What's amazing is that the pics look almost identical to last years (some on tikifish.com under Tiki Crawl) and the year before! Also, Mig, I thought you said someone swiped those glasses? Or something happened with the glasses. Are they the same pair, or do you buy them by the boxful? |

I did! I have some great ones of Trader Vic's, although I didn't take my camera on the Crawl. I promise I'll get myself over to Shutterfly later...really... It was a most excellent beehive, with dress and makeup to match! |

I live here! You can see me as often as you like! :) I (and my cabana boy) will be at Tiki Oasis, though. At the risk of sounding elitist, we Bay Area types should make the effort to get together on a more casual basis. Like, every weekend. But without quite so much drinking, maybe. Maybe. |

Well, I guess I'm from the Way Outer Bay Area. I'm game. Just let me know when. Also all you ladies and especially Floratina, since the Mrs. talked to you a lot about a party here at our new house that we won't be moving into for about 9 months, I can't wait that long, besides I want to share my backyard at this house before we move with all of you (guys too), so how can WE talk her into having a party or two this summer? I need your help. She thinks our place is too small. We had a party here 2 summers ago with 40 people and it turned out well. Think of something. Maybe you girls could post a thread here and say that you think my backyard is the greatest and you'd like to see it. Then I could innocently say "Hey honey, look what the folks on TC are saying about our backyard" (You can see an image of part of it on my website). Early August would be good. Help me. I feel like I'm stuck in the mud. |

Tikimama and I are starting to plan a summer Party, June-ish. We should start to stock a Tiki-Year-In-Review 2003 with much SF area pics, no? -=C |

How about doing the Home Bar Crawl for International Tiki Day!!!? We could start somewhere with an official tiki torch lighting and then head out on the tikit trail! Maybe with little prizes at each stop-nothing fancy, just cheap little tiki-ish treasures, so each person picks up a tiki napkin, fake hibiscus, etc. at each home bar, and tries to complete the whole home bar tour! Just a crazy idea-I'm stalling-I don't want to go to work! Tikivixen-Epipen is preserved with.....sulfites! I had an RX for one, but the doctor said that only if it is really really life or death should I try it, because I'd be injecting more allergens. The epi may or may not override the allergy. Worked on the home tiki bar all weekend and missed the dang vintage fashion expo-the plan was to hit the Tonga after that and see what the heck I missed! :drink: Tacky Tiki Thanks for the complements on my Tiki attire for the crawl! |

The only problem with a home bar crawl in the Bay Area is the distance between home bars makes it a little tricky. I think it's better to keep it one home bar at a time, relax and enjoy yourself. That way, there's just more parties. But you're right about doing something for Int'l Tiki Day in SF. We'll have to decide as we get closer if we want to have it at a home bar, real bar, or a mini-crawl combo of the two. Or we need to have people spread out across the bay area at every venue with satellite hook-ups to report the action- LIVE! "This is Tacky-Tiki, reporting to you live from the Tonga Room where International Tiki Day Madness is spreading like wildfire. Live team coverage continues now- back to you in the Studio, aquarj." "Thanks, Tacky. We now go back to the field where our reporter cynfulcynner is at Trader Vic's. What's happening down there?" "RJ, there a palpable sense of excitem-" "cynfulcynner, I'm sorry to cut you off, but we have had an urgent update from TikiMama who's covering events at the Bamboo Hut. Mama, what's happening down there?" "RJ, we have unconfirmed reports that some Hoiti Toiti's have arrived and are freaking all of the women in the bar. Wait...no...I'm getting a clarification...there is only one of them...yes...I can confirm that Hula Hula is rubbing against my leg as we speak. I repeat, Hula Hula is...Ooh!" "OK...we've lost our reporter at the Babmoo Hut. Let's go out to..." -martin |

What ever happened to Floratina? I guess she didn't enjoy the crawl, as we haven't heard a word about it from her.... :tiki: |

Oh! I didn't mean to suggest we try to hit multiples at once, more like a series of summer events. TIKITHON2003 -- Where every weekend's a party! |

Looks like I might be moving soon, so I will most likely have one more bash at my place before May. |

BBTD, congrats on the bid decision and good luck. I did the same thing when I bought my house - moved back home with the folks for about 6 months to save $$$ for the down payment. Boy was that tough - living under their "rules" again. Had to see the light at the end of the tunnel and make the sacrifice. In the end it was all worth it! |

Since that is a mere stones' throw from Petaluma (in the same county, even!) I expect to see you at all of our parties from now on. :) |

The mere arrival of sexy, rum drinkin, lei-wearing, sailor-swearin' Canadians at such events is such a powerful and life altering experience for the American public, that much like El Nino, or a J-Lo wedding, it can only occur once every few years. Sorry! Crystal Chandelier and I would have loved to come - We're aiming for the Hukilau but as I said in another post my Cannes trip may put the kaibosh (sp?) on that too. We also have Mig phoning us at 5am every friday night begging us to come to Vegas. It's all very flattering. Perhaps you need to apply some similar tactics. |

Hey.... was good to finally meet some of you. Me and the wife had a great time, was glad to finally be able to experience it rather than just looking at the photos. I am sorry Handford couldnt make it, was looking forward to meeting him too. Hopefully I'll see some of ya again at the oasis in may. |
