CH cheeky half Member Tucson, AZ Joined: Nov 22, 2002 Posts: 801	CH cheeky half Posted posted on 12/21/2009 We are really excited as Relight the Night is really taking off! We've got people coming out from Tucson (of course), Phoenix, New Mexico, Colorado, California and even New York. People have already started making reservations at the Kon Tiki and hounding them for the limited edition event mug. Just to clarify that, the mug is available to buy now but you gotta pick it up in person. Please don't call the Kon Tiki for the mug, you can get it here: http://www.kontikitucson.com/relightthenight/relightmug.html We've acquired the services of Max Cannon, who will MC the evening's event from the outside stage. If you're unfamiliar with Max and his work, here's a link to his web site: http://www.redmeat.com/redmeat/ Tickets are $12 in advance and $15 at the door. Tickets bought in advance include a free Kon Tiki shot glass (another Squid special), which can easily be filled. Buy 'em here... http://www.kontikitucson.com/relightthenight/relighttickets.html The Tikiyaki Orchestra will be performing 2 sets INSIDE the Kon Tiki. The first set will be a dinner set starting around 8:00. The Kon Tiki doesn't usually take dinner reservations, but as they're anticipating a lot of people, they are for the Tikiyaki Dinner Show. between 6pm and 7.30pm. Give 'em a call directly to make a reservation (520)323 7193 Here's a link to a handy seating chart. We'll do our very best to keep updating this as quickly as possible, but please understand if your table choice is unavailable: http://www.kontikitucson.com/relightthenight/relightseating.html The hotel just a short crawl away (no car necessary) has offered us a special rate of $105.

Relight the Night on April 10, 2010 will be the first time in at least 20 years that the torches in front of the Kon Tiki will be seen in full blazing glory! The torch lighting ceremony will be officiated by Flam Chen, the incredibly talented pyrotechnic theatre troupe. Check out their web site to see glimpses of their brilliance. http://www.flamchen.com It's gonna be a great new year!
B beadtiki Tiki Socialite Bothell, Washington Joined: Aug 24, 2007 Posts: 930	B beadtiki Posted posted on 01/04/2010 This sounds like fun! Unfortunately I live too far away and have too little money! I haven't even been to the Kon Tiki - although my parents did - and they HAD to have a couple of King Kamehamehas (I THINK!?) just to bring home a couple of the trademark orange Tiki mugs! My parents REALLY go the extra mile for their kids! LOL Be sure to get LOTS of pictures when the time comes. Living vicariously through rum!
CH cheeky half Member Tucson, AZ Joined: Nov 22, 2002 Posts: 801	CH cheeky half Posted posted on 01/05/2010 There will be plenty of pics but we can't be held responsible if looking at them makes you wish even more that you had been there in person. :wink: We are working on a hotel package to offer out of towners. As soon as we get the details settled we will post it here. In the meantime, in case you didn't get enough of them over New Years (and really, who could ever get enough of them).............. The gents of Tikiyaki will be providing tropical tuneage and exotic goodness.

Would love to make it back for this....will have to see as things get closer. Unemployment won't quite cover the airfare. Luckily, I'd have a place to stay.
CH cheeky half Member Tucson, AZ Joined: Nov 22, 2002 Posts: 801	CH cheeky half Posted posted on 01/22/2010 Thanks for the bumpity bump btd! Miles definitely be damned CC. Hotel, advanced tix and all other pertinent info will be available on the Kon Tiki web site next week. We'll post here when it's up. 25 years ago staredge? Were the tiki torches lit back then? We are trying to figure out exactly how long it's been since flames adorned the facade of the Kon Tiki. If anyone has any info on that or pics - feel free to chime in..... On that subject, Louie (the manager of the KT) is bringing the torches up to code which will require new funnel bits. Here's a pic of the bottom of the old ones. (don't worry they will be kept and reintegrated into another part of the KT)
S Staredge Tiki Socialite Damascus MD Joined: Jul 15, 2008 Posts: 130	S Staredge Posted posted on 01/22/2010 Might actually be closer to 30....and I don't remember. Would have been about 10. I still remember general things about the evening...like wanting a bowl drink and my parents saying no!!!!! :D Would love to be there. I didn't get to go the last time I was home (3 or 4 years ago), and not sure when I'll get to come back.
CH cheeky half Member Tucson, AZ Joined: Nov 22, 2002 Posts: 801	CH cheeky half Posted posted on 01/22/2010 Nobody's going to stop you from having a scorpion this time staredge and the hotel is within walking/stumbling distance of the Kon Tiki so it's all good!

CH cheeky half Member Tucson, AZ Joined: Nov 22, 2002 Posts: 801	CH cheeky half Posted posted on 01/23/2010 BTD...Thanks for the compliment. Coco... The Meet Rack is indeed quite an 'experience'. Not for the faint of heart if you ask for 'The Tour'. However, they actually have one of the original Milan Guanko tikis that was stolen from the Kon Tiki many years ago by some frat boys. You can see it there, along with other items of local color. Swampfire...we really need to talk.

CH cheeky half Member Tucson, AZ Joined: Nov 22, 2002 Posts: 801	CH cheeky half Posted posted on 01/27/2010 OK, a little bit of an update. We've fiddled around with the Kon Tiki web site and added a Relight The Night section where all the pertinent information will be stored. It's not completely done yet as there are a few little details we still need to work out, but here's a link... http://www.kontikitucson.com/relightthenight.html What we do know is that the Viscount Suite Hotel just a block away has offered us a great rate of $125 per suite (it's usually $165) The place is literally a short rum-soaked stagger away and has very comfy suites, a pool, a bar, a restaurant, an atrium, several elevators and ice machines. What more could you possibly need in a hotel? Here's a map... And yes, beelzebozo, Thee Swanky Ones will be gracing us with their pastied presence
