UT Urban Tiki Member The Tropical Isle of Manhattan Joined: Aug 18, 2004 Posts: 529	UT Urban Tiki Posted posted on Tue, Nov 6, 2007 9:56 AM The first event was very successful and introduced me to many of the great NYC TC tribe, so I thought we should do it again. Shun Lee's is at 43 W 65th Street, and we should plan on meeting at 6:30. For those it missed the first one see this post: http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=25308&forum=4&17 Changed the date from 15th to 29th Cheers, Ray [ Edited by: Urban Tiki 2007-11-07 08:57 ]

I was originally coming back from my extended Thanksgiving on the Tuesday before, but turns out I will stay in LA for work the rest of the week. So good because I get to see my family longer, but bad because I will miss this! Any chance that we will do this a third time????

K KikiTiki Member New York City Joined: Sep 10, 2006 Posts: 277	K KikiTiki Posted posted on Tue, Nov 27, 2007 8:48 PM I'm counting the days till that delicious mai tai! The last one I had was 2 weeks ago in Florida at The Mai Kai with some of the NYC Tiki Central ohana and the lovely Tiki Kiliki of The Hukilau. But rum tastes just as good in The Big Apple if it's mixed right! Aloha, Kiki

I know someone who will be arriving at 10pm so we're going to have to hang in there strong- and maybe consume some appetizers so we don't fall off the bar stools!

We'll miss you guys! Shun-Lee's is where we met so many of you for the first time, so it has a special significance for us. Next time, and have a great time!
C captainquad Member Velveteen Lounge, NY Joined: Aug 27, 2007 Posts: 17	C captainquad Posted posted on Thu, Nov 29, 2007 1:55 PM I'm planning on hitting th' joint sharp at 6:30 as I have to split by 7:00--it's a mad mad mad mad dash, like the rest of this rat race, but I reckon one mai tai beats zero mai tai and I can at least say hi y'all. I know some can't come til later--will anyone be there early?
LM leisure master Tiki Socialite The exotic village, NYC Joined: Mar 24, 2007 Posts: 446	LM leisure master Posted posted on Thu, Nov 29, 2007 2:46 PM Hopefully we'll get there by 7, but its going to be close... I am sure others will be there right at 6:30 since there is alcohol involved.

It was so good of Urban Tiki to open his fabulous home to everyone when Shun Lee's didn't work out and I have to give a big thank you here to Leisure Master and Birdgirl for taking care of my wayward hubby after he missed his train! :lol:
LM leisure master Tiki Socialite The exotic village, NYC Joined: Mar 24, 2007 Posts: 446	LM leisure master Posted posted on Fri, Nov 30, 2007 9:02 AM No worries VT, we were glad to have him. I hope he's doing ok (or at least better than me). When we got back to our place the impromptu rum and scotch tasting began after Nicole whipped up some hot buttered burbon for all of us and our other house guest. it was kinda too much joy for a school night. oy vey.
UT Urban Tiki Member The Tropical Isle of Manhattan Joined: Aug 18, 2004 Posts: 529	UT Urban Tiki Posted posted on Fri, Nov 30, 2007 9:15 AM It was a great time- thanks to everyone for coming. Great pics and post Sneaky Jack!
C captainquad Member Velveteen Lounge, NY Joined: Aug 27, 2007 Posts: 17	C captainquad Posted posted on Fri, Nov 30, 2007 9:17 AM Yep, we were shut out of Shun's all right. Well UT knows a few things about assembling a private party and frankly a better one. I had a blast with the friendly NYC ohana--well clearly as I lost track of time and missed my elephant ride home (thanks to LM & BG for saving my hide.) A big hearty thanks goes to the proprietor for opening up th' gates to the estate, catering the joint, slapping on the stack o' Lps for full, rich hi fi sound and acting as mixmaster. Damn good drinks I might add.

I was the person to whom Kiki referred earlier in the thread - had hoped to arrive around 10pm, but.... I had the pleasure of meeting some of you at the Marion's [aka "Kahiki East"] soiree last summer, and it would have been nice to meet the rest of the NYC ohana - hopefully we will get another chance before the year is out. In the meantime - happy Fridays, everyone! Best, Dennis http://www.myspace.com/dekethebeachcomber

Your Mai Tais and even the Chinese delivery were excellent. Too bad more folks didnt hang around for the Pyrat shots, cigars, and custom guitar appreciation portion of the evening!!! Dave What's up for our December tiki event calendar???

Dec. 28) Sometimes you need to recover from all/or the lack of family activity during the holidays & that might be good for those of us in town.. Dan runs the Myspace Tiki Paradise users group at http://groups.myspace.com/httptikigroupmyspacecom His profile is http://www.myspace.com/dan_k Anyone going to be around?
