The weather may be turning crisp but it will be warm on the bus with the Ohana. Bargoyle is going back to basics this year, one bus and a whole lot of fun. Stay tuned for hotel and ticket information soon. And join us on Facebook while you wait: http://www.facebook.com/NortheastTikiTour Mahalo.

A big ass bus, with a nice AV system (we play exotica & show old films while rolling), complimentary drinks onboard served by our semi-coherent staff, and stops at the last/best Tiki joints in New England. We missed the bus tour last year, so this year we figured, why not do Ohana AND NeTT? I was crazy enough to get talked into it, and here we are. The NeTT is Back, and its on for November 12-14, 2010. Yeah, that’s a month away. Friday is kickoff party, Saturday is the bus tour, Sunday is hangover brunch. Time is short, and seats are VERY limited. We only have ONE bus this year, so that means there’s only room for 50 folks. The cost is $40, and that gets ya a seat on the bus, some drinks on board, and stops at the Kowloon, Bali Hai, South Pacific, and a mystery spot we KNOW you’re going to love. A full day of comradery, cocktails, pu-pu’s, & insanity! In addition, rather than doing a whole organized room crawl thing on Friday night(don’t worry, most of us will be up both nights mixing drinks in our rooms regardless) JPM ArtDog has graciously offered his Exotic Island Art Studio as home base for Friday’s shenanigans. We’ll be entertained by the rockin’ surf of 9th Wave (yeah, they’re one of our favorites, and if I have my way will be at EVERY event we throw!) as well as some Special Surprise Guests. The bar will be open, and if you want to jump behind it & guest bartend for a bit to show off those killer mixing skills, just speak up. We’ll also have more food than all of us could possibly (or should) eat in one night. We are asking for a separate $10 donation at the door on Friday, to help offset some of the cost of all the food & booze, and even if you don’t get on the bus, you’re more than welcome to join us at the Friday night party! So, brass tacks: Goto http://www.NortheastTikiTour.com and follow the link to BUY TICKETS. Then, make your reservation at the Fairfield Inn in Amesbury, MA Fairfield Inn 35 Clarks Road Amesbury, MA 01913 ph. 978.388.3400 fx. 978.388.9850 http://www.marriott.com/mhtfa Mention the code N.E.T.T. as the 4-digit discount code, and get rooms for $79/night. They’re only holding the block of rooms thru Sunday, so move fast!! In fact, with only 50 seats available, move fast on everything! So, what are you waiting for? Stop reading my ramblings. Go get a seat on the bus!!

Already have tickets? Think about bringing a friend. Maybe someone who keeps asking you about this "tiki thing."
