It means, "Is there a forest in the province?" :D I didn't have the foresigfht to take Spanish. I took Latin & French. Boy, those have have come in almost as handy as the Cobal & Fortran classes I took in college! Zeta, I'd be interested in hooking up. I have a few tradeables. Where are you staying?

I been here before, so I visited Kowloon, South Pacific, Bali Hai, Huke lau, Luau hale, Tiki ports, Islander, Tiki palace etc... New England needs more and better Tiki!!! but thanks for the recommendations anyway... Is there any other 1950's cool place that I should visit? Mr. Ho, thanks for the invitation/plug I'm in Cambridge... Trade? yeah! Viva el Hub!

J jpmartdog Tiki Socialite Amesbury, Mass Joined: Mar 27, 2005 Posts: 650	J jpmartdog Posted posted on Wed, Mar 31, 2010 4:48 PM Ok - lets put something together New England Ohana. Zeta needs to meet the Ohana. I am the last person to pull it together with my mobility issues - but I will try my darndest to get somewhere that we can arrange. Exotic Island is always available, but it may not have the proper 'provenance'. But the films are def spectacular!
H Hibiscus Member Boston-ish Joined: Sep 22, 2008 Posts: 211	H Hibiscus Posted posted on Thu, Apr 1, 2010 7:00 AM I'd love to meet up. I'm not a great "puller-together-er", but a Kowloon or even a Tiki Island meet-up before Zeta leaves would be worth a try. I know it's Easter weekend, but how is late Saturday afternoon or evening for people?

I'm up for anything starting April 6. That's like 1 night before you leave Zeta. Anyway, if anything happens on the 6th or the 7th before you leave I'm game!

Trying to decide if it is worth it http://www.facebook.com/northeasttikitour Well, this year is going to be a bit scaled down. The NeTT was getting a bit too big, and becoming a logistical nightmare (multiple buses, too many folks to be at the small stops at the same time, etc etc). So now we've got OHANA to go & get big and unruly! lol But alot of folks missed the bus tour, so yeah, its back. Tickets & all info will be posted tmrw. There is only ONE bus this year, which means only 50 seats, and when they're gone, they're gone. Full info in the Nett thread tmrw. Hope you join us zonker. And break a leg Mr Ho. Wish I could make it.

MH Mr. Ho Tiki Socialite Boston, MA Joined: Oct 09, 2005 Posts: 490	MH Mr. Ho Posted posted on Thu, Nov 4, 2010 11:21 AM Ho ho ho from Mr. Ho! Man, the NE ohana missed a good exotica show last night at Johnny D's! Didn't see as many aloha shirts and tikiphiles out there as I like to (always nice playing for the "outsiders" haha) , but hope to see you all in January at the big Esquivel CD release show (23pc big band plays the new album in it's entirety, plus a quick preview-set from the exotica quartet who perform a full length show Jan 30th at Club Passim in Cambridge, MA with local surf band, The Electric Space Heaters). We're also in NYC on Dec 2 - http://orchestrotica.com/shows.cfm for those down in southern CT! If you missed the show news, you can join the mailing list at http://orchestrotica.com/mailinglist.cfm?ref=tc1104 saludos, Mr. Ho and the Orchestrotica
B Bargoyle Member Tolland, CT Joined: Mar 18, 2004 Posts: 1032	B Bargoyle Posted posted on Tue, Jul 5, 2011 8:17 AM Dusting this sucker off again.... Working on some more stuff in New England (but don't feel you need to wait on me!! Go! Support tiki!) Tiki Retreat in the Berkshires... trying to nail down a date and get a hotel discount for everyone. Most likely LATE summer... if I can wait that long. Luau Hale's drinks are fantastic! And I'm dying for some Cheese Monas, so I'm thinking a meet-up at Ken Chins in Worcester is very close on the horizon. And pretty much anytime anyone wants to do the Kowloon/Bali Hai double-play, I'm in. Also, the Hukelau in Chicopee has their Hawaiian Show the next three Fridays this month!! I'm gone the next two weekends, but don't let that stop you! Just be sure to bring a flask, as their cocktails are nearly devoid of rum. [ Edited by: Bargoyle 2011-07-05 08:19 ]

Trully American. Love New England!

And if you havent seen the Hukelau show in awhile, its actually gotten pretty good. Which is good and bad. I kind of liked the super cheesy old show. And yes, the drinks are still pretty much devoid of alcohol, so bring a flask! lol [ Edited by: Bargoyle 2011-07-15 11:50 ]
Z Zeta Member Atlantis/Basque Country/Spain/Mexico Joined: Feb 13, 2007 Posts: 2105	Z Zeta Posted posted on Tue, Jul 19, 2011 4:53 AM Thanks Mr. Ho, I'll try to make it to your show. if I'm in town, I'll be there for sure... Bargoyle or anyone, I'm looking for tiki or any other midcentury (or not) coolness in New England... Is there a thread like that here at TC ? Maybe in Beyond tiki? If not, maybe we should start one... What do you tiki type people suggest me to see? I have been here many times before, so the tiki temples I have explored, but I'm sure I'm still missing a lot of other cool spots. Suggestions?
MH Mr. Ho Tiki Socialite Boston, MA Joined: Oct 09, 2005 Posts: 490	MH Mr. Ho Posted posted on Tue, Jul 19, 2011 6:41 AM not a lot of MCM here that I know of but for stores, check out two of my favorites: Abodeon (Mass ave in Cambridge) Reside Inc (also in Cambridge) Abodeon is right near the Porter Sq. T Stop. Reside is a little more in a residential area and is more furniture oriented while Abodeon is housewares and some furniture. Nice stuff...$$$! hope to see ya on the 29th, Mr. Ho
B Bargoyle Member Tolland, CT Joined: Mar 18, 2004 Posts: 1032	B Bargoyle Posted posted on Tue, Jul 19, 2011 10:40 AM The only cool mid century kitschy stuff was on route 1, up by the Kowloon & Bali Hai, but its all being bulldozed to make way for mini-malls & the like. :( In addition to Kowloon & Bali Hai, the South Pacific is a must hit, and if you're out near Gloucester, you MUST go see our friends at Ryan & Wood distilleries, makers of Folly Cove Rum, and continuous supporters of the Ohana event! Plus, its just damn good fun to watch rum being made!!! Other than those, there's some good stuff in Western Mass, but I'm not sure what your transportation situation is. The Luau Hale, out in Lenox (the berkshires) is actually fantastic. Great drinks & food, and some beautiful murals. There's also the HuKeLau in Chicopee, MA, which still does a polynesian floor show and has some great decor (even post-remodel) but the food and drinks leave a bit to be desired. And Ken Chin's in Worcester (home of the Cheese Mona... deeeeelicious!!). Ken has long since passed, but his wife Judy makes everything fresh, and while much of the decor is gone, Judy is awesome and will regale you with tales of the old days, and the food and drink are fantastic! Seriously. Try the Cheese Monas. You'll be dreaming about them until your next trip back here! And of course, the Lono Lounge is always open if you, or anyone else, find themselves in Tolland, CT at any point. Oh, and if you REALLY feel like driving, there's always Lake George, with more googie retro MCM stuff than you can shake a stick at. Not to mention the world famous Tiki Resort, home of the Ohana event (that you just missed unfortunately). One of my favorite spots, even when Ohana isn't swinging.

The music and drinks are good, and cheap Polynesian appetizers 5-7 PM are a bonus. Brother Cleve, who runs this show, is a feature of the American tiki/lounge scene who is both old and authentic. :)
