P pablus Tiki Socialite www.thecrazedmugs.com Joined: Jul 23, 2003 Posts: 2163	P pablus Posted posted on Tue, May 10, 2005 12:14 PM Are you ready? Haole Kats! Swing and sway to the sounds of one of the premier Hapa Haole bands anywhere. The Crazed Mugs! A new band, joining the Haole Kats!, playing originals that will astound and amaze along with terrific versions of Hawai'ian music. Fantastic Tiki Drinks! 3 Extra Large Bowls mixed by none other than Tiki Central's own pablus. Real Tikis! Outdoor fun! Good food! Sunday, May 22nd 3pm Clancy's Freaki Tiki Lounge ...just behind Clancy's on Cortez in Bradenton. 6.2 miles from this: The Crazed Mugs and possibly the Haole Kats will be setting up at this lovely beach location to play during the AM - getting a bit of sun and fun in before the show, it's next to the southernmost lifeguard stand on Coquina Key. Here's the best stage ever: Here is a map to Clancy's Freaki Tiki: http://www.mediacentraltampa.net/clancy/mapimage.jpg Here are a few shots of Clancy's Freaki Tiki: The Amber Love Goddess says ALOHA whilst sipping from a Freaki Tiki cup: Come on and join us for this Sunday frivolity. If we get enough folks - the management (who love Tiki Drinks) said they will make this a monthly event! All I know is one of the best beaches in Florida is just a few short miles away and we're making a day of it. Maybe we can talk Kanekila into making some of his famous brats at the beachside picnic area. See You There!!! ALOHA! [ Edited by: pablus on 2005-05-24 07:39 ]

It's going to be a very open and non-stressed day with some music, some food, and of course, a few choice libations mixed by non other than master mixologist, Pablus. Heck, if you're worried about it being a Sunday, then take Monday off work, in order to really relax by the beach, and then come out to the Freaki Tiki at Clancy's in Bradenton. Or, don't take off work, but at least come out for a fun Sunday afternoon of music. We'll have lots of weeki-waaki-woo! Kanekila [ Edited by: Kanekila on 2005-05-10 14:05 ]

Get out of Disney-ville for a bit, and come on over to the West Coast of the East Coast. Pablus is mixing up a few different kinds of nice libation, and of course, there are other beverage options available as well. It's gonna be fun!

I sure would like to come over and join the festivities. I'll check with my construction supervisor to see if she'll let me take a break from splitting bamboo. Sounds like a good time. KG

Saturdays out of town are always best for us... Sundays tend to get no's from him because its a "school-night". (Meaning, he has to work early the next day... etc.) But I will talk to him and see what he thinks! Even if we dont go, lets try to get together some other time soon! We would just love to see you again :) great big hugs! ~Lenore :D

Actually I miss the guy and maikainagirl. Maybe they hate us now. Tikilicious - you and Steve would add so much mana to the place it might explode. So - try and make it. Kaboom. KGeoff... you know. This music is... sublime.

So if she can be out by 1...hopefully...then we can be done there by 2:30-3... So is that the generally plan, to be at the Freaki Tiki by 3? Jason p.s. I hate weddings, which is why Nereia and I got married in Vegas...
P pablus Tiki Socialite www.thecrazedmugs.com Joined: Jul 23, 2003 Posts: 2163	P pablus Posted posted on Tue, May 17, 2005 1:01 PM We will show up at 3pm and start setting up. That means the Kats will do all of the heavy lifting while I mix drinks - ummmmmm..... yeah. Anyway - we'll start strumming 4 or so and play until sunset. It's a very relaxed atmosphere and the owners are fairly good friends who are looking forward to this quite a bit. The drink menu is Lapu Lapu, Mai Tai (with FRESH MINT) and Painkillers. I'm providing the mixers and they'll mix and sell you the rum at whatever they normally sell rum drinks for. Appletons and Blecchardi is the rum selection. That's fine by me. The Appletons anyway. No cover charge for this event btw. I'm thirsty already. My hands are aching to play.

Don't take lightly your place in history. Artists are always looking for the next thing while their minions are busy propigating their banked things. Call me "George Bailey."

You bastards! :>) Yo, Flounder man.... just got back to Safety Harbor from The Freaki Tiki. It's about 11:20pm. Whoa... GREAT freakin' time! We MIGHT be there again next Sunday. Not sure yet. I know the owners want us back, but my wife and I have a house full of guests (literally - 5) next week, so we're just not sure. We'll keep y'all posted, though. If we do, you'll have to make sure to make it down. It was a great time, to be sure. I'm sure some of the others will be posting pics soon! Take care.

Although it does feel better knowing the fence is up and people won't be stealing my reciprocating saw again, it would have been great to meet some Tampa Bay TC'ers finally! Here's to next time! :drink:

Yes, Haole Kats! - Along with myself and perhaps Ona Koka - will be strumming and drumming and mixing up a few tropical libations at the Freaki Tiki THIS Sunday beginning at 4pm. It was just too much fun for the owners to take it all in at once - so they re-booked. Aloha.

K Kailuageoff Member Honolulu Lounge,Lewes, DE Joined: Mar 27, 2002 Posts: 1506	K Kailuageoff Posted posted on Tue, May 31, 2005 8:54 AM Aloha, Just want to say Marian and I had a great time in Bradenton on Sunday. We enjoyed meeting and listening to Josh, Joe and TJ of the Haole Cats, and our buddy Pablus was in rare form strumming with the band and singing his tunes, Hukilau Hurricane and My Mug Collection. The drinks were delicious and powerful and the outdoor bar was laid back and comfortable (but hot). Overall a quality tiki afternoon with Pablus, his Amber Love Goddess and the Cats. I'll post some pics later. Mahalo. KG PS: Not to take away from any of the other Hawaiian music groups that have perfomed at various tiki gigs I've been to, but the Haole Cats come closest to capturing the sound and spirit of the old hapa haole classics in my humble opinion. They're CD is a must-have. [ Edited by: Kailuageoff on 2005-05-31 10:26 ]

"Aloha" my new friends !!!!

K Kailuageoff Member Honolulu Lounge,Lewes, DE Joined: Mar 27, 2002 Posts: 1506	K Kailuageoff Posted posted on Thu, Jun 2, 2005 4:03 AM Here are few snaps from last week. TJ taking a break from his awesome slides on the steel the guitar to play bass, and Joe laying down some percussion. Josh and Pablus on the ukes. The audience is delighted. Mixing up some Chief Lapu-Lapu's. In this photo we can plainly see that tiki drinks play a vital role in keeping one's youthful good looks. The gentleman to Pablus' left is a beer drinker, while our host prefers fruity rum cocktails. An afternoon of good Hawaiian music, Mai-Tai's and cigars leads to a spontaneous outburst of fraternal affection. Aloha. KG
K Kanekila Member Safety Harbor, FL Joined: Aug 07, 2004 Posts: 185	K Kanekila Posted posted on Thu, Jun 2, 2005 6:10 PM Aloha Kidz! Hey KG, it was great to meet you and Marian(sp?) and mahalo for the kind words. It was great to see you two dancing, too. Nice pics! Hope we get to do it again really soon. I'm not sure, but we may try to do something before our trip to Chicago, but may have to work it for after we get back. We'll be sure to post something here about it either way. Here's a pic of Josh, Joe and I getting into a surf tune of some kind, and another angle with Pablus digging it, and KG doing a little surfin' hisownself. Mahalo again, and thanks to everyone for making it down. Also, big thank yous to Pablus again for turning us on to this gig!
