Anything else going on around that time I should try and check out? I'm speaking at a symposium that Monday, but Sunday eve and Tuesday might be fair game. How should I prioritize the bounty of LA tiki?

Tiki-Ti's is only open Wednesday through Saturday 6pm to 1am (last call at 12:30am), and they will be closed November 23rd all the way through December 16th for vacation, so the window of opportunity to enjoy this fine establishment is getting smaller by the day.

In order of importance (considering distance and hours open) Tiki Ti Bahooka (somewhat of a drive depending on traffic) Oceanic Arts (also a bit of a drive - only open weekdays but don't go during lunch as the crew takes a break) Trader Vic's (opens at 5PM) Damon's (don't know hours) Tonga Hut Lava Lounge The following are in Hoiti Toiti Land so are a bit of a drive: Sam's Royal Hawaiian Disneyland (Enchanted Tiki Room)

You would want to go to Sam's to see it and say you've done that, but for a night of debauchery The Purple Orchid is much more welcoming. The owner at Sam's always gets very impatient when it gets late and he wants you out, whereas the owners of The Purple Orchid are fellow TCers who love to get a drinky drink as much as any of the rest of us. Either way let me know the time and place and I'll definitley stop by for a drink.

It looks like my schedule booked up pretty fast with all sorts of non-tiki business, but I'm still trying to keep Wednesday evening free for the Tiki Ti. I wish I could make the Thursday Koochie event, but I fly out that evening so I won't have enough time :( But I can't wait to taste a Ray's Mistake!
