M Murph Member SoCal Joined: Jul 11, 2006 Posts: 843	M Murph Posted posted on Thu, May 29, 2008 3:36 PM I see our neighbors to the north and south have put together some great crawls. but a search for one in our area didn't seem to show anything. Has one been done in the past? Would anyone be interested in a home bar tour in the Los Angeles area? [ Edited by: Murph 2008-05-29 15:36 ]

M Murph Member SoCal Joined: Jul 11, 2006 Posts: 843	M Murph Posted posted on Fri, May 30, 2008 10:22 AM Ok , I'll take the Tiki by the horns so to speak and get this tour rolling. I have a line on an open top double decker bus that can lug us around the tour. I need 4 home bars for a 6 hour tour on a Saturday evening in late July early August. If you would like to volunteer your home bar or nominate a friend's home bar send me a PM. For this first tour I would like to base it in the Los Angeles area to make the time travel between bars minimal. Though site seeing on double decker bus would be fun, I think it should be more about the home bars than the bus ride. This crawl should be a fun way to view and show off the tiki creativity that lurks unseen in the dens, basements, and backyards of some of our L.A. ohana.

It won't be perfect, but it will be functioning! Hi CheekyGirl, I'm shooting for the end of July/early August so you might not be ready by then but we need plenty of tour crawlers attending to make this work! As a side, if anyone wants to volunteer any mad skills that they think can help with the tour please let me know.

Sign us up for two crawlers - this is perfect timing as we are thinking of moving, and I need ideas for a home tiki lounge! Thanks!

SM Sparkle Mark Tiki Socialite Los Angeles, CA Joined: Jul 05, 2004 Posts: 301	SM Sparkle Mark Posted posted on Thu, Jun 5, 2008 9:45 PM As my better half said, after participating in Portland's NW Tiki Crawl we're hooked. There's nothing so thrilling as having a bus-load of 60 friends and strangers arrive at once and trying to get them all beveraged up within the first 5 minutes. I've perfected my recipe for Mai-Tai's for 60. So we'd be pleased to open our bar to the home tour in LA. Let us know the dates and we will confirm our availability.

SM Sparkle Mark Tiki Socialite Los Angeles, CA Joined: Jul 05, 2004 Posts: 301	SM Sparkle Mark Posted posted on Sun, Jun 8, 2008 7:20 PM M'kay, so how many folks are interested in attending a home bar tour in LA? How many home bars do we have in the valley? West side? Orange County? With gas heading over $5/gal we will need some cost effective tranportation. Perhaps Cruzan white Rum could be used to fuel a tourbus....or maybe that's what bacardi is for, it may be cheaper soon Best Mark

M Murph Member SoCal Joined: Jul 11, 2006 Posts: 843	M Murph Posted posted on Tue, Jun 10, 2008 1:21 PM OK! This looks like it is going to be for real!! Several of you have come on board to help (all with excellent ideas) Thanks! And several bar owners have expressed a desire to participate. Double Thanks! We've got a few details to work out so stay tuned! Still room for home bars and organizational help so if you would like to be part of the First Annual LA Tiki Home Bar Tour committee (will look great on your resume if you plan on running for political office) send me a PM. Mahalo, Murph

M Mongoloid Member Long Beach Joined: Apr 25, 2008 Posts: 590	M Mongoloid Posted posted on Wed, Jul 9, 2008 10:45 AM Did the plans for this completely shrivel up? This should really happen before the end of summer especially if the double decker bus is going to be the main mode of transportation. I threw out the idea of ending it with a sunset luau on the beach at my house. Aloha nui loa
