Not a tiki event, but I believe King K will be there?

Anyhow, I know it's a way off, but are any of you kats and Kittens going to the Rockabilly Rave this year?

I'm planning on being there. I'm just waiting to see the lineup of bands - who's playing will determine, to some extent, whether I go as a vendor for my label/mail order (Double Crown Records) or as a spectator. Tom, one of the organizers, told me that it's going to be just about 100% rockabilly (I was hoping for a little surf/garage/lounge/exotica action, whose crowd would be a little more open to our Double Crown releases). I'm excited either way though - it'll be a blast as a spectator or as a vendor!

Line up announced, and it looks great!
Tom's right, it is 95% Rockabilly, with some rockin blues, RnB, RnR, western swing etc

We'll be there, too.

Maybe we should organise our own lounge/exotica/surf/garage action??? We always have a cocktail party at our chalet...

Oh! Just thought ... Do you mean Rockabilly Rave UK in June (we do!) or the new RR-USA (Las Vegas)in October?

You are in Bellingham WA, aren't you?

As far as I know Jerry and Tom, are organising the Rave in Vegas. If it's anything like the Uk one, it should be a blast.

Yes, Pea needs to get her tiki in somewhere since she'll be at all of these ROCKABILLY events and NO tiki ones....

I'm kidding Pea, you know I love you. But you SERIOUSLY need to come down to SF for the crawl. I just got my tix and I'm coming from Boston!

you know I wish I could.
this whole payin-the-mortgage-alone-so-I-have-to-work-seven-days-a-week crap really puts a damper on my social traveling. argh.
even skipped Indy this year. fooey.
I promise to get my planning skills back. they took a long vacation this year.

I'm so dang excited to go to the RAVE and see some folks. YAY
I wonder if Brendan's Irish pub makes good mai tais :wink:
or maybe we can get some really tasty tropical drinks at
TGIFridays... hahahahahahahha
regardless, I hope all of the TC folks can get together at some point. I am thinking of trying to get to Trader Vics, and/or Tahiti Joes. maybe we can all meet up at one of those...

Ha...probably still on the 15. I'm going to try to leave at noon, but then we are going to rent a car, load our crap, so on, so forth. I'm guessing we don't make it to the Orleans until 5 or 6. Don't worry..remember it's not a sprint, it's a marathon!

Mai Tai's or Pabsts are always welcome.
