What a night. It's a total blur. Thanks to everyone who met up with the bus along the way for bringing a little extra aloha to all the venues. Thanks to our great entertainers in Fairfax and Kuku on the bus. Let's see some pictures!!

As I've said before, the weekend was a blast! Too bad its over now -- time flies...

BTW - I think TikiMaxton got high by O-D'ing on that peanut sauce at Mr. Vice Grip's Bamboo Bar. Hey Mark, You ok buddy??

Oh yeah -- did that dude ever jump off the bridge?

Must...get... Theremin...

Actually, have bills before I have another instrument to sit in the corner. A fun fantastic evening full of thrills, chills, and a few spills.

Special thanks Martin! And the Rocking Rebecca, Cool Craig, and Hedonistic Heather! Hooray!

Project Pimento was great Martiki. I can see it now in the future all the musicians will have instruments that they never touch. They walk around stage waving hands and moving fingers like Joe Cocker and somehow the music is just there. WOW! Bought the cd too. Love it. And a thank you to Mig also!!


Now back to you.

Oops, posted on wrong page before. Here's the pics. We had am awesome night on the bus...and who knew the Bamboo Hut could be so much fun??? Project Pimento was great at the Bamboo Room and watching Crazy Al & Sweetpea cut a rug made me promise myself I will NEVER step on a dance floor when they are anywhere near it.

Thanks again to Martiki & Rebecca for putting on such a great crawl and to all the folks who came so far to make it such a great night.

Epic shots.

I can almost taste the drinks.
I can almost hear the ukes strumming.
I can almost feel the hangover.

Thanks for sharing with us.

that mystery bag from 606 belongs to our friend and new TC member Lui the Glick, he was the mad dueling uke player with king kuke...

the best new trick of the evening, the camera on the floor....hahahahahha. so funny.

I had a blast, mmmmmmpunch.....

H

The camera on the floor trick was great, it emboldened me to go up to all the folks I didn't know and get their pictures, too. It's Hanford's trick (he's clever, that one), I just stole it.

I have TONS of pictures, I haven't uploaded them, but the ones that everybody is clamoring for are the Tiki Bob group shots.

Here they are-- full-size, not reduced, so you can do what you want with them. I'm just posting a link rather than embedding them because they are about 1.5mb each:

yes mrs pineapple, thanks for the identification of lui. we knew one of them was his...so please email us your address lui the glick! :)

however, one bag still remains....we would hate for someone to miss out on the goodies from the bus. please pm me if you lost your bag in room 606.

Hi everybody, its me, Heather, with my first official post on Tiki Central.

First, extra special thanks to Martin for putting in so much work organizing our weekend tiki adventure (and for plugging my art -- Thanks Martin!)

Second, thanks to everyone else for making me feel so welcome. Arriving in a foreign city where you don't know anyone after 25 hours on a Greyhound can seem a little daunting at first, but I had a fantastic time and will be back as a vendor for Tiki Oasis next month.

See ya there!

Never can get enough tiki. Thanks to all for the entertainment and excitement. Need to see more Tiki in Va.

The Hanford Lemoore Camera-on-the-Floor Trick Shots

I took these pictures, but the idea to set the timer and put the camera on the floor while everyone crowds around was Hanford's idea. As soon as I learned of it, I went on a giddy spree getting as many shots as I could.

After a slow start to the drinking (and some espresso at Vesuvio's), I finally started kickin' in to party mode when martiki finally broke out the booze at 8:30.
Fun hanging out with everyone and I capped off the evening by arriving late to Room 606 at the Four Points.
As soon as I stepped out of the elevator on the sixth floor I was hit with the strong scent of POT! I soon found out that it wasn't coming from 606, though. Hanging out with Drunken Hat on the balcony, we noticed that some people must be in the hot tub, because we can see some clothes on a chair down there. We all stumbled downstairs with drinks in our hands and were about to walk int othe pool area when we noticed a nekkid guy and gal going "at it" in the hottub--hmmm, not hot tub for us, I guess. THe room 606 hangerson decided to find out where the marijuana smell was coming from on the Sixth floor. We let our noses do the walking up and down the floor until Tikicleen discovered it was coming from Room 612. We all sniffed the door crack and quickly concurred with Tikiclean's finding. Then we shyly walked back to 606 and drank a little more until we called it quits in the early hours of the morning. Back on the balcony we looked down to notice that the couple was know out of the hot tub. She saw us and shouted out that her boyfriend was wearing HER thong! He was quick to drop his drawers and give us a rear view as proof!! YUCK!!!What a fun/ridiculous way to end the evening. My question is---DO ANY of us know who was STAYING IN ROOM 612?? Would you admit it if you were?
Thanks Martiki and everyone for all the trouble/work you you did for us Tiki-aholics!!

Oh sweet mother of pearl, I forgot all about that ( and kinda wished it stayed that way) The great drunken elevator sniff out was unforgettable though. Hey Drunken Hat and Tikicleen, thanks again for havin' all the loonies back to your room for the late night levity .

What I want to know is if anybody knows who was in Room 620??? That was the room next to mine and you could audibly hear some people "knockin' boots" in there at about 4am!!! SCD heard it loud and clear from the hallway too when we were leaving for the airport.

Anyone? Anyone?

Dude, I was hoping you'd forget that whole incident. There was something in that peanut sauce, that's for sure. But damn, it was good, wasn't it?

What a freakin' good time! Soooo good to meet everybody I have only imagined up till now, and excellent to see all my old pals, like the incomparable Humuhumu, Mig, Jab, Robin, Poly Plop, Floratina, and everybody else I was too drunk to form a synapse for. And I'm really thrilled to have finally met my personal lord and saviour, Hanford Lemoore! Yay, Hanford! And Yay, Martin and Rebecca for the awesome event, and Yay to my new homies from the north who were apparently so much a part of the success of the bus. And Yay for the punch! And Yay for the motherf*ckin' peanut sauce, too! Yay!

T

Whoa, lOoks like it was a trip to remember. I wish I could have afforded the crawl. Thanks to all who supported the new guy and paid for my gas. I wish I wasn't so nervous to talk to everybody, and hope to get to know mo peeps over the weekend of Oasis. Thankyou very much Martiki for putting this on, and I'm glad everyone enjoyed themselves. I was blown away just by seeing Trader Vic's, I can't imagine what it was like to see it all!

Holy Christmas that crawl was a blast. I'm finally getting some pics up - I took a lot more, but apparently someone was following me around all night and putting his thumb over the lense.

COrrection, second pic from the top....that's Chikitiki/TikiDiablo not SugarCaddyDaddy next to Mrs. Pineapple. Just to let yous know. Nice pics, funny too, mahalo.

The stop at the Golden Gate Bridge vista was a nice touch - added culture to to night of tiki revelry.

And yet even MORE belated pictures...
