Hey All,

Just wanted to pass on some info.

First, the bus ride will be $20/per person. Payable to Polynesian Pop as you board the bus (excluding our Guest of Honor - Sven and his gal).

Second, the bus is tecnically full. So those on the list (page 3 of this thread) will board first, any no-shows and we can let others on. Right now, Crazy Al has asked for 3 more.

Third, Bamboo Ben's shop is 712 Yorktown right off Beach Blvd.

Forth, the bus leaves at 6:30

Any other questions, just ask on a post.

Aloha and Mahalo

Thanks for the info Bong!

Payments to board must be in CASH! No checks, or Paypal please!

Any questions or comments? Email me at [email protected] and I'll forward them to Tiki Bong and/or Bamboo Ben respectively.

Looking forward to Saturday!

Do you have an itinerary as far as times/stops for those who wish to meet up on the way? Thanks, Laney

Laney,

I WISH we had times, but with 50 drunken (except Baxdog) tikifreaks, who the hell knows when we'll be anywhere!

But the stops are RH, Billy's, Sams.

Alohaaaaaaaaa

I spoke with Al today regarding an itinerary and we roughly came up with the following:

4:30-6:30 TC Pre-Crawl Party at Bamboo Ben's
6:30-7:30 Board bus and travel to Royal Hawaiian
7:30-8:30 Royal Hawaiian
8:30-9:00 Board bus and travel to Billy's by the Beach
9:00-10:00 Billy's by the Beach
10:00-10:30 Board bus and travel to Sam's Seafood
10:30-11:30 Sam's Seafood
11:30-12:00 Board bus and return to Bamboo Ben's

I'll volunteer to keep us on track with the boarding/departing times as best as I can. I think its important to try and stick to this itinerary as closely as possible to maximize our visits and to keep us from running too far over on the bus rental.

I figured that would be the exact reason you would want a schedule. A lot can happen with a mob that size, but, whatever, maybe we'll see you guys, maybe well miss you guys. I see how it is....Bong

Actually, I MAY have a guest with me who owns a bar and is planning on opening a tiki place, so I wanted him to get the feel of this group and have dinner plans to make too. We'll guess, Thanks, Laney

Not so fast Sten...

....actually, I just wanted to write that after seeing you do it, so never mind. Do you guys think that we should call Sam's in advance to let them know we're coming? That way, we'll make sure that they don't close early for some reason. I think they will stay open later for us if we tell them what's up.

No, Mrs. B it's not him it's one of the owners of the Continental Room in Fullerton ( a great very crowded bar with amazing decor and lamps) We ended up there on St Patty's when he said he was building this tiki patio/lounge thing. Nice guy, mentioned a few TC members-it's a small world! Sorry-no Korn dogs Sat!

From what I understand, we have the bus FROM 6:30 correct? As such, we cannot board UNTIL 6:30. Even if we DO have the opportunity to board earlier, so that we CAN leave at 6:30, I doubt we WILL leave right at 6:30.

As the keeper of the time schedule, I respectfully decline your proposed itinerary for the following reason:

Your itinerary only allows 15 minutes of boarding & travel time between locations. Do you really think that will be the case? With 50 people, that is HIGHLY unlikely. Realistically, it will take at least 15 minutes just to board the bus with that many people (drunk at that).

As such, we should stick to the original itinerary as follows:

4:30-6:30 TC Pre-Crawl Party at Bamboo Ben's
6:30-7:30 Board bus and travel to Royal Hawaiian
7:30-8:30 Royal Hawaiian
8:30-9:00 Board bus and travel to Billy's by the Beach
9:00-10:00 Billy's by the Beach
10:00-10:30 Board bus and travel to Sam's Seafood
10:30-11:30 Sam's Seafood
11:30-12:00 Board bus and return to Bamboo Ben's

If you disagree, I will happily hand it all over to you and let you run the show.

Hey Uncle Arty's, Lucky's Design and Polynesian Pop's. Watch out for the invisible Bamboo blow darts!!! The swelling will go down after a few days and the pain only lasts a week or so. See you's on's Sat's. Watch out! Duck and cover!!!

Are u related to
Mer-say-dees BENZ

Unlce Bens
Or I went scuba diving and
I got the bends

Ohhh... I think I get it:

You can't say "Bamboo Bends" 'cause it doesn't - that would be rattan!

Bambooz Benz,

Youz better add Bazdogz to zee poizen dartz lizt.

He'z been a Baaaad Daaawg!!!

Okay, bored at home on Friday night:

Twas the Night Before the Crawl
Twas the night before the Crawl,
When all through the southland
Not a centralite was drinking, ‘cept Bong & the band:
The Smokin’ Menehunes practiced with fury,
They needed to learn to play, in a hurry!
Baxdog passed out, in a comfy rattan chair,
With nightmares of Bong running his fingers thru his hair!
Bamboo Ben & the Mrs worked to tidy the shop up
But then thought “its just the OC gang, so why give a f**k?”
So they stopped what they were doing, put down their brooms
And went to Li’s, for Chinese food.
Al & Shelley showed up last weekend at Bamboo Ben,
They knocked forever; Al, check that calendar again!
Poly Pop planned his moment to shine,
Sorting names, for the Tiki bus line:
“On Arty, on Tina! On Shelley and Ben!
On Sabu, on Trustar, on Mr, Holden!
When you hear your name, when you hear my call,
Pay your fee, get on the bus, get on the bus all!”
As the bus left the curb, there rose such a ruckus!
It was Sven and his wahine, chasing the bus!
After letting them chase us for more than two blocks,
We stopped to let them on, before they threw rocks.
The bus was now full, off to Royal Hawaiian
Everyone is happy, ‘cause Bong is buyin’!
As we rolled off, we let out this call:
“MAI TAIS FOR ALL, AND FOR ALL A GREAT CRAWL!”

Thank you, thank you very much.
:tiki:

Clap clap clap clap clap. Applause for the Trader Pupster!!! Standing ovation!!!

Pup, that was great. You must have been working on that for weeks now. You are right, one last practice for the "Menuhenes" over mai tais this afternoon. Can't wait for tomarrow.

Pup, that was excellent! You may have missed your true calling - you should be writing greeting cards or childrens books!

Pupdaddydog
That was candy for my eyes.
I bow to you poem mister.
See you there with bongjuice in my hair.
OOOH shit wake up Bax it's a night mare.

C.B. Howlie just got off work (no puns please) and we are toasting the Tiki Central Crew at the syncronized time as pre-selected by Maestro Tiki Bong....
5.4.3.2.1...

Okole maluna!

Wish we were there...

Blast at the crawl. I'm sorry about the service at Biily's, I think I saw it coming. Dr. Z and I got ours, if you know what I mean. I think Sam's made up for it. Futura girl and CB, we missed you.

Thanks for the support at Ben's for the Menuhunes. I waitin for the next party.... Vegas?
