thursday! !!!!!UPDATE; SEE PAGE 4!!!!!!! Mr. Smiley is the most thirstiesterest of all! If you like it,it is ZAZZ! If you don't, give it a RAZZ. [ Edited by: mrsmiley 2006-05-01 09:33 ] [ Edited by: mrsmiley 2006-05-05 15:11 ]

Does this make our SF Vic's Mondays "odd", though?! We can make them as odd as anybody wants! Do you still have your DEVO costume?!? :lol:

Heck, I might even go on odd Thursdays too because I'm an oddball. I'm still in for Mondays in SF when I can (the last 2 have been impossible for me). Last night Roberto and some of the other staff at Emeryville were asking me and mrsmiley "where have you been lately?". I was too embarrassed to admit that I've been at SF Vic's almost every week and have not been to Emeryville for about 3 months. It's all Martiki's fault! :wink:

I would have come to Emeryville last night- we were in the east bay! drat. Shoot! It was a spur-of-the-moment idea on my part. We went to Art's Crab Shack (old 1950s joint in Oakland) afterwards. What an experience! Good crab, but not as good as the crab at Scoma's, Buckeye, or Dead Fish. Great fried zucchini. Strong drinks. Crappy service. Too expensive. Classic decor but tacky add-ons (tons of Christmas cards attached to the wall) and bright lights detracted from the atmosphere. Glad I went finally, but I don't recommend it. We went to the Kona Club for delicious Pegu Club cocktails after. They'll make anything you want with fresh lime and lemon if they have the ingredients. Their rum selection has improved (Demarara, Orinoco). They have tiki mugs and beer taps coming in soon. New jukebox arrived but not working yet. Always a friendly crowd and staff. C'mon TC ohana, show the love for Ben and Al's awesome creation! (at least until Forbidden Island opens) :wink:

T tikivixen Tiki Socialite Vallejo CA Joined: Aug 28, 2002 Posts: 726	T tikivixen Posted posted on Wed, Feb 15, 2006 11:49 PM I read up on the booksigning again and am too interested to skip it...and since it's a bit of a drive for us to do two days in a row, I think we're gonna go for that instead of Thursday--after all, it is just one day later! Hope lots of folks can make it! :)

If you're up to it, stop by after Vics. It'll be good to see ya'll again (and catch up about LA)
T tikivixen Tiki Socialite Vallejo CA Joined: Aug 28, 2002 Posts: 726	T tikivixen Posted posted on Wed, Mar 1, 2006 8:05 PM Sounds good, we'll definitely do that! :wink:
MT Mai Tai Tiki Socialite Exotic Isle of Alameda Joined: Mar 21, 2004 Posts: 1438	MT Mai Tai Posted posted on Fri, Mar 3, 2006 10:46 AM Hey! No one was there! RAZZ!!! I didn't get there until 9:30pm or so (late night at work). And might I add - that place closes up early!!! It was like ghost-townsville, man. I did straggle over to the Conga, though, and met up with Mr. Smiley there, who also was coming in late from a previous engagement, and we talked story with Mike and Mano for a while over a scorpion bowl.
T Tiki-bot Member Joined: Jun 24, 2002 Posts: 1345	T Tiki-bot Posted posted on Fri, Mar 3, 2006 12:34 PM I was at Vic's from about 730 to 8 while waiting to make an airport pickup. Thought I'd see someone there, but no.
T tikivixen Tiki Socialite Vallejo CA Joined: Aug 28, 2002 Posts: 726	T tikivixen Posted posted on Fri, Mar 3, 2006 3:58 PM Well, when nobody had posted by 5 o'clock I just decided to take Mike up on his post and go straight to the Conga. So we hung out with Mike and Mano and Paulie and had a blast! I'm so sorry we missed you guys! We left to take Paul home around 9 o'clock--talk about a close one! wah. It's just such a long drive for us to make if we're not sure anyone else is even gonna show up. We knew we had pals at the Conga, and plus, I figured a lot of y'all would've gone to the Lost Weekend for Jab's gig. We did get to watch Jim showing Paul a fascinating assortment of Vic's recipes and mixing tips, though--cool! Jim made me one of the best Cosmos ever! :D I'm still totally up for the next even Thursday and hope to see you all there--mew!

Always good to see you, tikivixen (and Bill). Funny thing...within 5 minutes of you leaving, two other TCers showed up and we hung out till closing.

M mrsmiley Tiki Socialite Las Vegas, NV Joined: Apr 03, 2002 Posts: 3197	M mrsmiley Posted posted on Tue, Mar 14, 2006 10:39 AM Emeryville Vic's closes up anytime after 9:30 on a weeknight. So there IS a POSSIBILITY that it is still open, but I wouldn't risk that long drive to find out we have gone. We often go to the COnga or Kona afterwards, though, so get the cell #'s of people who are going and call them when you leave work and see where they are headed.

I was gonna try to make it tonight (yeah, I'm thirsty too), but think I will bow out because of this damnable rain. Not so bad getting there, but it's the getting back home after a few drinks! I will mix up a couple at home and sip them in your honor. Marking my calendar for March 30th! Have fun!

MT Mai Tai Tiki Socialite Exotic Isle of Alameda Joined: Mar 21, 2004 Posts: 1438	MT Mai Tai Posted posted on Thu, Mar 16, 2006 5:10 PM My spidey sense is telling me that probably no one is going to make it to Trader Vic's tonight. I think I'll catch up with everyone later as well - Kona or Conga? I vote Conga Lounge! "It's Mai Tai. It's out of this world." - Victor Jules Bergeron Jr. [ Edited by: Mai Tai 2006-03-16 17:13 ]

MM Molokai Mike Member the birthplace of the Mai Tai Joined: Jun 26, 2003 Posts: 513	MM Molokai Mike Posted posted on Wed, Apr 5, 2006 4:04 PM We'll be putting in a full day at Forbidden Island, but will try to stop by on our way home - if not passed out by then due to all the paint fumes etc. Then again, it may add another dimention to the Mai Tai!!
MT Mai Tai Tiki Socialite Exotic Isle of Alameda Joined: Mar 21, 2004 Posts: 1438	MT Mai Tai Posted posted on Wed, Apr 5, 2006 5:04 PM Man, there are a lot of tiki events going on this week! Trader Vic's SF this past Monday, APE tonight at the Makeout Room, Trader Vic's Emeryville Even Thursday, "Trader Vic's Tiki Party" book signing at Trader Vic's SF this Friday, and the party at Tiki Hula's Kapili Room in Santa Clara this Saturday!!! I'm gonna be all worn out come next Monday for Vic's SF!!! I guess my point is, it seems like no one has gone to the Emeryville Even Thursdays for the past few times, basically since some time in Feb. Should we try to continue it, or should we let this event wither away?

Plus, I don't think of Even Thursdays OR SF Mondays as "events"...they're just comfortable options. Some weeks ya can, some weeks ya can't. No big deal. Or, like See's Candy: "a happy habit." :lol: (Which, by the way, is what I plan to make Forbidden Island...it would be AWESOME to see Martin and Mike--Denise too I hope?) purr, tikivixen

We are heading to Tiki Oasis first thing Friday morning, so we are staying in Oakland (park & fly) Thursday night. This can only mean dinner at TV then on to Forbidden Island for drinks afterward. Should arrive at Emeryville around 7:30-8:00pm. Anyone in? Myke
