Thank You for posting the prices Al..this helps me budget accordingly!
See you at Bahooka tomorrow night.

You wouldnt know it to look at him but Al is the hardest working carver in the tiki world putting out quality products . Hes like the James Brown of tiki . His name alone brings them in and your never dissappointed in the work. I remember at Tiki Oasis , Al asked me if I had a hook knife because he wanted to fix a tiki for a previous customer . He did it right there on the spot to keep his customer happy and it shows his dedication . Congrats Al on your show. This guy has no backup job . Its all tiki for YOU . Support the guy .

were goin the Fab Four ,gonna bring the kids just goin for dinner & a Drink or two and pop in on AL & check it out for a bit .

We missed the Lighting Ceremony and Tikiyaki Orchestra, but we did get to see the Hula Girls band. It was great hearing the old Rockabilly version of the Smoking Menehunes.

Here's a video on Youtube.

Crazy Al's mugs were awesome, and the new menu at the Bahooka was pretty good too!

I'll post more photos later on.

Another great night of tiki, music, libations and Crazy Al's work, hosted at The Bahooka! The Hula Girls and Tikiayki Orchestra were playing perfectly, and help set the mood for the evening. As always, Crazy Al's work just blew me away.

The place was packed with Tiki Ohana.

We started the night off with a few cocktails.

I wish I had the funds to buy everything that was on display.

Everyone made their way behind Bahooka for the lighting ceremony.

Offerings were made, and #12 was lit to keep the fires burning where they belong.

Fire-enhanced gyrations by Dancing Tehani followed.

After the fire dancing, everyone got a chance to take some quick pictures with #12 alight.

I had a blast last night, and it was great getting to talk with everyone.

Yea it was great gettin out havin some kool food & drinks seein everyone & checkin out AL.S stuff .Mandy realy enjoyed the Fire dancers . Great Evening .

[ Edited by: Kiki von Tiki 2008-10-21 23:38 ]

Awesome party C-Al! Thanks for inviting us! It was great to see Tehani again, doing her fire poi-balls!! Scary stuff!
Afterwards as I was packing up my gear(we had to cut out early for another gig) I was rewarded with the romantic, haunting, nostaligic and exotic strains of the always excellent Tikiyaki orchestra! Damn, those guys are simply the best there is. Jonpaul's bass playing just kills. Squid, again, never needs an additional percussionist. Marty Lush...great picture of him "in the moment". The keyboard player, and Jim, all I can say is "wow"!! Can't wait for the new CD!!

Al & Friends -

Thank You for a terrific evening, I had a cozy time last Saturday night at Bahooka. Al, you were/are great; Bouncing from one group to the next but very approachable at any given moment...a consummate host towards everyone.

Cheers! must be granted all around for everyone who contributed time and effort to pull this off - I really appreciate all the hard work that this demanded. Same goes to the staff of Bahooka. I have never been to the restaurant when it was so busy, and I had no trouble with the service.
I'm lucky to live in So. Cal with such hi-tone tiki around me.

My friend Melany, who had never been to a tiki event before, stated in the car on the way home that night: " What a comfortable group of people..I feel like I've known everyone for years".

'nuff said.

Yeah thank you C'Al you rock!! Thank you for putting this shindig on. I really needed a night out with all of my friends and some great tunez!! Seeing all of your work together is beautiful and overwhelming at the same time. I am looking forward to seeing what you come up with next. Good Tymes!!

Great Night !

Props :

C'Al - man of the hour. Thanx for letting us be a part of this event. With the Kona gig and now this, I think the combination of Crazy Al and Tikiyaki makes for a great evening. AMAZING mugs and Tikis. I'm still obsessing over those 2 4 ft tikis that were outside. Man, they look like they came out of some 50 yr old restaurant...really classic. And those lava mugs....what can I say ? Thanx man. So, What are we doin next ?

Hula Girls - Man I dig it ! Thanx for a great set. The combination of rockabilly, surf and Hawaiian Swing is a nice one. Let's do some more shows.

Tehani - Was she great or what ?

Bahooka - OK, let me just say that the staff at this place is amazing. The were actually taking drink orders from people in the parking lot ! These people are on it, and REALLY nice. They let us do whatever we wanted, and I can't tell you how many times I was asked if I wanted my soda refilled....this is starting from about 3 in the afternoon ! The managment at "that other place" we play at needs to come to Bahooka and get schooled on how to run an an event like this. Bravo!

One thing I learned - The Brady Bunch Tiki I was wearing really IS Taboo ! My pedalboard stopped working, even though I had it fixed during soundcheck. SO my Mojo was a little off because of it. I hope no one noticed. All I can say to that is....doodle-oodle-ooooh!

Well, I sure had a great time. Thanx to everyone who made it out, and to the rest of the Yakis' for a great set.

One thing I noticed was the extreme friendliness of the staff. I had read bad reviews on the food on some other sites, but as friendly as they are, they got my business for life. The female bartender was one of the nicest, friendliest people I have met in that kind of position. Nothing was a problem for her, even though she was busy. A second guy behind the bar also kept on asking me "You been taken care of yet?" I was totally impressed. It's like they want your business, and want to be helpful and friendly.

Not to totally knock Kona, but they have had some really rude staff there in the past. Especially one shaved headed bartender, who has the worst attitude. It is the same attitude you would expect to find in some trendy hollywood club. I don't like it.

Great art,mugs,
great tunes, sorry I missed Hula girls, and lighting ceremony, but I was a bit detained waiting for carpool partner, :roll:
Great people,frineds,
good times indeed.

Now, call me negative Ned,
but may I point out a few down sides?
I noticed a lot of people leaving as I got there.
what no Love for Tikiyaki? thought that was kinda rude.
The Florescent lights that were on, kinda killed the vibe for me.
and I only had cheese sticks, but I heard from a few diff, people that the ribs were not so good, and they had a bad experience with them.

other than that, I had a great time, just wish I could have been there from 6 pm on, not 9:10 :(

Jeff(bigtikidude)

Not at all. It was totally packed for the TO. All the people that were outside (probably over 100) for the fire ceremony came inside right after. What you probably saw leaving were the regular customers, not related to TC.

I had the ribs and I thought they were great. So was the baked Yam...

I'm with Lucas on the wait staff...they were amazing, polite and very attentive !

As far as people leaving before us, if they did, maybe it was because we just played last month and saw us already, but the room seemed pretty full...

Also, I think these shows are better when people can sit and watch. If we play there again, we will have tables and seating for everyone. I think it's more condusive to the exotica style...it's dinner/lounge music, and people wannt to relax,drink,eat and socialize.

Anyway, it was about Al this night anyway. We were just there to add some musical ambiance.

Jim,
you were lucky then, I heard that the ribs made some bellies rumble,etc..

yes it was just last month you played, but I hope its not a fact of,
show up, buy mug, and leave.
your right there was people there when you played, but I saw some TC people I know leaving as I got there. oh well, such is life.

and yeah seating would be nice, standing got old quick.
my friend Kristena and I grabbed the closest table to the back room, and we were able to hear and eat, very nice.

hate to be a complainer, but just pointing out a few things.
Jeff(bigtikidude)

Al, that was a super show. We love your stuff!
I would post a few pictures but haven't figured out how to do so.

Hula Girls and Tikiyaki Orchestra sounded great, fire dancing was great, Crazy Al's work is AMAZING.

This was our first trip to Bahooka, and I agree, the staff is wonderful. Our waiter was really nice and the host who gave me directions (got lost when we got off the fwy) was really sweet as well. My 2-year-old loved the fish in the tanks all over the place. We'll definitely be back....
but I have to say the food was not so hot. And the kids menu was appalling - it's all fried food!
(In any case it was a far cry from the last tiki establishment that we visited... such a horrible experience that we left before we even got to to try the food!)
I want to end this on a positive note because it was, after all, a good night - so I'm just going to say once again that the staff there made it a fabulous experience - no one said a thing about bringing drinks into the parking lot, and I think they were serving drinks out there as well? And I loved the flaming beverages - fire codes be damned! In a world where we have more and more rules and regulations constantly imposed upon us, it was refreshing to be able to relax and enjoy the evening without stressing about the stupid little things that often seem to get in the way of having a good time.

Thanks for a fabulous evening!

I think it's one of those places like Rainforest Cafe or Blue Bayou, where you go for the ambience but don't expect the food to be super great! Still, they were totally cool about the outside drinking and whatnot, and again, just fabulous, awesome service.
Plus, the fish in the walls were great. Especially the fat one with the tiki lips! He (or she) and I made friends.

C-Al's artwork, the reason we were all there. It's fresh and exciting. Truly professional work coming from a sweet, Humble guy.

Bad ribs? Maybe I have a cast iron gut... no problems here consuming the nui ribs.

I had a hard time after 1-Grenade, 1-Gold Cup, and 1-Zombie (what's with the red wine in it??)

have you guys seen the fish the sleeps upside down?

Where the Hell did that fish get MY sign?

Lots of fun on Saturday night...
I want to thank Al, again, for having the Hula Girls to play his art show. Amazing mugs and carvings... Such detail in them...
I also want to thank the Tikiyaki Orchestra for letting us play before them. We're looking forward to playing more shows with them. Just a super talented band.
Great to see all of my old friends, it's been a while since I've been getting out to tiki events. Looks like this band will be getting me out more and more. Hopefully we'll have more shows lined up soon.

If you missed the event, here's a quick video of us doing an instrumental with Crazy Al on his coconuts... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TM_9ELhEOC8

Man...??? i originally asked the Smokin' Menehunes to play this show long long ago... then when the time came, Bong said they were booked with some TikiFarm shenanigans as the new Hula Girls!? So the Men Of Yaki stepped up to the plate in true form!! nice... then the Thursday before the party i get a call... ah? any room for Hula Girls??? Dang!!! Hoo Noo! Hula Girls playing for CrazyAL Tiki #12 "Hula Lover"!!!!!!! NOW THAT IS TIKI!!!!

so i never took one pic of any of the show... after all that work.... hmmm business as usual... if anyone has pics they want to get to me i would love it!! thanks

ALSO: The Tiki Moon Light #11, 12 & 13 will go up on my site next week... I have to head out of town for a funeral and help out a good friend.

Al, you rock! If I wasn't so goddamn busy working my life away, I'd be at every one of these events. Oh well, maybe next time. I mean that...I'm gonna surprise you and show up and show some support. You've got big fans in the Nutty crew, and don't you forget it!
