Instead, as it was 3 years ago on Easter Sunday, I'm singing with a big (150-175) choir, tagging along with the 24 from our school as a singing chaperone. Sweet perk. This time we're doing Mozart's "Requiem" on the Sunday before Easter, Palm Sunday. Lots of very famous parts, used by film directors all the time to add oomph to a battle scene. I actually recommend you attend if you remotely like this kind of stuff. (Last time was John Rutter's Magnificat, which while lovely, isn't on anyone's greatest hits list yet.) So why am I posting here in Tiki Events? Because I get the night before off (March 31) and I want to see my NYCTC kin! Last time I did Otto's Shrunken Head, which I enjoyed very much. I'd like to see Waikiki Wally's this time. (On Friday, I get to see Spamalot!) I know it's better on a weeknight, but that's the way the coconut rolls. Waikiki Wally's: 99 (101?) East 2nd St in the East Village between 1st and A (Look for the neon palms and big Moai out front) Closest subway stop - the F or V at 2nd Ave Phone - (212) 673-8908 Time: 7:00 Sadly, Cinderella will have a curfew: 11:00, which precludes driving out to some cool Jersey spot. That's because I have to get back to see if the kids are back for their curfew! I also will have to be limited to one drink, maybe two. Top singing form is required, no matter how tasty Waitiki Wally's drinks are. Let me know if you can join me. I'm having some non-TC friends join me again too.

More of a real Tiki vibe, less of a rocker bar. I love the Donn Beach clay scuptures, the big mural, and the hula dancing hostess. Have fun on your trip! Glad someone finished Requiem for Mozart so you can sing it!

My degree is in Voice from Indiana University (yes - the "factory"). I'm jealous. I miss singing choral music. Anyway, enough of my whining. I just think that's cool that you're doing Mozart's Requiem at Carnegie. TJ

I'd like to meet Formikahini and any other TCers at Waikiki Wally's. Never been to Waikiki Wally's. I'll take the train to NYC and do some shopping. What time should we meet at Wally's?

I'll let you know that time as I learn of my schedule. Something evening-ish, probably dinner and drinks afterwards? Looking forward to meeting you (and khan-tiki-wahine?) and any others who jump on board :) F
K khan_tiki_mon Member Syracuse, NY Joined: Sep 15, 2006 Posts: 284	K khan_tiki_mon Posted posted on Mon, Feb 19, 2007 8:46 AM I don't know yet if my wife will come along. I just put her on a plane for Costa Rica about an hour ago. She's going to visit relatives for 2 weeks. She probably isn't going to want to travel again for awhile. What if I brought my daughter? What are the rules at Waikiki Wally's does anyone know? My daughter is 19 so not legal but could she hang out?

But call and confirm, and then please post the results; I have some younger friends (one 19 too!) also joining me and I'd love to make sure I told her correctly.

My husband & I were planning to go Wally’s on Sunday to celebrate my b-day (4/1 is the big 4-0 for me), but we need to push our plans up a day. So, if you’re up for meeting new folks, let us know (drop me a PM). Oh, and very sad news about Wally-bird: someone broke into the Plexiglas enclosure and stole him! We found this out last week. Poor thing, this just breaks my heart. Gina & Damian

Otto's was cool, but the Zombie I had was pretty bad (just like you'd get in any chinese restaurant - pretty much pineapple juice and rum). Mayve this was the particlar bar-tender. Decor is cool, but you need the good drinks to back it up! Looking forward to trying out Wally's... We need a Tiki-ti in NY!!!
LM leisure master Tiki Socialite The exotic village, NYC Joined: Mar 24, 2007 Posts: 446	LM leisure master Posted posted on Thu, Jan 31, 2008 9:24 AM Nicole and I will be there for sure! It will be great to meet up! BTW, did they change the name back or something? Last time I was there (about 2 months or so) it was changed to "Wally's Pacific Grill" or something like that. Also, the place was packed with kids with loud crappy music playing (like techno) and the young "cool" bartenders were sure to roll their eyes everytime you ordered something other than a beer or rum & coke. The inside looked the same, but we were 2 drinks and gone that night. And not 2 good drinks. Sorry to be a downer, but just lettin' ya know what happened.

I won't know until about a week before if I have to work that night or not, but even if so could still meet you all about 9ish. I wish the drinks there were better, but the decor is a lot of fun. That's great about Carnegie Hall! Aloha Kiki and Fang (David)
