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

Mrs. Mojo has a High School Reunion, (I won't say how many years!). I would much rather be swaying to the cool Hawaiian sounds of the MK Gents but Nooooooooooooo! I got's to go as part my husbandly duties! 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

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?

Life is good! :drink: See ya there!

Have a great time and somebody drink a stinker for me! Cheers, Jen
D Dr.TikiMojo Tiki Socialite Elk Grove, CA Joined: May 26, 2006 Posts: 487	D Dr.TikiMojo Posted posted on Mon, Nov 13, 2006 1:25 AM Aloha Ohana! Well if you weren't there you missed a GREAT night at Trader Vic's San Francisco! :D The Mai Kai Gents played 3 SETS...that's 4 hours to you and me! :wink: Here are some photos and details of the evening along with some shots of the upgrades that Trader Vic's SF has been making to make the environment even MORE TIKI! Tiki are EVERYWHERE! Trader Vic's World Famous Chinese Oven,(no Chinese were harmed! :lol: ), and Duck Man the guy who de-bones your Duck for you! New decor and not so new decor! Ladies and Gentlemen, children of all ages please welcome THE MAI KAI GENTS!!! Iuka Grogg, (Can you tell which one of the 2 images is him?) Neither could I after enough Mai Tai's! :lol: 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". I had to support another doctor by trying it. YUM!...only problem is that if you take too long it becomes an island! DRINK FAST!!! When's the last show that you saw the singer go out into the crowd and serenade a lady? Don Ho would be proud! 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 people started DANCING IN THE ISLES!! :P Ending with a BANG the Gents ripped into a wild version of "PIPELINE" that left the members with bleeding fingers and the audience with happy hearts! The good Doctor Mojo over heard that the MAI KAI GENTS were asked to come back to Trader Vic's San Francisco 3 NIGHTS A WEEK UP UNTIL AND INCLUDING NEW YEARS EVE! To find out the exact nights and times you should call Trader Vic's SF and ask, "WHEN ARE THE MAI KAI GENTS PLAYING AGAIN? WE LOVE THE MAI KAI GENTS!" :D [ Edited by: Dr.TikiMojo 2006-11-13 01:30 ]

Thanks so much for the great photos, Dr. It was great to have you and the Tiki Central gang there! What a night! Beautiful venue, enthusiastic and fun crowd, tons of tropical tippling tonics, bountiful birthdays (I recall singing that song six times!)... Thanks so much to you, Tiki Central ohana, for you support. It seems as if we will be playing there with some regularity in the future and I'll keep you posted. Mahalo. -Weird Unc

Great to see that you got a regular gig...if the stars align properly, we might be able to enjoy it someday, too. Ran

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!
