Uh oh -- I thought this was going to be Friday, April 9, but your website says April 10 -- if it's April 10, I may not be able to make it after all, my flight leaves that morning. The woman handling my reservations hasn't gotten back to me yet, so it may not have been purchased yet, I may be able to change it, but I'd have to tell her pronto -- is it Friday April 9, or Saturday April 10?

-sounds like a blast! Seems like the Mgt. at Vic's may be opening their eyes a bit. See you soon!

Yes, Humu as the webpage says the event is on the 10th. Sven and I wanted to combine our wits and have one evening of Tiki! Hope you can change your plans.

Absolutely I will be there and have spread the word, too. Perfect timing, as I'll be flying in on the 10th, too.
Can't wait!

Aloha!

My wife and I are planning on coming up from Florida... Do we need reservations or anything for the evening?

Thanks,

I can't speaf with authority, but if the place gets full before you arrive, the only way you'll get in is with a dinner reservation. If you intend to eat dinner there, go ahead and make the reservation and then you'll be sure to get in, even if 350 people arrive before you do...

T
tiki_kiliki posted on 03/22/2004

You are more than welcome to make reservations for dinner. The book signing will kick off the evening at 6:00 until 8:00 and the DJ I have lined up will be playin' records until 9:00 where Tongo-hiti will hit the stage.

I'm expecting a huge crowd so get there early for dinner if you can.

You can email me directly if you should have any questions! Hope to see you there!

Ben- Just been to the Hale! What a fine mess you made there... That place was a perfect vintage "Chateau" style establishment! And you have to go and plaster bamboo and rattan and stuff all over the little horsey murals! Tiz Tiz!

Yah! That is the vay ve chastice in the fatherland!
Come to think of it, we should make that the standard punishment for any Tiki style offenders! We will use the UNPADDED softcover off course.

Let's have a warm round of applause for Tiki Kiliki! Now, let's hear it for TONGO HITI- didn't they sound GREAT (everybody, sing along now- "Tiny Bubbles...")!?!
Swanky, your daughter's a sweetheart- hope she enjoyed herself at Vic's. Good Lord, did you see Joel in action? He was a constant blur. Great work Joel, hope you raked in the tips. To anyone I chatted up AFTER my last navy Grog- my humble apologies. And, please, anybody, help me find my shoes so that I can walk to the store for some aspirin...I'd say a great time was had by all at the first of Atlanta's Tiki Torch Nights.

Aloha Gang,

I was very sorry that I missed this event. I will not miss the next one.

TK, BRAVO! it looks like this was a large time. I can't wait until your feet touch the sand of The Hale Tiki again.

Sven looked like he had a grand time and it must feel good to be surrounded by people that admire his work.

See you all soon,

BtB

Man, I am back in LA, with a total FAT HEAD, and it's not from the libations, but from all the positive feedback all weekend!

First I am spending a great afternoon and evening at the Hale Tiki, being regaled with stories by Brad on how the BOT inspired it, and the next night the Tiki Torch revellers at Trader Vic's Atlanta fill me with more love. TWO couples even told me the BOT changed their lives! Almost a little scary, but also a very rewarding experience! I will be known as "Tiki Svengali" from now on!

Southern hospitality at it's best. Thank you, Kiliki!

Not recommended.

Stop yourself after 6 or so.
