any Seattleites wanna hit the Sunset on the Monday night? I may be working till aroudnd 9 pm, but could come out for the first set. Too bad, no mai tais at the Sunset, but, like I need to be drinkin on a monday night after a double shift. hehehehehe
PEa

The Long Beach Swap Meet in the morning and Kukulele, the Maikai Gents and Petty Booka in the afternoon - now THAT is my kinda way to spend a Sunday! We'll definitely be there on the 21st - anybody else wanna make a day out of it? Velours?? Sabu? TraderPup?

'Pup - Please keep us posted as to the starting time - I don't want to miss a minute of this show!

Can't make the SF- but will be at the San Rafael show!

Drinks in Fairfax first?

The DawnTiki's are planning on attending the Sunday show in Long Beach with a DawnTikiTot in tow, hope to see some of you there too.

My dear Tiki Central friends,

I hate being the bearer of bad news, I really really really really do, however... The Long Beach show on the 21st has been cancelled. There were issues with the city and venue availability. The ladies, the Gents and the King are looking into alternative plans as we were all so looking forward to playing this gig. Anyone have a lead on an O.C. venue for that night? Hey, anyone here wanna have the most amazing private party and bring the whole lot of us to your home/bar/yacht club/miniature golf course/pool hall, etc? Drop us a line at [email protected] Mahalo for understanding.

Man, you people in Low Cal have got to strike at this opportunity. OK, here's what you're going to do:

EVERYONE TO BONG'S GARAGE! The Smokin' Menehune's will play as well. Bong will make Mai Tai's for everyone.

Bong, is this OK?

That's the spirit, Martiki! Another idea: Perhaps someone's workplace would like to have an extra special holiday party that night.? Well, have we got the entertainment for you! Mahalo.

-I. Grogg

The Spectacular East Indies Room would be available if Bong isn't up for it....!

Any new news on this?

Sorry Dawn, but it's been called off.

No one is going to put something together??? :cry: I guess the Knitting Factory is it then.

We done gave it our best shot. Petty Booka will be playing that night in San Luis Obispo on their way up to the Santa Cruz Uke Fest. The King and the Gents may still pull off a Holiday Spectacular, though. Keep your eyes peeled in the Events forum.

They're reviewed in the Portland Mercury this very week! http://www.portlandmercury.com/current/music.html

show tonight? Tiki riv, were you there? Do ya wear glasses?

sweetpea, I didn't see your earlier post about going to the Sunset tonight until just now... darn ! We went to the earlier event in store at Sonic Boom. We should have gone to the Sunset, too...they were great ! Sorry we missed you, next time let's plan to meet up.

At tonight's San Rafael show, PB goes on first according to the folks at 4th street tavern, so get there early.

Sorry I couldn't make the San Rafael Show in the end. On Tuesday I hella geeked-out and did the Rings Trilogy thing for 12 hours, got home at four, got up at 7 and went to work, then to office Xmas party, then up again at 5 to go to the valley all day for biz and got home at 8pm. So a little too zonked out. Good show?

They were fantastic. Here's some pics:

And movies! Forgive the quality as these were shot with my little Canon S400 "still" camera (roughly 1 to 2 megs each):

Can't wait to see them again on Tuesday.
