Hey JenTiki, great idea! The band will certainly join you and the other TC Ohana when we're on break. If it seems there'll be a big group, be sure to make a reservation. Looking forward to seeing some happy tipplers on Saturday. Free song requests for all Tiki Centralites! -Weird Unc |

A sad day indeed! :cry: It looks as though the Mojo Clan....Mrs. Mojo & the good Dr.TikiMojo will not likely make it! At least the Reunion is at a Brewery! I'll raise a cold, frosty one and try to imagine it were a yummy Rum Drink and I was listening to the Gents....hey I got it....I'll bring a copy of the "Wiki Wiki Grog Shop" with me and slip it into the DJ's music selections! :D |

Coco Loco and I are going to be there. And we will be bringing a special guest star, Mr. Smiley!!! :) :) :) He'll be in town for a couple of days. I shamefully haven't been to Trader Vic's in San Francisco for quite a while now, so this should be great - especially with the Mai Kai Gents performing!!! It should be a fab night! Hey Lars, have some Stinkers lined up!!! :D Anyone from the Exotic Island of Alameda (or the East Bay in general) want to caravan over together? |

Man, I knew if I just kept worshiping ALL of my Tiki's that I would eventually find the one to get me outa things I really don't wanna do! :D :tiki: Turns out that we just found out the Mrs.Mojo's High School Reunion at a brewery was supposed to cost us $45 bucks EACH....and doesn't include ANYTHING...so we're gonna bail on the Saturday Reunion and go to the Sunday Picknick...so sad :cry: ...NOT!! :lol: So it looks as if the Mojo's will be at Trader Vic's meeting up with the TC clan for Dinner then the WONDERFUL MAI KAI GENTS!! Life is good! :drink: See ya there! |

I'm going, but I'm not sure what I'm doing before or after, so I can't commit to a caravan. But I'll see you guys there! This should be a blast! Cheers! Edited to add: Sorry, not gonna make it. See my 11/11, 11:57am post. [ Edited by: JenTiki 2006-11-11 11:59 ] |

Hey Gang, I hate to do this, but I'm gonna have to bail on tonight. :cry: That cold that's been going around the FI TC crowd just isn't giving up on me, so I need to spend some quality time with my blanket and Nyquil. Have a great time and somebody drink a stinker for me! Cheers, |

Aloha Ohana! Tiki are EVERYWHERE! Trader Vic's World Famous Chinese Oven,(no Chinese were harmed! :lol: ), and Duck Man New decor and not so new decor! Ladies and Gentlemen, children of all ages please welcome THE MAI KAI GENTS!!! Some of the local TC Ohana showed up and took over a table up front to show their support! :drink: Dr.TikiMojo found a drink he hadn't tried yet..."SON OF DR. FUNK". When's the last show that you saw the singer go out into the crowd and serenade a lady? Flaming Scorpion Bowls gave the band all the energy they needed! "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" was sung at least 3 times, (I lost count), and the Gents got things so fired up Ending with a BANG the Gents ripped into a wild version of "PIPELINE" that The good Doctor Mojo over heard that the MAI KAI GENTS were asked to come back to [ Edited by: Dr.TikiMojo 2006-11-13 01:30 ] |

Such a wonderful time! Thank goodness it was a nice, ear-friendly band like the Maikai Gents performing Happy Birthday -- it got pretty ridiculous! Don't miss seeing the Maikai Gents featured on TV! Check out this thread in Tiki Music for more details -- the show is airing tonight in the Bay Area, and will also be airing in other cities like San Diego, Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Dallas, Washington DC, Miami, Philadelphia and Hartford, CT. Here are my pictures: http://photo.humuhumu.com/v/maikaitvsf/ :down: I could only see Judd & this tiki from where I was sitting: :down: Judd serenades the crowd: :down: Duck and cover [song]: :down: Mr. Smiley: :down: Coco Loco & Mai Tai: :down: Coco Loco: :down: Conga Mike & Mr. Smiley: :down: Mrs. Tiki Mojo & cynfulcynner: :down: cynfulcynner, and a good shot of the odd "we went to Cost Plus and stocked up on laundry hampers and wastebaskets and hung them from the ceiling with fishing line" additions to the decor (which while silly, are still a big improvement): :down: Dr. Tiki Mojo & Hanford: :down: Coco Loco & me: Congratulations on such a fun event, and a great gig -- I look forward to more! |
