They went "HUH?!!!" No special NW Tiki Crawl rates confirmed yet. Made the reservations anyway. It's a cool place and better safe than sorry.

The Jupiter WILL be our official hotel again this year, and special rates WILL be extended. The only delay is that Al, the manager, is out of the office and won't be back for a week. Make sure you tell them that you're with the crawl, and that it's o.k. that they don't know anything about it because Al will tell them everything when he gets back. I highly recommend the Jupiter as we will likely be using it as a central meeting point for all crawl activities this year. Stay where the action is!

Then if I can steal a car... Friday, DJ Del Villareal and I will hopefully be holding our 2nd annual BBQ and Tiki Party at the pool. Last year I had 5 blenders going with 2 backups... hahaha http://www.chicagorockabilly.com/2005/INDY/Pool%20Friday/Pool1.html pardon the horrid pix of me, it was like 95 degrees, humid, and I was workin my tushie off with the blenders. http://www.chicagorockabilly.com/2005/INDY/Pool%20Friday/Pool%202/Pool2.html The best part of the party was getting tossed in the pool at the end! it felt good!

We're also working on getting more vendors, having them display longer, and setting it up so you can actually see what they're selling. All in all, expect a new approach to the NW Crawl, with more emphasis on social activities. More to come!

I would like to be a vendor this year! I bought a little table-top battery operated lantern just for that!
T TikiMaxton Member Portland, OR Joined: Mar 25, 2002 Posts: 559	T TikiMaxton Posted posted on Mon, Feb 13, 2006 4:49 PM We're all set up with the Jupiter Hotel again. You can go to directly to our custom booking page at http://tinyurl.com/d7ag9 to get the NW Tiki Crawl preferred rate. If you've already booked at the Jupiter, just give them a buzz and let them know you're coming up for the Crawl and they'll fix you right up. The Jupiter has had a tremendous year, and jacked up their rates considerably, but our Crawl preferred rate is only $5 per room higher than last year, and still a great deal. The Jupiter is where it's at this year, with a lot of our core activities centered or starting there. It's where the bus will pick up, and where a lot of the action will be taking place for this year's event. If you're looking for a place to stay for the crawl, you can't get any closer than the Jupiter, official hotel of NW Tiki Crawl '06! [ Edited by: TikiMaxton 2006-02-13 16:53 ]

DL Dancin' Lizard Member Manchester, WA Joined: Jan 27, 2005 Posts: 144	DL Dancin' Lizard Posted posted on Fri, Mar 10, 2006 3:09 PM Any more information on the crawl? Itchy to know.
T TikiMaxton Member Portland, OR Joined: Mar 25, 2002 Posts: 559	T TikiMaxton Posted posted on Fri, Mar 10, 2006 3:39 PM Sorry to have been silent for so long - we're furiously planning and forgot to come of for air! Here's what I can tell you so far: First, We're officially changing the name of the NW Tiki Crawl to NW Tiki Kon. The reason for this is that this year's event is going to be so much more than a crawl. Much of our activities, including vendors and entertainment, will be take place at the Jupiter Hotel, with various crawls and excursions branching out from that central location. So the Jupiter's where you want to be! Second, you can expect website updates and more specific announcements within the next couple of weeks. Keep checking http://www.nwtiki.com for updates, and make sure you join the forums so you'll be among the first to know about any new information. We'll announce the launch of this year's site right here, as well. Finally, tickets will go on sale in April. Because we will have so much more to offer this year, the pricing structure will allow for maximum flexibility; you can go "a la carte" on many of the events, or whole hog and enjoy every second of everything. That's all I can say for now. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. TikiMaxton

Joined: Jan 04, 2003 Posts: 3772	JT Jungle Trader Posted posted on Sun, Mar 19, 2006 6:09 PM If there's a demand for some smaller size carved tikis by JTVic, I'll be sure to bring a few, with a heavy discount for fellow TC members. And a few Minnie's mugs as well, but can't give a discount on those, sorry. I have, in my possession, 26 new mugs with a green glaze. Coming out with 2 more colors also. Look for more info soon in my "Creating Tiki" thread. I'll probably do a little jungle trading as well. ZAZZ! Can't wait for this event. Looking forward to meeting and talkin' story with the northern ohana.
T TikiMaxton Member Portland, OR Joined: Mar 25, 2002 Posts: 559	T TikiMaxton Posted posted on Mon, Mar 20, 2006 9:29 AM Jungle Trader, you should get in touch with Mark Pederson, our Vendor Relations coordinator - he can help you get set up with space to display your wares. Anybody else who's interested should contact him as well - [email protected]. This year we're going to make sure that the general public has access to our vendors, not just Tiki Kon attendees. We'll be doing outreach to get more customers for our vendors, so sales should be much better this year than last!

T TikiMaxton Member Portland, OR Joined: Mar 25, 2002 Posts: 559	T TikiMaxton Posted posted on Wed, Apr 26, 2006 5:11 PM The hold up has been in figuring out the pricing. We're offering so much more this year that it's hard to figure out how to cram it all into a ticket structure that makes sense. We're having an emergency meeting tonight to hammer out all the details so we can get these tix on sale in the next few days. Hang in there, it will be worth the wait!
