TIKI CRAWL 9 Day One

Trad'r Sam: It was retro night at Sam's tonight, my first visit ever. Pith helmets? Pith helmets! Those guys were Quicksand before Quicksand was cool.

Your Crawl Director Julie McCoy, err, Mai Tai, got the ball rolling by ordering what shall likely be the "Best Drink of SF Tiki Crawl 9" award winner. I'd vote for it, if I could. It tastes even better than it looks. Much more better-er.

Tonga Room: was, well...Tonga Room.

Bamboo Hut: No clue, I went to the Giants game. How was Bamboo Hut?

Remember, the SF Tiki Crawl is a marathon, not a sprint.

Pace yourselves,
midnite

My first tiki event (and my first post.) So far it's been awesome! I'm not coming out tonight (Friday), but definitely jumping in on Saturday. I've never been to Forbidden Island, so I'm pretty excited about that.

Thank you, everyone, for being so friendly to me and my wife. We are both total newbs to the tiki scene, and it's great to feel so welcomed!

Looks like last night was fun times. Mai Tai, what was in that drink? Looks like a girley man drink. Can't wait for this evening. Sneaking out of work at 2pm to meet you all at the hotel to hop on the bus. Yeehaw!

That drink is exactly three parts Draino to one part Orange sherbet. How it manages to taste like Children's Bayer aspirin is something I've been trying to work out the details on for years...

But the truth of the matter is, I LOVE TRAD'R SAM'S! There is something about the marriage of tiki and dive bar that gets me. Every single time.

Had a great time on the crawl last night! Looking forward to more, more, more!

Here are a few of the photos I took yesterday:

It's a bird! It's a plane! No, actually that's just the Trad'r Sam's sign. Never mind.

Made opening Crawl last night night in San Francisco. I can only hope that the Tonga Room doesn't go the way of the dodo. Tonga Itches and Blue Hawaiians at Tonga Room followed by by Forbidden Jungles, Face Erasers, and Painkillers at Bamboo Hut made for a good time. Couldn't make tonight but that might be for the best. Hot rods, fezzes, and tiki can be a recipe for traffic tickets :-} . We rented our own mini bus for the rest of the weekend. Mahalo. Hukilau, Esq.

Looks awesome guys! Pity we couldn't join you. Been holding up the bars that last couple nights!
Way looking forward to tonight...and seeing everyone again.
Denise and I are putting together a little spread for the crawlers at Forbidden Island...and of course, there will be PIZZA at Conga Lounge. Word has it there may even be some cocktails too.

SEE YA ALL LATER!!!!

Less than one hour and we all re-converge (literally) at Forbidden Island. It's been so much fun for me to meet the Bay Area Tiki Ohana. What lovely people and it makes me remember why I enjoyed living in San Francisco years ago. Hanford gave me great insight into the Trader Vic's Palo Alto, which was different from what I was expecting, but is worth seeing if you're into Papua New Guinea carvings. Checked out Absinthe cocktail bar today (thank you, Rumrunner!) and oh my! Their cocktail menu is amazing!!! Going back to actually sample one tomorrow. But... it's not Tiki, so stay on topic, Kari.

Anyway, looking forward to another whacky time with you all tonight. Last night's party bus was made only sweeter by Woohoo Wahine's war cry cheering each and every one of us back to the hotel.

Ditto!!! And also a big thanks to Smoke Tiki, Notch, Forbidden Island, Conga Lounge, Kona Club, and Trader Vics Eville and Palo Alto. The Raffle at Kona Club was gracious, and winning the Orchids R-1 headhunter was extra sweet.

Congratulations to Hanford and Mai Tai in producing another wonderful crawl!! Servanne and Jon at Trader Vics said you both were wonderful to work with and look forward to future partnerships with the two of you. I know how much work you both did for this. You both are exclusively responsible for a perfect crawl.

The crawl lives because of you two and it was a BLAST! I appreciate you both and know everyone on the crawl does as well. Look forward to 2010!!

I figure some people are still recovering from Saturday night and/or just haven't checked Tiki Central in the past 24 hours... I would like to offer a REWARD with the safe return of the camera...It is not an expensive camera, just a sentimental one!

And again, as I've said in personal conversations and emails... BIG MAHALOZ to Hanford, MaiTai, CocoLoco and the rest for hosting such a fun event!!! Smoke Tiki, Notch, Palo Alto Trader Vic's, Forbidden Island, Conga Lounge, Kona Club and Trader vic's Emeryville all made the Fri/Sat Crawl so very fun and memorable!

SF TIKI CRAWL DAY 5 : Recovery

What happened on days 2-4? The $6 drinks special at Vic's seemed like such a great idea...in theory...then theory hits the cold reality of practice and I cry for Mommy to make the pain go way. Still, I loves me some Navy Grog sugar sticks.

The Crawl was Zazz*. Way to go HL and Elder Mai Tai. The different locations came through this year. Kona even had a tiki raffle, remember those? Vic's, Conga, FI...the welcome mat was out. Lots of new faces; it is much fun to meet first-time Crawlers. New blood and all.

Thanks Soccer Tiki, but full kudos must go to Hanford and Mai Tai. They did all the planning and producing. I was simply there for support, backup, and fun! :)

And for the camera call the bus company, I think Mai Tai gave you info right?, Doug promised that he'd hold onto any lost cameras. :)

I have a huge MAHALO for the organizers, hosts, flight attendants, and the TC ohana for the fun we had on our first crawl! East Bay night was perfectly lovely. That Oaktown rainbow was really something, too. We made some new tiki buddies, got some top-notch swag, and look forward to upcoming TC events so we can meet again. Aloha...

You and Chad were great. It was fun being your tiki buddy, and I for one look forward to your participation in future bay area events.

Maholo to the organizers and attendees to the crawl. This was my first time "on the bus" and we had a blast both nights. I am proud to say I have been upgraded from a Tiki Central lurker to a full fledged poster (that is if this works!)
Special thanks to WooHooWahine, SoccerTiki and Metikiman 1705 for helping us learn the ropes!

Thanks!

We had a great time cruising with you, buddy! Thanks for welcoming us newbies. It was cool getting inside scoop from you about Tiki Tom's. I am totally working on getting that deck permit approved in time for next year's brunch! :wink: Hope to see you then, if not sooner.

I noticed this piece of art was missing from one of the bathrooms in the Emeryville Trader Vics. I hope it didn't disappear during the crawl! The management was and has been great to us and they don't deserve the theft of this! Please don't make a big deal because at this point all I know is that it was there in October 2008. Some jerk may have taken it a few months ago. It is too bad that apparently someone did take it at some point. RAZZ!

What a killer weekend! I'm so happy to be back in the Bay Area and it was wonderful to see everyone. Many, many mahalos to HL and Mai Tai for putting on a great weekend; thanks for ALL of your amazing hard work. Notch, thanks for the killer mug and for letting us all through your wonderful shop and really awesome bar. I had a great time with the rest of the flight crew on the bus... thanks for letting me help out. Special amazing mahalos to the staff at both Trader Vic's Emeryville and Palo Alto - being treated to specially priced drinks and amazing bands at both locations was so special. We're lucky Ohana 'round these parts! I'm looking forward to all of the treats in store for next year - Tiki Crawl 10 WILL KICK ARSE!

A few weekend photos:

The amazing double rainbow that appeared after the brief burst of rain in Oakland on Saturday:

Thanks to Hanford and Mai Tai for pulling Tiki Crawl 9 together. Now that my head is clear again, I can certainly say that the people, venues, and beverages were top drawer. The "short bus" we brought was a good time and convenient, but I would also enjoy riding the long bus next time. As a former Piedmont resident, my head and internal organs are grateful that the Conga Room and Kona Club were nondescript fraternity bars in those days. Mahalo!
