H Humuhumu Member San Francisco Joined: Aug 22, 2002 Posts: 3691	H Humuhumu Posted posted on Mon, Jun 5, 2006 5:57 PM Not if you don't mind hanging out with a bunch o' drunk people! There will likely be tasty non-alcoholic cocktails available at each spot (tiki bars generally have the best non-alcoholic drinks around), and if you're up for being a designated driver, you might find yourself revered like a god. I often alternate my drinkin' days with my non-drinkin' days at these events, to keep my stamina up. Looking forward to finally meeting you!

We're hitting more locations than ever before, with half of them being new destinations. Sign up for the Saturday Night Tiki Bus here. Thanks to everyone for being patient! ~Hanford

H Humuhumu Member San Francisco Joined: Aug 22, 2002 Posts: 3691	H Humuhumu Posted posted on Sat, Jun 10, 2006 11:22 AM Here's the planley, Stanleys -- Papua New Guinea Sculpture Garden As seen in this thread -- an incredible grove of hidden tikis, some reaching 30 feet in height! Palo Alto Trader Vic's For the first time, the San Francisco crawl is going to hit all three of the Bay Area Trader Vic's. This one is a stone's throw from the Sculpture Garden, and has a whole bunch of its own cool Papua New Guinea tikis. Smoke Tiki This is a new tiki bar right in downtown San Jose, with some great tiki details and even greater smokehouse food. Trad'r Sam's Trad'r Sam's has been around since the '30s, and still has its fantastic, massive bamboo encrusted horseshoe-shaped bar. A very unique opportunity to see what the pre-tiki world looked like! Tonga Room The jewel in San Francisco's tiki crown, the Tonga Room is stunningly beautiful, with an indoor lagoon complete with thunderstorms. Sneaky Tiki New, tiki hotspot in San Francisco -- sleek, sexy and modern. Bamboo Hut A fixture on the SF crawl, with drinks, dancing, and a massive tiki head right near the entrance. San Francisco Trader Vic's The second Trader Vic's on our tour, with towering tikis, masks, float lamps and massive outrigger canoe, to be enjoyed with some of the best drinks you can find in San Francisco. Emeryville Trader Vic's This visit completes the triumvirate of Bay Area Trader Vic's, and we've saved the best for last. Boasting some of the best tikis in addition to gorgeous bay views -- and of course, classic tiki drinks! Forbidden Island Okay, here's the one you're all excited for: the high point of this year's crawl is of course the hands-down best Tiki Bar in the Bay Area! We'll take over Forbidden Island before it opens during a private event, and we'll spend plenty of time soaking up its unbeatable ambience, music, decor, and the absolutely best tiki drinks you'll find on this tour, and perhaps anywhere! Forbidden Island is truly a Tiki Central bar, showcasing the efforts of many TCers, including: Bamboo Ben, Tiki Diablo, Kiegs, Basement Kahuna, Benzart, Kahaka, Hanford Lemoore, Monkeyman, Kick the Reverb, Jungle Trader, Iuka Grogg, and more, including owners/TCers Conga Mike and Tiki Crawl veteran Martin Cate. Conga Lounge Conga Mike and his brothers were responsible for bringing tiki back to Oakland, after a long drought. We'll pay a visit to this petite and charming tiki paradise. Kona Club The Kona Club is another great new destination that many are eager to see, thanks to the outstanding craftsmanship of Bamboo Ben. We'll end the night here -- fittingly, just a short ways away from Trader Vic's final resting place. Forbidden Island Because just one visit to Forbidden Island isn't enough, we'll return for the traditional Sunday morning Play-Doh throwdown at Forbidden Island's lush outdoor patio. As you can see, there are lots of return visits to old favorites, and also LOTS of brand new stops on the crawl. This is the first time the crawl has really covered the East Bay, San Francisco and the South Bay. It's a great way to see San Francisco. For all the details, visit the official website. Added bonus: If you fly into San Jose Airport, you can visit the in-airport tiki bar, Martini Monkey. It's in the public area (not behind security) in Terminal C. Who knows, maybe we'll try to swing by there on Thursday night when we're visiting Smoke Tiki. If you fly into San Francisco Airport, you can view the Polynesian Pop exhibit, which includes pieces on loan from many of our friends. It's also in a public area (not behind security), in the International terminal. Can't wait to see everybody!

Sorry, it was a programming mistake I made. Please go back and re-sign up. The website won't let you sign up twice so there's no harm in that. Mahalo!

Much better than Smoke Tiki in my opinion. [ Edited by: kingstontiki 2006-06-11 20:21 ]

BL Boo Loo Member Novato Grotto Joined: Apr 06, 2003 Posts: 6	BL Boo Loo Posted posted on Tue, Jul 11, 2006 6:13 PM Yes, it's official - my TC cherry has now been popped. I am making my first ever post on TC after many years of reading over my darling husband Martiki's shoulder. What could bring on such a shocking turn of events? Why, the Tiki Central Tiki Crawl VI, of course! For the first time in several years, I am not helping organize the crawl this time around which leaves me lots of time to sit back and look forward to being a participant! This year sounds absolutely fabulous, and I'm hoping a lot of folks are planning to make the trip! I see some of you have posted that you plan to attend, but I'm wondering who else is crawling with us? Can we start a roll call? I didn't make it to Oasis this year which means I am suffering major withdrawl - I haven't gotten to see so many of you, especially Southern California folks, in so long! Whose happy faces will I see next weekend?? Rebecca
