Bump ! Just so you all know, we have some of the limited Edition Tikiyaki Orchestra / Hukilau Mugs (designed by our beloved Drummer SQUID) leftover and they will be available for sale at this event.
$30 while supplies last. We will also have a small run of 11' x 17" Posters for this commemorative event, as seen in the initial post for $10. This is going to be a great event. Admission is free and I'd love to show the owners how dedicated the TC Ohana is to Tiki. Folks, if you haven't been to the new Kona, you're missing out. It's our last standing Tiki Temple in SoCal, so if you guys want a great Tiki place to hang, show your support. Looking forward to it, big time ! |

We're not keeping anything on the down-low. Honestly, I didn't mention the beachcomber gig, because, at $75 per ticket, I didn't want to insult people with that kind of ticket price. It was a Malibu fundraiser, and far from a Tiki event. We were there to provide a nice tropical musical background for people to eat, drink and socialize to. This really wasn't a "show" per se. This KONA event however IS Free, and we want ALL the Tikiphiles to come out because, let's face it, we have NO original Tiki places still standing in SoCal, and even tho' KONA has gone through a transformation from Sam's to Kona, it's still an original Tiki place, and a damn nice one at that, so we should support it. We all gripe everytime another great tiki place is torn down, but KONA is trying to keep it's original Sam's Tiki vibe alive, and it needs the support of the Tiki community. So, no down low for this....Tell everyone you know. It's gonna be a fun night. |

I'm with ya Jim but you've mentioned this before and I'm sure the people at The Tonga Hut, Bahooka, Tiki-Ti, Damon's, The Bali Hai, Humphrey's and even the Warehouse might argue with you. I'll be there on the 11th. |

Oops. Guess I should have done :wink: instead of :). I was just pulling your leg since that was such a change from the promotapalooza for each of the previous Tikiyaki performances. I'll stop talking now and just show up and watch you play. See you on the 11th. :blush: |

You got a point there Boris. I guess I don't ever really think of the Tiki Ti because it's so small, and doesn't really give you the Big Supper club experiencethat, say, the Mai Kai does. In that respect, KONA is the closest think we have to the Mai Kai interms of the scale of the place. The Tiki Ti tho' is famous for the drinks and the owner history, which is obviously a big part of The Warehouse.....that's a place I need to go...Isn't it more of a strictly nautical theme tho ? KATE...no worries, and yea, I guess I'm heavy handed when it comes to promo. There's really no point in lugging 7 people and all that gear out to play to nobody. God knows, I've done enough of THAT in my life with other bands, so I try to make sure that when the band has gone through all that effort, there is a crowd to play to. :) Anyway, I really want this to be a great event., and no disrespect was meant to the other fine establishments I overlooked. I Love Bahooka,The Tonga Hut, and Damons.....my bad :roll: |

Remember....this is like a dinner show. The entry is free. If you reserve a table or are lucky enough to get a table without a reservation, then the waitresses will be expecting you to order food from their menu. The owner is working with us and wants our support ($$$) on an ongoing basis. Let's have a fun time and keep this place alive. |

I hope they plan on having a full waitstaff that night. We were there wednesday evening. Only one waitress for the entire place. Little or no help from the rest of the staff. The food was fantastic but the staffing and service still need work. |

Spermy, I DID have the time on the flyer, but took it off as I was still planning out the evening's events, and nothing was set in stone yet. However, the above posted schedule should answer all your timing questions. Regarding the wait staff. The Owner told me that they will have 4 people on the wait staff for the event (just for our room, I believe)) Also. The owner also told me that there was some miscommunication regarding reservations, and some people were told that they weren't taking reservations when they called to make them. Here is the link to make reservations online...very simple. http://www.opentable.com/single.aspx?rid=21031&restref=21031 Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause anyone. Thanx for chiming in on this stuff guys ! See you al there ! By The Way : As promised, The Tikiyaki orchestra Special Event drink menu. KONA agreed to make select recipes from Beachbum Berry's Grog Log, renamed for the members of the band for the night. Now, if THAT don't tell you how cool the new owners are, I don't know what does.... Here it is. [ Edited by: tikiyaki 2008-07-08 08:08 ] |
