Tiki Caliente 6 Room Crawl

Tiki Caliente 6 Room Crawl/Room Party Headquarters Event is May 15-18 2014 in Palm Springs
As of 5/1/14 all room crawl time slots are full. We are maxed out with 14 total rooms to hit up on Friday and Saturday.

As always, the room crawls are not an official part of the event for many reasons. However, they are very popular and a great way to meet people in our community, enjoy many great cocktails, decked out rooms and great music. You do need a wristband to attend the crawl.

The crew of the Zen Tiki Lounge podcast are delighted to organize the Tiki Caliente room crawl. In addition to following this thread you can listen to ZTL podcast for details. http://www.zentikilounge.com or on iTunes

Room Crawl: Short room events, usually about 30-60 minutes. Hosts invite Crawlers into their rooms to try their cocktails. Some rooms offer a drink and some go beyond and decorate their room and even include music and or a band. There are no rules.

Room Parties: These are usually the rooms that keep their door open a little longer, decor and music are more likely, but there are no rules. Themed rooms are often some of the best.

Hosts: Whether you are hosting again or trying it for the first time, you are opening up your room to Crawlers to have a good time and enjoy whatever kind of experience you want to offer. Don’t worry about having to out do anyone else. Just have fun. You can host a Room Crawl or a Room Party. Hosting a room does not mean you have to spend a ton of money. You can choose a short time slot and make as much drink as you want. It is recommended that you make a batch of your drink(s) so that you can pour quickly and keep the lines moving.

Crawlers: You are the GUESTS attending the room crawls and room parties. All Tiki Caliente paid (wristbands) guests are welcome to participate but you should sign up by replying to this thread so the hosts have an idea of how many to plan for. It is expected that you behave yourselves and lend to the festive atmosphere without causing trouble. You will want to have small bills handy, as tipping the bartenders in the rooms is HIGHLY encouraged because the hosts are not charging you for drinks and have spent a good sum of their own cash. Bartenders do not like being stiffed.

Crawls will occur on Friday evening, and all day Saturday. We limit time slots so that guests can experience as much of the live music and room events as possible. [email protected]

Yes! There are prizes for participating hosts in the following categories: 1. Overall best cocktail. 2. Overall best room party. 3. Best theme/decor. Prizes will be awarded on Sunday at the event. Judges are the hosts of the Zen Tiki Lounge podcast and Lead Bartender Kelly Merrell of Trader Sam’s.

Need Help? Ask Sunshine Tiki. In addition to hosting the Zen Tiki Lounge podcast, Sunshine has been hosting room crawls and room parties for most of the past decade. Maybe you have been to one of our ZTL room parties at Tiki Caliente, Taboo, Mojave Oasis or Tiki Oasis. Please feel free to email [email protected] for specific questions you don’t want to post on the thread. Im happy to offer tips on planning your room event, how to mass produce your drinks, music suggestions etc.

See full list of rooms and times below, or just look for the full roster posted around the hotel.

A nice set of rocks glasses to snag at TC6. Don't forget to ask bartenders for recipes to the drinks you like during the room crawl. Not everyone gives out the recipe, but many do. Then you will have plenty of cocktails to put in your new glasses.

Two more for the room crawl for Saturday.

Jason Lee & the R.I.P. tides will be crawling ! Our newer drummer doesn't even know what crawling is so we cant wait to enjoy the Delicious Treats !

The room parties are a very proud and historic non-official part of Tiki Caliente.
Please remember that you need a wristband to enjoy these parties and a security guard will be at the rooms entrance to ensure a wristband and good attitude are being displayed by the guest. Otherwise they can and will refuse you.

Enjoy responsibly and remember to Tip your host/bartenders.

Cheers,
W
