Wow, you're sooooooo cool. A good friend of mine just died... he was a huge Newcastle enthusiast... so that's all I've been drinking in his honor the past two weeks. So, I am going to show a bit of enthusiasm for a whole keg of it.... even if it is 3 months away. Guess I shouldn't show any excitement for my trip to Spain/Morocco either.... since we don't leave for another week...

Who wouldn't be stoked about a trip to Spain? but 3 months? for any kind of Beer? C'mon! that is a stretch... the only time someone should be stoked about a 3-month wait is that they turn 21 in that span of time or they're a Marine and a"Shortimer".. Sorry about your friend... but,seriously one shouldn't be so thin-skinned when we joke on these threads.. Most Tcer's don't know the situations their Ohana encounter in their personal lives and sometime we step on toes wthout any malicious intent. Again, sorry about your friend Mr. Menny I'll raise a glass of NewCastle in his honor next time I'm around a bar....

BTC Billy the Crud Member San Diego Joined: Jun 02, 2007 Posts: 996	BTC Billy the Crud Posted posted on Tue, Jan 27, 2009 2:26 PM If you're in Federal lock-up, a keg even a YEAR away is something to be stoked about......I don't think any TCers are locked up, but you never know. Amenities in Club Fed are way more extravagant than folks who make under 30k per year can afford, so they probably have wireless laptops in all of the cells. And since this is NOT a Tiki party, we're all just going to be a bunch of So-Cal douchebags, hanging around a Huntington parking lot in hawaiian shirts. DAMN THESE LABELS!! Oh well. I'll bring the vinegar, as usual.

However, we are doing a two week road trip that Tiki Oasis will be a part of and have plans to go to Huntington Beach. Ben, do you think you could do another party then so we can see your place? :wink:

I'm gonna take my 1000th post to invite you all to check out a cool little ditty I wrote based on the legendary Don Ho mai tai glass. The song is called "Suck 'Em Up" and was performed live by my band, The Hula Girls at the Blue Cafe in Long Beach a couple of weeks ago. Enjoy! and we'll see you all at Ben's NOONER. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6y9DAGvycPA
TM tiki mick Tiki Socialite SOCAL Joined: May 12, 2004 Posts: 4094	TM tiki mick Posted posted on Thu, Apr 2, 2009 9:02 AM I would like to add that ALL our song lyrics written by Lucky D are about the Tiki lifestyle. Mugs, low brow art, surfing, classic poly-pop references are in every single song we do. I am very excited about this gig, because some of you OC people who have missed our gigs will really get a chance to finally hear and see us. Pay attention to the lyrics if you can, because they are about you, me and this thing of ours, TIKI!

L Luckydesigns Tiki Socialite Costa Mesa Joined: Sep 15, 2002 Posts: 2374	L Luckydesigns Posted posted on Thu, Apr 2, 2009 10:54 AM Thanks, Jeff! Yeah, that one is called WAIKIKI MOON... That's a happy little ditty too. From the grand re-opening of the Royal Hawaiian http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3sYtk2EYsR4 ....and to Lucas' point, a song that I wrote awhile ago that features a character in the low brow art scene is called SURFIN' WITH VON FRANCO. It's a real surfy, hot roddy kinda thing... I wrote it after hanging out out with Franco at Tiki Oasis years ago... back when it was in Palm Springs... One of my favorites... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_TYIkrjF3Q

Can't wait to see the new digs.
T tikiyaki Tiki Socialite The Exotic Port of REDONDO BEACH, CA Joined: May 18, 2004 Posts: 2725	T tikiyaki Posted posted on Thu, Apr 2, 2009 8:11 PM Looking forward to the privilege of playing this show at Ben's. I think my first trip to the show was in 2001, when a girl i worked with who knew I liked Tiki stuff told me about one of the many 1/2 off sales at the shop, and we cruised over there on a Sat morning. I still have the stuff I bought that day hanging up on my wall. Probably my "in person" first brush with the TC community... Anyway, this should be loads of fun.

I heard about it somehow thru the surfing museum. and I went to check it out. I recognized a few people from SHAG art shows. I got a mug from Tiki Diablo and JonPaul was looking at it recently and said "dude I think this was one of the first mugs Danny did" who knew? Kinda like when I bought some tiki tones pendants from Crazy Al back in 1997? at the surf museum shows, man that was ancient history now. Jeff(bigtikidude)
