Get in your outrigger and GO to this event. I have seen the Maikai Gents perform twice and they are a great group to see. I think that the Volcanics are performing after the Gents. I have not seen them but heard that they have a great surf sound.

I'd like to make sure I tape it since I probably won't be able to make it on Tuesday. I've decided to stay home with my family after the guilt-trip Bong put on me the other day...

Plus, I don't think taking the kids would be a good idea. A 3-year old and a 6-month old might be just a tad out of place! Damn, I feel like I'm missing out already! :(

It's gonna be a challenge for me to get there but I'm working at home for the month, so I just might make it if T wants to venture out on a school nite. When is the next local weekend gig, anyhoo?

WE NEED ANOTHER LOCAL EVENT! Jeez, it's been 4 weeks since our last drunken luau. I'll try to think of something, but if anyone else has any ideas (that don't involve castor oil or sulpher) speak up in the name of KU!
IG Iuka Grogg Member Beside the sea under a coconut tree Joined: Oct 12, 2002 Posts: 176	IG Iuka Grogg Posted posted on Thu, Feb 13, 2003 10:13 AM Polynesian Pop - Bring the kids, it's a wonder how far a couple fake ID's and false beards will get you! Come on, we're having a luau, everbody will be there, all your friends you will see there. Stentiki - We sure hope you and Tiki-T can make it out. We'll toast to her new gig! As far as weekend happenings, we've got some retirement home shows coming up you could crash, but keep in mind May 9,10,11. That'll be a doozy of a weekend! Tiki_Bong - Speaking of speaking up about another fun event, it seems a certain "big brother" around here has been hinting quite a bit about bowling at the Mar Vista Lanes. Sounds fun to me, how 'bout it? Tiki Central - Have a fabulous day, filled with the spirit of aloha! -Iuka Grogg

S suicide_sam Member LBC Joined: Mar 26, 2002 Posts: 670	S suicide_sam Posted posted on Tue, Feb 18, 2003 11:19 AM I'm just wondering which cameras will be shooting there tonight. If it's Fox Undercover cameras is it mandatory that we all act ignint? You know like, "Man the Tiki culture is all about smoking weed, drinking forties, and busting caps on suckas!!!".

P PolynesianPop Tiki Socialite Corona, Ca Joined: Mar 25, 2002 Posts: 2371	P PolynesianPop Posted posted on Wed, Feb 19, 2003 9:42 AM So how did it go? Any pics? Anybody plug TC to the camera?
S SugarCaddyDaddy Member Huntington Beach, California Joined: Jun 03, 2002 Posts: 1500	S SugarCaddyDaddy Posted posted on Wed, Feb 19, 2003 10:07 AM It was a fun evening seeing everyone, but WHERE WAS THE CAMERA? The only camera I saw going was Floratina's! I was going to take some digital pics, but because of the neighborhood, and the distance I had to park, I wasn't going to walk down (those streets) with a digital camera in hand. I'm spoiled here in Huntington Beach. SugarCaddyDaddy
S stentiki Member Huntington Beach Joined: Jun 24, 2002 Posts: 892	S stentiki Posted posted on Wed, Feb 19, 2003 10:21 AM We had a blast last night! T and I decided to venture into the night at the last minute and we were glad we did. The Mai Kai Gents were superb and Iuka Grogg's voice is as smooth as Demerera Rum. Miss Mauna Loa was hypnotic and the band didn't miss a tribal beat! It was great seeing everyone again. We shared drinks with the very suave Suicide Sam for the first time and TC was representin' with the likes of Sven, Floratina, King Kuku, Sugar Caddy Daddy, Johnny (can I get a drink?) Velour and others that I did not get a chance to chat with. Chiki's carvings were awesome and his giveaways were these really cool Marquesan style plaques that I unfortunately did not win (and that Diablo Tiki was pretty cool too!). Anyhoo, I did not take any pix but I'm sure someone did. Floratina was armed with the video cam so maybe she will share some stills with us. Much fun and much Tiki love. Can you feel the love?
IG Iuka Grogg Member Beside the sea under a coconut tree Joined: Oct 12, 2002 Posts: 176	IG Iuka Grogg Posted posted on Wed, Feb 19, 2003 11:20 AM WOW! What a night! You guys packed that place and gave us such cheer! THANK YOU!! Chikitiki's art was a big hit and the door prizes were fantastic! What more can I say, I'm just blown away by the great turnout and overall fun vibe. Let's please do it again soon! Pictures anyone? WOW! -Iuka Grogg p.s. The TV guys were there, but because they didn't have clearance to tape the club interior or the audience (Lava Lounge policy), they stayed right up front with a hand-held camera.
