And here's the mug! Designed by us (with a little help from Milan Guanko), sculpted by Pappy Squid and torches made by Max at Taboo Island. Follow the link from this page, but please be aware that the Relight The Night mug is ONLY available at the event! You can purchase your mug now and it will be available for pick-up on April 10th at the Kon Tiki http://www.kontikitucson.com/relightthenight/relightmerchandise.html Mahalos, and remember: Don't Play With Fire!

Thanks guys! We've updated the web site with the dimensions and capacity of the mug. Here's the basic info: The Super Limited mug measures 8" high (plus 1" extra when the lid is on) and holds 12oz. Includes a base, a lid, a swanky red glaze on the inside, 2 removable, hand-painted resin tiki torches and is an edition of 50. $110 We cannot endorse the use of any flammable alcoholic beverage while operating this vehicle. The Limited mug is the same size as the Super-Limited but actually holds more liquid, thanks to the awesome 'Tardis Effect' that Squid has been secretly working on. This mug holds 14oz of your favorite libation and has a one-color glaze. In an edition of 100. $45 Please remember that you can buy the mugs now but they are ONLY available for pick-up in person at Relight The Night. http://www.kontikitucson.com/relightthenight/relightmerchandise.html Thanks.

Here's some Late-Breaking info: The re-lighting ceremony will take place outside, under the torches, with a pyrotechnic performance by Flam Chen and The Disillusionists and music from Thee Swank Bastards and Shrimp Chaperone. 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/ (The guy even has his own Wikipedia page): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Cannon The Tikiyaki Orchestra will be performing 2 sets INSIDE the Kon Tiki. The first set will be a dinner set starting around 8:00. For those of you who've never been to the Kon Tiki, make your dinner reservations now...this will be a really great, intimate setting. Dinner, cocktails, exotica..what more could you ask for ? Because seating is limited and we'd like to minimize disturbances during the show, we've had to come up with a few little rules: We'll be taking reservations from 6 'til 7.30 We will hold your table for 15 minutes after your reservation. Please don't be late! Everyone at your table must order dinner. Below you'll find 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 Remember, seating is limited and dinner reservations are strongly recommended. You will need to call the Kon Tiki directly at (520) 323 7193 to make your reservations. They are open at 11 a.m (Arizona Time) daily. Tikiyaki will play a second set later in the evening with no reservations required. Don't forget your Limited Edition Event mugs, either! Available for purchase now and pick-up at the event :) http://www.kontikitucson.com/relightthenight/relightmug.html |

So I am wondering what the ratio of out of towners to local Az. tiki peeps is gonna be. Hopefully the word is getting out to the Az tiki crowd, that may not look at TC that often. Jeff(btd) |

BTD, So far the locals have the out-of-towners beat! We've also got folks coming in from WA, NV, NM, NJ & CO. The local Tucson Tiki crowd don't tend to post here much (we call them 'The Silent Supporters'). We've got some good local press coverage in the works so I'm sure the Tucson contingent will be showing some pretty serious love for the Kon Tiki! M&M |
