MONDO Menudo!!

Hey Dr. Z, can you e-mail me what to get exact? And, where to get it? Names etc.? You should bottle it and sell/trade it out to us. I need a batch for MONDO Tiki! (5 nights worth!)

Mucho Mahalo-Bamboo Ben's

Just got back from Vegas tonight and be warned to check the weather before you head up there... it was downright chilly cold at night. bring sweaters - or just plan on drinking alot :)

I'll opt for the latter, sweaters make me look fat.
I'm gonna need a batch of that too Doc.

The Tropicana has rooms for $95 a night on Friday and Saturday according to their website.

I purchased Dr.Z's Remedy the other day and it works! Now I just need to remember to swallow it MONDO TIKI NIGHT before bed!!! MONDO is days away! Yee-Haa!!!

If anyone wants to go to any bars that aren't Taboo Cove here's my recommendations. You may find me at any of these watering holes throughout the weekend (on Thursday night for sure and other nights only if I can tear myself away from the bands at the Gold Coast), but you won't find me at Taboo Cove.

(warning: current existance of these bars unknown)

Sky Lounge at the polo towers (swanky old-style lounge with great views):

Pogo's Tavern, especially on Friday nights for seeing big band jazz veterans:

The Dispensary Lounge, complete with water wheel:

The Peppermill Lounge for 70s porn fantasies:

Algiers Cocktail Lounge, 2845 Las Vegas Blvd. S., 735-3311 The googiest bar in town.

Atomic Liquor Store, 917 Fremont St., 384-7371. Dive in seedy neighborhood with great neon sign and pretty good CD jukebox.

The Double Down Saloon, near the Hard Rock:

Champagne's Cafe, classic lounge w/ 45 jukebox and red flocked wallpaper:

For anyone who is on the fence about attending Mondo Tiki... Here's something to sweeten the pot.
Sven Kirsten will be gracing us as a special guest performer with Cherry Capri and the Thurston Howlies as the honorary 'bird caller' during their rendition of "Quiet Village."
This will truly be an historical occasion that should not be missed...
Also sitting in with the band will be Crazy Al (from the band, Ape) and Iuka Grogg from the Mai Kai Gents!

That's gonna be quite a show. What is the most recient plan for Friday night? Are we still doing the Toboo Cove thing?

!MONDO!

HH

Ok so who's all gonna be at the cove friday night? and what time ?

Me. 8-ish?

I can't wait to get out there. I will definately be at the Cove with the elusive Lapu Rocker, and my business partner Kika around the same time as Pop. Hula, we gotta make sure my lady friend is bartending again. That worked out pretty well last time. I loved that green drink with the schwazz at the bottom. What was that called?

We really have to try to get them to get the music right this time. Rage Against the Machine and Missy da Misdamenor Elliot just doesn't set the mood right.

C'mon, Mondo is the same weekend as Viva! Can't they see what the people want!
.....sorry, I think I need to lay down. I'm way too stoked about this weekend.

I am leaving by car from Chicago in about 5 minutes... three day road-trip with plenty of thriftin', road-side attractions, and sleepin' in the car awaits... and then I will see you all in Vegas, for the bus tour, on Friday, and the MONDO on Saturday!

Rockin'.

Reverend Boo--

Glad to hear the 'prescription' worked for you - The Good Doctor would NEVER steer you wrong! For those of you who have yet to try it out, take the Reverend's testimony: "It works!"
It's posted somewhere in the 'Hangovers' thread, but for all of you headin' to MONDO (especially those of you who'll be trying to get to church for Easter...), here it is:

3 'Super B-Complex' tablets (I use 'Nature Made' brand in the big-ass jar from Costco)
3 'Soya Lecithin' softgels (again 'Nature Made' brand from Costco)
3 aspirin 325mg (I use 'Kirkland Lite Coat' the Cosco house brand)

I don't think the brand name is all that important, but just remember to take this 'cocktail' with a big glass of water BEFORE you go to bed, and the next day, you'll swear BY it (not AT it!)

Oh, and things may be a little, uh, 'day-glo' the next morning too...

To all MONDO attendees: HAVE TOO MUCH FUN AND TAKE LOTS OF PICTURES!!

And to those that aren't going, take consolation in the fact that OASIS is only 24 days away...

I'm ready for MONDO MONDO......I'm scared, but I'm ready. Bring it Vegas.

Bright light city gonna set my soul
Gonna set my soul on fire
Got a whole lot of money that's ready to burn,
So get those stakes up higher
There's a thousand pretty women waitin' out there
And they're all livin' devil may care
And I'm just the devil with love to spare

....c'mon, you know how it goes!

HH

MONDO!

MONDO!

Yeah Lucky~

Did you not know that "Taking Care of Business" was Elvis' motto?

You can even buy your own TCB jewelry!

ElvisCadisDadis

I better know that. I play guitar and sing in a rockabilly band.

no no no.... SCD let go of business.

well, it's 1 for the money - 2 for the show
jump in the caddy and go cat go.

but don't you, miss out on Mondo Tiki!

Damn & double damn, looks like I'm not gonna be able to make it to MONDO this weekend for reasons I don't even want to go into. So while all you T.C. revellers are sipping mai tais and swaying in the desert breeze to exotic island rhythms I'll be biting the ears off my chocolate easter bunny. Hope to see plenty of pics next week though, so don't ferget to pack the camera (and Doctor Z's hangover remedy).

S

Hey Joey,

We can't make it either, so we'll just have to wait for Virtual Mondo ex post facto.

Glad we're not the only ones staying at home chompin' on chocolate bunnies!

Happy Mondo!

E

I'll be there with my lovely wahine Lika. I'll certainly try the Doctor's recipe, if it doesn't cure the hang over It may just bring you luck at the tables.

The only easter chocolate I'll be having will be a chocolate mud slide (can that be possible?)
Viva las Tiki!!!

For another hangover remedy, my friend Nurse Trixie recommends 2 charcoal capsules (you can buy 'em at Savon or your local drugstore) and a glass of Miracle Water or Pedialyte before going to sleep. Atomic Cocktail swears by it.

(Just make sure you don't take the charcoal capsules within 2 hours of any meds you might be taking as it will absorb it.)

see ya dere, Bruddahs!

I'm packin' conch.

AlRIGHTY THEN! Last minute stuff to do (coughing out sawdust)then it's off to LV. We are gonna have some fun peeps. We will be sellin some new stuff. Women's tiki matchbook art T's and some cool TIKI HIPSTER FLASKS(logo/label art by Mary Margaret). I think we will have some high-detail tiki pendants also. Drive or fly safe people.

......How I wish that there were more
Than the twenty-four hours in the day
'Cause even if there were forty more
I wouldn't sleep a minute away
Oh, there's black jack and poker and the roulette wheel
A fortune won and lost on ev'ry deal
All you need's a strong heart and a nerve of steel....

I can't make it to Mondo this weekend, but my buddy Todd Schlosser will be there -- be sure you give him some serious TC love for me, willya?

I'll see all (well, most/some) of you at the Oasis in May. Have a mai tai for me in Vegas!

Hey SCD, I know that tune too unfortunately. Oh well, the dang ol air is too dry in vegas and there is no surf. Have fun anyway my steel nerved friends.
Chongolio

HR just lowered the Mondo admission to $15!! They waivered between $15/$20 and in some of the final inter-office stuff there was a reference to the $15 which made it out to the public so they're going w/$15!! Extra cocktails anyone!?

I'll take twelve, Holden.
Chonger, You're not exactly right. Howabout the wave pool at Mandalay Bay? Not exactly Rincon but you take what you can get.

oh yeah.... to the bridge....

Viva Las Vegas with you neon flashin'
And your one armbandits crashin'
All those hopes down the drain
Viva Las Vegas turnin' day into nighttime
Turnin' night into daytime
If you see it once
You'll never be the same again

:music: Daaamn! I can't go! :music:
:music: Daaamn! I can't go! :music:
:music: Daaamn! Daaaamn! I can't gooooooooo! :music:

.....I'm gonna keep on the run
I'm gonna have me some fun
If it costs me my very last dime
If I wind up broke up well
I'll always remember that I had a swingin' time
I'm gonna give it ev'rything I've got
Lady luck please let the dice stay hot
Let me shout a seven with ev'ry shot, so.....

Viva...... Las Vegas, Viva....... Las Vegas,
Viva........... Viva.......... Las Vegas

Thank you and remember the ten o'clock show is totally different from the seven o'clock show. Please don't forget to tip your waitresses. I'll see you all back here in three days with pictures. Good night.

Ladies and gentlemen, Spike has left the building!

Just completed the road trip from Maryland. Completely sureal!

Mike and I will see everyone tonight for the bus tour, and all day tomarrow- I'm already grinning ear to ear!

Tacky Techie Tiki Bar

:music: I can't go too! :music:
:music: So now I am blue! :music:
:music: Damn! Damn! Damn!!! :music:

:tiki:

For those short on cash , just a reminder that there is a PENNY slot machine with a tiki theme at the Mandalay Bay. Ask the attendants and they will help you find it. I won $26 dollars on it for a $5 bet! I really loved the sounds...now go out and WIN! I am stuck at home, and anxiously waiting to see all your pics.

Mondo Tiki attendee's can also reduce their cost by selling me their Hard Rock Mondo Tiki chips. E-mail me with your minimum sales price if you're interested: [email protected]
