T tiki_kiliki Member Birmingham, AL Joined: Apr 01, 2002 Posts: 1046	T tiki_kiliki Posted posted on Wed, Mar 2, 2005 9:48 AM Yes, Geoff - I'm settling in nicely when I get a chance. I travel so much with my new position that I play catch up each time I arrive back in Lauderdale, but it always helps to go to the Mai Kai to get grounded. Everyone will be estatic when we finally announce the details...it's so tough to not tell you! Soon though...very soon! Also, vendors, if you want to be placed by a particular vendor just let me know - I'd be happy to arrange that for you.

Both of them are 90% confirmed, and we'll be able to make announcements in the next week or so, hopefully. Christie and I were on the phone last night discussing details, and I think we both had to get off the phone before we peed our pants with excitement. Old-Skool Exotica fans will be pleased. More next week. PS - Boxcar wanted too much money, and Zamfir could not be located. Last I heard, he was performing for small groups of Inuit in Alaska, the only gig he could get.

VENDORS - very important. I sent an email to all vendors from last and previous years of Hukilau. You are being considered first for the limited vendor spacing in the main ballroom. I have only heard back from 4 of you. I already have a waiting list of new vendors so if you're wanting to return or are a new vendor wanting to participate please send an email to [email protected] - As soon as the site is live you'll be instructed how to pay for your space this year and will get a confirmation. I wanted to give those that have been with us before to have a chance first before I opened up the gates.

I'd like to go this year, but after the move and trying to start up a home business I don't think I can swing it, esply trying to do my own thing this September. Oh and Boxcar Willie lived in my old area of Tx (Red Oak), what did they do to honor him? They dediated a railroad bridge to him. I don't even think trains run on the bridge anymore. -one man aspiring to be everyone’s favorite unkle. http://www.unklejohn.com My Tiki Lounge http://unklejohn.suddenlaunch.com/index.cgi [ Edited by: Unkle John on 2005-03-16 12:12 ]

The auction is looking good this year with donations from Oceanic Arts, Bamboo Ben and Keigs to name a few. 50% of proceeds from the auction will go to Hanford Lemoore for Tiki Central expenses, 25% to a charity of my choice that will be announced at Hukilau and the remaining to event expenses. Just wait until you guys see the site - it will be up the first of April.

Great to hear the that you guys are tying the knot. Keep those great Tiki stories coming. I am still waiting to hear from you if you wrote the one we were talking about when we were stranded in the school after we were thrown out of the airport when it closed after Huki Lau 2004. You know, the one about the cursed mug? I really enjoyed reading your story about the Falls. If you are not familiar with Tiki Lee he is the King of Tiki Story writing ,be sure to contact him, his stories are the best and he has put together some from other TC'ers that are sure to please!

T tiki_kiliki Member Birmingham, AL Joined: Apr 01, 2002 Posts: 1046	T tiki_kiliki Posted posted on Fri, Apr 1, 2005 11:15 PM Ok, So I've been debating whether or not to announce who is going to be the main lineup this year until the website is up - but I can't wait any longer!! Robert Drasnin - will debut his new Exotica material in more than 40 years at this years Hukilau! Yma Sumac - we are not positively sure that she is attending but they have announced it on her website! Waitiki - the boys from Boston will actually back up Robert Drasnin and play their own set - ending with a call from the crowd of anyone that would like to join a jam session on stage! Calling all uke's! Tongo-Hiti from Atlanta and the gals from Dames A'Flame! Slip and the Spinouts from the South Florida scene and a few more surprises - you'll have to wait for. A year to remember..... And next year is the 50th anniversary of the Mai Kai - imagine what can happen then! Yee-Haw & Aloha, The World of Tiki Kiliki [ Edited by: tiki_kiliki on 2005-04-01 23:17 ]

Sorry, Crawl-ers, you're missing out on the big news! For the rest of you, still faithfully surfing TC while our NorCal ohana drink San Francisco dry, it's all true: I have been on the phone endlessly over the past three months with Robert Drasnin and with Yma's manager. Drasnin is a done deal, and Yma is 95% confirmed for autographs and an on-stage Q and A session. Her manager thinks she MAY be up for performing 2 or 3 tunes, but that will not be decided until the 11th hour, depending on how she feels. Christie and I are so stoked to present this event for you guys - only six months to go!

Last year I brought some of my Lps to Hukilau to get autographed by Billy Mure - looks like I will have to do the same again this year! Vern [ Edited by: ikitnrev on 2005-04-03 01:20 ]

You just made my day with the announcement of Robert Drasnin at the Hukilau this year!! Great job Tiki Kaliki. Bob is actually a good friend of mine and he sends me a Christmas card every year. Any chance of me getting to introduce him this year? Let me know. I am TOTALLY psyched. He has been working on Voodoo 2 for the last couple of years and hopefully we will get to hear some of this new material. God, I love you guys!! Jeff
