jackets for those who make ALL THE DATES!!! :P

Does the tour have any east coast stops?

WooHoo! Viva Las Vegas :) Can't wait to see Frankies and all the other Tiki in Sin City. If you're going to be in town lets meet up for some Tropical Refreshments.

I am here in town right now. Hoping to make it over to Frankies tomorrow night

Went to Frankie's today around noon. I hear we missed you guys. The bartender said you came in yesterday and bought her lunch, very sweet! I loved Frankies! Bought a drink and a bunch of mugs, great place.

Wow! Vegas was a blast this past weekend! It was all under the pretense of a soccer tournament (my team finished 3rd out of 20 teams in our division!) Inky and Mrsmiley took us to Japan, Italy, Germany and the South Pacific all in the course of three days!!! Pictures to follow!

Here is some of the swag we collected along the way:
From Trader Vic's...Ok, we HAD to go...REALLY! Mike Emizawa, the Maitre D' (and Trader Vic's Ambassador) is a good friend and we hadn't seen him since he left the Scottsdale TV's. He treated us to pupus & Mai-Tais...They did NOT compare to Beverly Hills or Emeryville!!! We were given a couple employee shirts! And we purchased some location specific plastic "walk-around" mugs and a beautiful lidded wahine mug. And, of course, a menehune footed compote.

Frankie's Tiki Room was fantastic! A must see! We drank and collected 6 out of 8 of their signature drinks/mug. The shirts are cool as well as the swizzles and matches!

We even stopped at Cheeseburger..Before you say "not tiki"...You need to look at all the decor! There are some wonderful Hawaiiana and South Pacific art and ephemera on almost all the walls! And tiki mugs too!
We had to get this guy (after drinking a decent mai-tai in it!)

We'll post more pictures of the locales and frivolity soon!

WooHoo! Vegas was a Tiki-rrific!! Catmomma, sorry we missed you. Mahalo, Mahalo, Mahalo to Mrsmiley & Inky for taking us on a Trip Around the World "Vegas Style" in less than 48 hours. SoccerTiki and I really appreciate all the time you two took out of your busy schedules to show us around. Your home is Absolutely Amazing!!!

First Stop Japan

SoccerTiki liked his sushi!

Inky and Mrsmiley invited us to sit with them at their "usual table".

Second Stop: The Tropical Island of Frankie's Tiki Room





Third Stop: Italy

And Last but not least...Germany along with our Favorite Friend, Hubert


Seriously! The beers are that big!!!


Hubert and the Wahines...er, I mean the frauleins!

Hubert and Inky are done!

Sloppy drunk!

Ok, the deal is that if you have a shot from the board, you GET the BOARD!

Someone bought SoccerTiki a shot of Jagemeister!!!

Getting prepped for the spanking!?!

I think she likes doing it!

I think he liked it!

We even trekked out to Sunset Park to see Eli Hedley's Moai from the Aku Aku. Another worthwhile adventure! And only about 10 minutes from the strip!

This Friday at the Catalina Fish Kitchen in Huntington Beach WooHoo and I will be meeting up with some friends to see the Smokin' Menehunes and Bill Tapia! I heard there will be some hula dancing to some of the music!

Saturday is the art show at Kona AND the 101 years young party for the world's oldest working musician (Bill Tapia) at the Grand in San Pedro. It'll be hard to do both, but we are going to try!

Love the hat....

WooHoo! SoccerTiki, Al-ii, Go-Go, Dani, and I are leaving from Long Beach today around 2:00ish. The SoccerTiki Mobile is heading to L.A. ..... 3:00 Fatburger, 4:00 Tiki-Ti, and then to La Luz de Jesus for the Tiki Mug book release. See you in a few!!

Sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name.....Tiki-Ti. Tiki-Ti was like an episode of Cheers last night. It was so good to see everybody there.

Kirby AND POLLY'S "Rumpus Room" was indeed a treat! I can see why so many who live close bye come over! If we lived closer we'd be there more often! Definitely a "must see" on anyone's home tikiroom list!

We'll see you at Tiki Oasis IX!!!
THIS IS IT!!!! OUR LAST TIKI OASIS AS...UMM....UH...AS AN UNMARRIED COUPLE? (I can't think of anything better right now!) WooHooWahine and I look forward to seeing everyone Thurs-Sun. We're not decorating our room this year (we did it the last 3 years in a row)so we can spend more time with friends.
We plan on.......
TOASTING, NOT HOSTING!!!*

Oh, and one last thing....I think people that bump their topic in "cool and current" JUST TO LOWER SOMEONE ELSE'S TOPIC really suck! You know who you are!

This HAS been the most amazing year! Ray and I just love you and Karen and less than 60 days to go WooHoooooo!

Topic bumping.......just ain't cool but hey, if they had a life they really wouldn't have time for that so consider it flattery cuz they're just jealous!

Three days to go to TO!!

Congrats! When is the BIG day? We think you two are a great couple and wish you the best. Sorry we missed you at Tiki Oasis this year. Here's to a year of more tiki bars, crawls, and parties as a married couple. Your adventure now begins

The "BIG DAY" (10-3-09)is approaching all too quickly!!! There are so many more places, events and friends we want to see.....

Let's see...This Sunday (8-23)at Buster's Beach House in Long Beach around 4pm the Smokin' Menehunes will be doing their thing,..."The Smokin' Menehunes play the swinging jazz songs of the golden age of Hawaiian music. Imagine yourself sitting beneath the banyon tree at the old Moana Hotel in Waikiki in the 1940's and sipping on a mai tai as the Smokin' Menehunes ignite all the songs that made that era memorable." Who knows...They may even have Bill Tapia with them (you never know when he's gonna show up and take over the stage!)

The Tiki Beach Fest in Long Beach today was fun! I suggest anyone who wants a fun casual atmosphere on the beach (with Crazy Al and others) to check it out Sunday (before the Smokin' Menehunes' show at busters @4pm.)

This Friday 9/18/09 The Smokin Menehunes are doinga special "mid-month" gig at the Catalina Fish Kitchen...Bong says something about celebrating the beginnng of "Ball-N-Chaindom"??? I can't imagine what THAT means!!! I guess since WooHooWahine will be in Palm Springs with the girls this weekend I should take advantage!!!

On invitation by GoTiki to tour his studio today (I just happened to be in the area!) I was met at the door with this incredible "Bachelor" present!!!

Now, how VERY COOL is that?!!! I hope it survives this weekend!!! :P
