Pages: 1 10 replies

I know what you're thinking. Why hasn't the King posted info about Tiki Taix III yet??? (It's too big!) I think it may still be too early to post....so look for more details tomorrow, below this line. There will only be 1 Tiki Taix III.

Tiki Taix is going International!!
In August of 2003, Poly Pop had a 1 year birthday luau for lovely, little Sydney. Who would have dreamed that anyone would want to be a party crasher at a 1 year olds birthday party...well THEY’RE BACK! All the way from Nevers, France we dedicate this episode of Tiki Taix to THE PARTYCRASHERS Vincent and Katell “Mr. and Mrs. TikiFrog” who will be presiding over tonights festivities. Please welcome them back to paradise with a mai tai at Tiki Taix!

Friday April 30th, 10PM. No Cover

Check out the debut performance of the Internationally unclaimed “Three Tiki Tenors” live!

AND!

Witness November 11th, 2001, Elks Lodge Wai Ki Ki. This is never before seen footage of the final public appearance of legendary vibes master Arthur Lyman as he reunites for the first time in 40 years with Martin Denny to perform their hit “Quiet Village” one last time. Sitting in are members of the band Colon featuring Lopaka Colon, son of Auggie Colon, and ukulele master Jake Shimabukuro.

ALSO!

"The Mai Kai Gents featuring The Mysterious Miss Mauna Loa" will meet you at the Elks Lodge in “Wai Ki Ki” and bring you back to Tiki Taix.

PLUS!

Living Legend Bill Tapia the 96 year old Hawaiian ukulele player joined us in concert for last months Tiki Taix II. Six days later you may have seen his life story in the LA Times.

TIKI soul bro # 1

So THAT'S what he was doing while in Europe (the sideburns and eyebrows give it away)!

Phine Photos! King Kukulele caught in the act (caught in the shtick is more like it!). Can't wait for tonight, it's really gonna be something super. By the way... The Maikai Gents will be selling our new playful-swayful stickers tonight at Tiki Taix. They make fine stocking stuffers, uke case decor or even cocktail coasters(if laminated) AND 100% of the proceeds go to fund our upcoming recording. Fun stuff! See you tonight.

-GROGG!

Holy Mackerel,
Those are some eyebrows. Well ChikiTiki you have finally resorted to posting blackmail pictures! That was a wonderful evening at the Brand Spanking New Berlin Trader Vics, well its actually not Brand New but it still is Spanking New...didn't you get spanked there Chiki? Oh yeah about those Mai Kai gent stickers, I love them, I actually am a big fan of the artwork of the inimitable (whatever that means) Kevin Kidney, and as soon as I get my new Ukulele case this wonderful artwork is going to be the first sticker on it. My old case is tattered and torn but has a million storys to tell. Viva la MKG's and viva la KK...Kevin Kidney that is!

I had it all backwards -- the best bed is the one that's stumbling distance from Tiki-Ti, or the Mai Kai, or the Lagoon Room, or the Alibi, or the Kon Tiki, or...
Critiki
