It's pretty close to where I live, I can ride my bike. Are the drinks any good? We'll find out on Saturday. :) It's just a short walk from the Warehouse.

Well Eric, now that you're a grown man, you can order a regular pina colada and a rob roy. :) A Rob Roy is a fine upgrade to a Roy Rogers (if the bartender can make it!). However, I think there needs to be an official adult version of a Roy Rogers--maybe call it either a Lee Marvin or a Lee Van Cleef. Caltiki Brent

J JOHN-O Tiki Socialite Dogtown, USA Joined: May 16, 2008 Posts: 2721	J JOHN-O Posted posted on 05/01/2011 Thanks to everyone who participated. It was a successful voyage !! We even made it to Pieces of Eight, um I mean Shanghai Red's. (Although they wouldn't play the Paul Page I brought :() And I'm glad Crazy Al wasn't arrested. I was a little concerned after his hi-jinks at the (former) Marina Del Rey DTBC and then seeing LAPD waiting (for us?) at the Warehouse. :)

I must admit the Sheriff's squad car grabbed my attention at the Warehouse, particularly since I was hauling over a truckload of tipsy travelers in the bed of my truck!. I figured the Po Po were there because of Crazy Al going all Spiderman on the Marina Del Rey DTB. Or trying to steal the mini-sub from the harbor! DC
D Dustycajun Tiki Socialite Santa Barbara, CA Joined: Nov 16, 2007 Posts: 5298	D Dustycajun Posted posted on 05/01/2011 Another classic moment on the crawl. The thirsty party arrives at stop number 2 The Galley only to find the doors locked! John-O to the rescue. Open up says he. And the doors open. and in we go to take over The Galley Who wants a Mai Tai? John-O with a Mai Tai inspection. DC

C Chippy Member Sunny Southern California Joined: Jul 24, 2010 Posts: 284	C Chippy Posted posted on 05/02/2011 It looks like a great time was had by all. The word on the scanner was a gangly guy was crawling in an inappropriate location. Then there was something about homeland security. But I am glad no one had to call a bail bondsman or use a get lurid jail free card. I am looking forward to the next one, as I hope I can get the weekend off work. Great photos!!

He is a master planner and a born organizer, and made things go smoothly. It was a real blast! I'm now hoisting a virtual mai tai (the Galley's, not the Warehouse's) to John-O! Caltiki Brent

Great photos, Cap Falernum!

So I made it my mission to excavate some of these elements hidden under the light string jungle: There are some South Seas Belles: ...and evidence of forgotten pagan rituals: Original (Christian's Hut) Mutiny on the Bounty pieces... ...and Pacific War Veteran posters (as mentioned by John-O): Blowfish chandeliers... ...bar wisdom signs...

I have never attended an event like this. I just joined the forum so that I can learn more about the TIKI culture and such. It was so wonderful to meet such a diverse group of indivuals that were so warming and welcoming. I want to learn as much as I can about TIKI and would love to meet all of you again. I was the newcomer with her brother telescopes. If my smoke buddy is reading this, contact me. Hey Dexter, contact me so we can finish our discussion! I can't wait to do more of these crawls. :) Thanks, to the man that sponsored this.

You guys do better justice to the dark interiors than my novice "point and shoot" flash would. What I really want to see however, is that property manager yelling at Crazy Al as he was running around on the roof of the MDR Don's UFO building. Surely someone got a shot of that. :) Also I'm looking forward to the Bigbro's urban archeology take on the Warehouse and especially Shanghai Red's.

Did the Galley indeed start life on the end of Santa Monica pier, then relocate to solid land in Ocean Park? Or is that just a hyperbolic phrase? If it did relocate, what year did that take place?

[ Edited by: murph 2011-05-02 21:38 ] Well, considering we weren't all that far away from Westwood Memorial Park (Marilyn Monroe), Holy Cross Cemetery (Bela Lugosi, Bing Crosby) and Hillside Memorial Park (Al Jolson, Jack Benny, George Burns), that might indeed be a fun crawl! Holy Cross has a grotto area near the graves of Bing "Waikiki Wedding" Crosby and Bela "Island of Lost Souls" Lugosi, which might even be semi-poly-pop (if you replace the Catholic statuary with Tikis).
