Hey folks,

In case you didn't know, the annual Hot Rod Hula Hop is coming up in one month!!

Sponsored by Tiki Magazine and the Fraternal Order of Moai the Hot Rod Hula Hop is a celebration of Hot Rod and Tiki Cultures. This year looks like a spectacular event with Friday night starting off wth "The Feast of the Tiki Gods" at the Tropical Bistro. Special Guests include Fisherman New York), Francis Llacuna (famed Hawaiian guitarist), and Leilani (Hula Dancing). Saturday nights main event will be held at Largo's Tavern in Dublin, and has a stellar line-up of bands. Lots of vendors too!!

Please visit the website at http://www.hotrodhulahop.com for all the details.

Cheers and Mahalo,
Jeff

Thanks Jeff!

Yes folks, this year the Saturday night band lineup alone is more than worth the paltry sum of $15 you will pay to see...

Fisherman

The Coffin Daggers

Daikaiju

The Heptanes

The Madeira

and Lucky 7

Along with the fabulous ladies of Barnyard Burlesque!

Spinning platters in the DJ booth this year will be Mr. Jet Sterling and his brothers in arms from The Surfabilly Freakout radio show! And we'll also be treated to a mix session by returning champion of all things bizzarre and obscure, DJ Hi Fi Hijinx!

Our emcee duties will be aptly handled by the inexhaustible master showman Zombo!

Be sure to pick up this years HRHH3 mug, designed by our very own Cap'n Skully! (And I'll tell ya, it is really something special)

Not to mention tiki carvers, vendors of all sorts, a lot full of pre 65 traditional hot rods and kustoms, tropical drinks made from authentic vintage recipes, great food, and all the general weirdness you have come to expect from the Hot Rod Hula Hop!

Hope to see you there!

I'll make sure and have one with (in secret code so as not to drop any more names of attendees) "Bames Beitelbaum" who's also coming.
Is Bern from Birginia/D.C. also?

I don't want to drop names, I want to pick some up......

Is anybody flying in for the event? When do you get in? More specifically, we get in Thursday about noon and will be looking for some kind soul to meet us at the airport and be our local guide to the Red Roof Inn (by way of a local liquor store and any interesting bars between the airport and hotel :wink:).

Chip,

A certain person with which you cohabitate (name withheld) has my number. Call me when you hit town and I'll try to arrange something if I can.

God damn JD does it again!
I was thinking of a smart ass remark to your cool response (as usual), and I thought of Alcoholics Unanimous.

Look what came up at http://www.alcoholicsunanimous.com

Ironic word links.

I am not an alcoholic. They go to meetings. I am a lush, I go to bars.

(P.C. Disclaimer.... If you are an alcoholic and are going to meetings, right on. My being a lush is in no way a judgement of your choice to drink or not. If you don't drink that just means there is more for me :wink: )

KuKuAhu posted on 08/02/2007

Well, I for one would just enjoy seeing all you lushes and alcoholics get together for an anonymous meeting of unanimous and magnanimous gregariousness with zero disingenuousness.

Oh, and can somebody please bring a thesaurus for us? Poor us.

Just bought my tix for 'the Feast' on Friday. It was a great time last year and is sure to be again! Saturday will be a blast - really looking forward to seeing the bands - great line-up! Our group is at the Red Roof too...see you there.

K
KuKuAhu posted on 08/05/2007

Friday is all but sold out folks. I expect to take the Paypal down this weekend.

If you have not gotten tix for Friday, you may be too late. I'll be talking to Jeff here shortly, and we'll see what he has left... but I suspect that they are gone.

If you absolutely must attend Friday and you missed getting a ticket (after the Paypal is pulled), you may email me or Jeff to see if anything can be done.

The Feast of the Tiki Gods on August 10th is officially "SOLD OUT." There are still tickets for the Saturday main event though!!!

A BIG thanks to everyone who bought their tickets in advance!

This is going to be a GREAT party!!!! :)

Cheers and Mahalo,

Saturday tickets are also going fast. We do have a limited capacity for that show as well, so you might want to get advance tickets. Once we reach that magic number, no more wrist bands will be released unless people leave.

The weather forecast looks good, and everything is in place.

We'll see you this Friday!
