Susan and I are participating in the production of the biggest damn luau either of us have ever helped plan and/or produce for a friend's birthday on the 29th. Sadly, it occurs to the North of us while Atlanta happens to be to our South. Hmmmmmmmmmmm... Maybe, though, if I drive really, really fast...? If we don't get to see you guys we'll make sure we Toast along with the entire expatriate cadre (and pump out plenty good mana to Hotlana).

I would definitely like to see you guys more than once a year. It really sounds like a fun event!! Hey Wholly Cat, I'll be sure to bring those slyders down if I make it! They would probably kick me off the plane because of the smell though. Damn onions! Cheers and Mahalo, Jeff

I've yet to meet a Centralite who wasn't into the idea of hoisting a few Zombies with a new member of the tribe.

We are really looking forward to this event. Working on our Tailgate Set Up and Menu. Weird Question? Is is the Drive In Paved? If it is, I have to make stands for our torches.

Is everyone staying at the Hilton? This is our first Tiki event. We are old veterans of the RAB weekender stuff, Viva Las Vegas, Heavy Rebel, Blood, Sweat and Gears and so on, so I am curious as to the whole thing.
T Tikigoob Tiki Socialite Florida Joined: Mar 06, 2005 Posts: 154	T Tikigoob Posted posted on Mon, Apr 10, 2006 1:49 PM The Hilton is the best place to stay for Trader Vic's 30th. I've stayed there a few times, and love that I can zoom up the elevator to my room when I've reached my Mai Tai limit!!!
T tiki_kiliki Member Birmingham, AL Joined: Apr 01, 2002 Posts: 1046	T tiki_kiliki Posted posted on Mon, Apr 10, 2006 2:31 PM The Hilton is where everyone will stay and should stay - the $89 rate given for the event is unheard of and I was very happy that they were so gracious! After the Drive In you should most definitely try to make it over to the Star Bar for Rocket 350, they should be hitting the stage around midnight! And if you're in town on Wednesday the 26th head to the Earl for the Buck Owens tribute - Sonoramic Commando is playing and they are fantastic! See you in just 2 1/2 wks!

DON'T MISS IT! For those of you still in the dark... (copied and pasted from our MySpace page): " Trader Vic's in Atlanta is one of the most spectacular authentic vintage Tiki restaurants in the USA. It was the last of the original 1940s-1970s era Trader Vic's to be built in the USA, and it is one of the very best. We are celebrating it's 30th anniversary on April 28 and 29, 2006. The Friday, April 28 festivities will be held at Atlanta's Starlight Drive in and will include a Tikirific double feature (Island of the Lost Women and Beach Party), a performance by Atlanta Rockabilly legends Johnny Knox and Hi-Test, Master of Ceremonies King Kukulele from Los Angeles, and much more. Deck your vehicle out like a roving Tiki bar and win a prize for best in show. Also visit Knox's "Trailer Vic's", a mobile Tiki bar in a trailer! Bring your ukulele for a singalong, and don't forget to bring the marshmallows to roast with your picnic dinner. Visit Trader Vic's afterwards for late night cocktails and a warm up for Saturday's big birthday bash! On Saturday April 29, we move to Trader Vic's at the Altanta Hilton, for the main event. Chicago's astounding Cocktail Preachers are making the trek south entertain you with their custom surf-exotica sounds, and Florida's own amazing Haole Kats will be there to play their swingin' hapa haole (Hawaiian) tunes. King Kukulele will continue to entertain. We'll also have hula dancers from Hula Halau Kapilialoha with special guest, Richard Klaunan, plus a Tiki art show and auction, and much, much more. Mai Tais are only $4.50. Dinner reservations will be nescessary if you want to eat, so make your reservation NOW. If you don't want dinner, just show up for the show any time you like! Cover charge is $10 per night, payable at the door. Admission on Saturday is free if you have dinner at Trader Vic's, Call NOW to make your dinner reservation, it will DEFINITELY fill up. Out of town guests may take advantage of a special $89 room rate at the Atlanta Hilton (the hotel that Trader Vic's is in) all weekend. Call the hotel and use code "PR" to get the rate. (404) 659-2000. This event is being produced by Tikikiliki Productions who are responsible for the legenday Tiki Torch Nights events at Trader Vic's in Atlanta, and at the Mai Kai restaurant in Florida, as well as the big kahuna of all Tiki events, the Hukilau. Also involved in event coordination is Tiki Road Trip productions, aka James Teitelbaum - author of the books Tiki Road Trip and Big Stone Head, producer of Tabu Tiki Nights at the Chicago Trader Vic's, and entertainment director of Hukilau 2005 and 2006.

That Atlanta Hilton is one heck of a spot to settle in for a weekend of Tiki Madness. Those exterior elevetors were great...a little chilly but bearable with the Mai Tai's. Met a lot of great folks and look forward to doing it again. Oh,...and I'm still waiting for the Martin Denny CD..Ha:) Hang Loose! Swamp.
K Kanekila Member Safety Harbor, FL Joined: Aug 07, 2004 Posts: 185	K Kanekila Posted posted on Tue, May 2, 2006 6:38 AM A big MAHALO NUI LOA to everyone at TV's, and to all the folks that came out for the festivities. I do believe a great time was had by all. Many special thank yous out to James T., Tiki Kiliki for arranging everything, and of course, to King Kukulele once again for making me laugh until Mai Tai came through my ihu. We tried to have King Kukulele call Pablus and his wahine at the London Trader Vic's about 8:30 Atlanta time, but that meant it was at least 1:30, and more probably 2:30 London time, and it went to his voicemail. We wante to have Pablus address the entire group over the mic via cellphone in some sort of primitive form of simulcast, but alas, it was not to be. Many thanks to all the nice folks who came up to our party In The Roooooooooom 2524..., especially all you Cocktail Preachers. You cats sounded great, and are a heckuva bunch of nice cats, too. Sure wish that sound man would have eschewed that stupid fog machine, though. I was coughing my head off the whole next day. Also shouts out to our new friends Joe and Nicole from Manhattan, and Lisa and Martha from Nashville. Y'all were a lot of fun to hang out with!

Christie and Denny just after we arrived at the Starlight Six. Christie, James, and Lisa. Cocktail Preachers giving a sermon. Dave (Basement Kahuna) and Liz (I Dream of Tiki) In The Room 2524. King Kukulele, Derek Yaniger and Kim. Haole Kats on the stage during soundcheck. Proof that these events make the coordinators crazy. Johnny Knox and Hi Test at the Starlight Six. Kim, Dave, Liz, Derek, and Denny. Christie and our pals from Washington DC. Winners of the best-in-show award for mobile Tiki bars. In the Room 2524, it's a recipe for chaos: 3/4 of the Cocktail Preachers, 2/3 of the Haole Kats, and King Kukulele, 1/2 out of his mind! In the Room 2524, pals from New York and Nashville. In the Room 2524, the house is a-rockin'... until security comes knockin'! Shhhhhhhhh! Florida, DC, and Tennesee, all representing In The Room 2524. I counted 27 people In The Room 2524. Somehow it didn't feel crowded, and somehow, the Cruzan didn't even run out. We were blessed with good times, good booze, and good people. If you got some of the free Bettie Page movie swag, or Roger Corman t-shirts that King Kukulele was passing out at the Drive-In, thank the gal on the right in this pic - Shelley - who works for the movie promotion firm. She also gave me some good tips on bars to hit in NYC (McSorley's anyopne?), amd mixes up a mean Dark N' Stormy (rum, ginger beer, and lime). Burlesque queens Susi and Eva.
