After the success of last year we have set a date for this years "London Luau" at the London Trader Vics! Thanks to Shag for the great artwork We bought the date forward this year to bring everybody into the summer season rather than end it. Many things are still yet to be confirmed, but we hope to have many things going on over the whole weekend for those travelling to it from further afeild. We are also looking for any artists (painters, carvers etc) to be involved in a group show starting the 9th, to run for 2 weeks, anyone interested let me know. The Artshow and Vending has been confirmed and will take place in Kingly Court just off of Carnaby Street in the heart of the West End. Vending will take place in Kingly Court on the sat and sun with live entertainment and DJs too. Hope to see some of you there [ Edited by: cheekytiki 2006-02-24 09:47 ] [ Edited by: Cheekytiki 2006-04-10 13:53 ] |

Ha ha - yeah, I actually might make this one! At the time of writing I've still got 24.5 days holiday left, so it's no problem. Last year, they all got accounted for super-fast, blowing many possibilities of fun out of the water. Hope you can make it - it'll be great to catch up!

Awesome weekend. It's got all the food groups covered, cultural exchange, [mighty] fine art, powerful mixes, dance and friends. The king is on the most played list on the itunes in the studio, and I've heard he's even better live, so really looking forward to that. Mr Shag [to me], has done a sweet job on the event art. It's great to see a full-on UK tiki event, thanks to Cheekytiki to all the hard work. I'll be getting my tickets today. |

Hmmmm, not too surprising as everything about me is corrupt! Well, payment sent via the old-fashioned Paypal way. A fantastic line-up & you've managed to bring it in at an excellent price, considering it's A)London, B)Park Lane, c) Trader Vic's. Trader Woody |

3 Days of drinking indeed! Friday night on Golden Coladas until 2:00am, wake up early afternoon, then out to watch England in the World Cup, drinking many pints of ale, then onto Trader Vics for Tiki bowls galore, wake up late, then onto Trailer Happiness to sample more rums. The only time I won't be drinking is in taxis and while asleep. My liver hurts already.... Trader Woody |

Man oh man! I am so psyched! I'm going to the London Luau! And I'm going to be a vendor! The last time I was in London I was strolling though Hyde park and just stumbled across the London Hilton and Trader Vic's. Nirvana! Except that when I tried to bring my British friends there for dinner that evening there was a freak power outage: elevators weren't running, half the hotel was dark and Trader Vic's was definitely down. Ouch! So I can't wait to get back and give it a go. And I can't wait to check out the other places, Trailer Happiness and London South Pacific. And that tropical London summer... See you there!

Many Mahalos to Anjy & Jamie for a wonderful weekend. I know how difficult these things can get but you guys truly should pat yourselves on the back. The entire weekend was filled with happy faces and many cocktails. It was so great to meet so many of the UK ohana! Matt from Southampton - we'll be calling you this week, Rachel & Sam - lookin' for your email, Trader Woody - shame I didn't get to spend enough time with you, Tiki Chris - nice to finally meet you and I got your PM just today when I made it to an internet cafe, I'll call you when I'm back in London later this week, DJ Hukilau - you're so lovely! AtomicTonyTiki - thanks for the laughs and it was great to share dinner with you & the wahine at Trader Vic's. And to the many that made the weekend special - Mahalo! My favorite moments: The Hula Punk show at South London Pacific, The King Kukulele set at Trader Vic's & the Donn's Mai Tai at Trailer Happiness. My absolute favorite moment: Sitting outside Trailer Happiness with King K and lots of others laughing and sharing stories - I'll never forget it! Pictures will have to wait until I'm back in Florida! |
