I had totally forgotten about this.
I know I wasn't drunk,
but my mind must have been somewhere else in my mind.

But seeing this brought it all back.
Great to See ya Scott,
hope to see ya in Aug. for the SG101 convention.

No, he had a handler. But I think he's going to visit some OHANA on the East Coast, then be heading off with his new host family. I'll get my pics of his visit to the PopTiki Studios up soon...

I agree... Mr.Tiki has been huffin' and puffin' at a much slower pace. But we know he can get around, and HOPEFULLY he will get to visit this year's Oasis!

ok as mr. tiki's social secretary for the past long time, i want to apologize on his part for his long sabbatical. we had arranged a photo shoot at the former location of the washington d.c. trader vic's, and he totally blew off showing up. so today we woke him out of his alcoholic stupor long enough to catch hanging him with the moai at the national museum of natural history.

again, apologies for the long wait, and as of today i am resigning as his social secretary. his junket is heading out of town directly to his next (undisclosed) location, where we hear he can continue to satiate his thirst for the finest rum.

I'm glad Mr Tiki is alive and well after his long silence. He has never been to Washington DC before, thanks for showing him around Johnny Dollar. The map of his travels has been updated on page one.

MR TIKI LIVES!!!

Yes, Mr. Tiki recently arrived in NYC to enjoy the mild winter. In fact, I think he is the reason for the mild winter...

It was a quick trip and he did not get to many of the usual sites - maybe on a return trip that could be arranged...

Here we are before I start bartending at Lani Kai for Tiki Monday All Stars...

with my co-bartender Tiki Adam and lovely wife Birdgirl...

...with Brian Miller, the founder of Lani Kai Tiki Mondays and all around good guy...

...and with Julie Reiner, Lani Kai owner, awesome bartender and Mystery Bowl imbiber...

Speaking of Mystery Bowls....before he left me for new adventures, Mr Tiki also accompanied birdgirl and me on a trip down to Ft Lauderdale....and was the center of attention at a certain other little tiki bar....

Where did he go from here...?

Who knows.....


I'm not an alcoholic, I'm an enthusiast.

Mr Tiki was recently spotted in Sacramento, hope he gets some more pictures before he leaves there.

I hear rumors that he may be packing for an international trip?

Well after enjoying some relaxation at Rugger's Reef with the Sacto ohana Mr. Tiki was whisked off to Hamburg, Germany where he was a big hit at Trader Vic's in the Raddison Blu.

Meeting Bonifacio the Bar Manager

and always popular with the ladies

After enjoying the cold grey of Deutschland he headed west to Manchester England where it was suprisingly sunny! Two terrific tiki bars there in Town Centre: Hula and Keho Mohu.

Making friends with the staff of Hula

Spending time at the bar with the mixologists at Keho Mohu

He is resting by the pool at the Beachcomber Bungalow today but who knows where he will be tomorrow?

There's a hand-off picture floating around somewhere that I'm sure Rugby Matt will post soon.

Mr. Tiki is now my travel companion, with the hand-off happening at Ohana Luau at the Lake in Lake George, NY.

A couple pictures from Lake George.....

Mr. Tiki making friends with the ladies, again:

Hi Mike we are all missing you. This has been quite a dry spell for MDM fans.

Remember the traveling plaque that you made and that people have taken around the world??? Here is the latest update on its progress.

The plaque has been to many countries while in Rugby Matt's hands. He should list where it has been. Really this plaque needs its own thread under traveling.

Your idea was for someone to take it on trips and then to pass it on to another person to carry on the tradition. Here's RugbyMatt at ??? Ohana by the Lake.

Since he has taken it as far as Germany??? he is shown here passing it on to
Princes Pupule. Where it will travel too next is any ones guess. Good job Matt.

Mr. Tiki had quite the 4th of July adventure here in Texas.

Mr. Tiki started his day checking out the Caldwell County Courthouse....

& then went to visit Texas' resident beaver - Buck-ee:

Mr. Tiki has had a very eventful past week in a half!

First stop, Chicago, followed by Milwaukee, WI. Sadly, I had a camera memory card FAIL for that portion of the trip, so I have no actual photos to share :(

But - then he went to Vegas, new memory card in hand, & felt very much in his element hanging out with the tikis at Frankie's Tiki Room.

New map on page one - a little bigger with push pins, seems a little cleaner. There are lots of states Mr Tiki hasn't visited yet, I know we have active peeps in Arizona, Idaho, Ohio, and I'm sure many more :)

If you hosted Mr Tiki and your location doesn't have a pin, PM me.

I am very happy to say that today Mr. Tiki is on his way to his next surprise destination.

I did arrange for him to go safely into the hands of a TCer in one of the not-previously-visited states mentioned previously, so look for more on that from once he arrives :D

In the meantime, here are a couple farewell pictures of Mr. Tiki hanging with our tikis:
