T tobunga Tiki Socialite Joined: Apr 12, 2008 Posts: 1235	T tobunga Posted posted on Fri, Jul 11, 2008 10:51 AM Here's info Tikiyaki posted earlier in the thread: Here's the list of the evening's festivities. Doors Open at 7:00 p.m. 7:00 Dinner will be served in the main Banquet Room adjoining the Hidden Village until 10:00. The full menu will be available. The Banquet Room will have a full bar featuring a select menu of classic drinks from Beachbum Berry's Grog Log, including the classic Trader Vic's Mai Tai. Get your drink in a Sam's Mug for only $20 ! 9:00 Groove to the Tikiyaki Orchestra! Attention bird callers: Audience participation encouraged! 10:15 Hidden Village Opens. Blessing Ceremony by Crazy Al and Champagne Toast. 10:30 Tikiyaki Orchestra 2nd set. Audience participation is a given at this point. We know how many Mai Tais you will have consumed by this time! The doors to the Hidden Village will remain open after the ceremony, so both the Hidden Village AND the main Banquet Room will be open for us all to enjoy! ...And LLT, that's 10pm AT NIGHT! I had to re-arrange my schedule and threaten to re-arrange someone's face, but I think I'll make the 10.30 show. I desperately want one of those Tikiyaki Orchestra mugs, hope they're not sold out by then!!! Joe Banks, if you're at Kona tonight, I can buy you that drink I owe you!

JW Jason Wickedly Tiki Socialite LBCTIKI Joined: Jan 01, 2008 Posts: 704	JW Jason Wickedly Posted posted on Sat, Jul 12, 2008 9:37 AM Awesome night! I bet there hasn't been that many people at Sam's/Kona since the Tiki heyday in the 50's and 60's. The Grog Log drinks were kind of a bust - fresh lime juice and orgeat doesn't mean sweetened lime juice and amaretto, sorry nice Kona bartender girl. Also, overbooking the Kona Room was not too cool either, since we made our reservations a week in advance and still had to eat dinner in the front part of the restaurant, away from everyone else. The T.O. was excellent as always...what were the cops hasseling Chuck the owner about in the parking lot? Did the Tikiyakis rock way too hard for the Huntington Beach neighbors? That has to be the first time an exotica show was shut down by the fuzz...good job guys! [ Edited by: Jason Wickedly 2008-07-12 11:39 ]

We know you tried) I even saw the elusive, reclusive Dr Z! Now where's my Romper Room mirror so I can call out everyone's name..... It was great to see all your smiling faces. And we had a blast playing for you. I think we achieved what we set out to do. Now the folks at Kona know that TC ohana will pack the joint! And we had fun! Special thanks to Crazy Al, the lovely dancers, the roadcrew (Dibroc, Gary, Trader Tom), all the bird callers, monkey screamers and the "special" percussion section (I won't name them but their initials are Riptide, Biffachu, Roxanne and Rebecca). Bring on more pics!!!!

A atomikitty Tiki Socialite San Fransisco, now LA! Joined: Apr 04, 2005 Posts: 318	A atomikitty Posted posted on Sat, Jul 12, 2008 2:10 PM Great Night! This was actually my first time at the KONA (Sam's) and I think it is fantastic! I really hope there will be more tiki events there in the future, and I am so thankful to the new owners for inviting us to be a a part of the change! Tikiyaki was phenomenal as always! :) The drumming and bird calls echoed perfectly in the hidden village! It all just felt so natural! :) The food was excellent (ahi tuna on cold ginger sobe noodles, sweet potato fries) The service was BEYOND excellent~I was really not expecting that, but I was pleasant surprise. The drinks were. . .a work in progress, but I wouldn't call them 'Lame bartenders' as they were all very friendly and trying their best. Tiki drink mixing is a strange and confusing world to be thrown into when you are used to serving beers and cape cods. They just need to TRY a GOOD tiki drink and their eyes shall be opened and they will see the light! Bartenders should always be allowed to taste their creations, just as fine chefs are. It's all about understanding flavors and quality control. I have hope! Viva La KONA! ~Suzy

Tikiyaki was perfect, there was a couple times, when I thought I was dreaming all of it, and when I realized it was real, I got a bit teary eyed. heres to and amazing night, and to hopefully many more. oh and yeah I did over do it on the drinks, 5 was too many, but all was kept down with some Breakfast up the street after at 1:30 am Damn Dr. Z was there, but he wasn't handing out his hangover pills unfortunately. :( Jeff(bigtikidude)

Super big Mahalos to everyone , you made it a completely unforgettable night. Crazy Al, That blessing was just awesome....Jeez, can he work a crowd or what ? Aloha Aloha Aloha : Mahalo Mahalo Mahalo !!! Dibroc, Gary, Trader Tom...Thanx so much for helping with the gear. We couldn't have pullled that crazy stage move off without your help. Big Tiki Dude, thanx for helping us dial in the sound as we were doing our set. JoeBanks, thanx fo filming...can't wait to see it all. Soccer Tiki and WooHoo, thanx for all the pix, woohooing, you guys always rally the troops - Thanx ! Jason Wickedly...Sorry you got bumped to the other dining room. I can't believe the main banquet room got completely booked. Regarding the drinks. Sorry, if they weren't up to snuff. I gave them photocopied pages from the Grog Log to go by, but beyond that, I couldn't really do much else. All I can do is try. I did heard some good reports on the drinks too. Maybe we need to just have Suzy be special guest mixologist for the next time we try something like that (notice I didn't say " guest bartender") Either way, I'm grateful to Chuck, Chris and the entire staff at KONA, for making it happen.... I don't think they were quite ready for that turnout...frankly, neither was I, but it sure was a pleasant surprise. The only thing I can complain about was those self righteous homeowners who feel the need call the cops to shut down a party at a 50 year old, commercially zoned venue for entertainment, because they bought a home 5 years ago behind the building. Talk about a false sense of entitlement. Can we all go egg and toilet paper their houses next Halloween ? I'll buy the eggs. Anyway, You guys sure can get rowdy over an Exotica Band. It started to sound like a 1970 Grand Funk Railroad concert in there. :o Thanx again for all the madness.....I had a frikken blast !
