Not such a crazy idea - we did Exotica2003 last year for four days in Chicago. We aren't doing it this year, but if you want to help out with the one tentatively planned for 2005, keep in touch. Lots of Tiki in Chicago (relatively speaking), but not much in WI.

I'd go to a good WI tiki event! A good friend of mine, I Zombie, lives in Milwaukee now but is moving to Minneapolis and I think he'd be up for it. I'm sure you could get lots of Twin Cities tikiphiles to participate in a Wisconsin thing. Not to mention Chicagolanders. Hell, us midwesterners are used to driving all over to get a taste of tiki.

T Tiki-Toa Member Somewhere on Planet Tiki Joined: May 30, 2004 Posts: 1012	T Tiki-Toa Posted posted on Tue, Jun 1, 2004 12:49 PM TO ALL~!! Much Mahalo to all who have replied! It is great to see so much response, and also to hear that many are interested in doing something here in WI, there may not be alot of tiki but there is a lot of Tiki lovers. Though sign me up to help for the next Chiacago event. Now the next question, who would be interested in doing a small event say this summer? Nothing to big or elaborate, but like a summer lua type thing. And I love the Monday Night Tiki Bash theme, if I get invited I might have to call in sick the next day, Antigo huh? >:)More feedback all, lets see where this Tiki takes us!!
T tikibars Tiki Socialite Aku Hall, Chicago Joined: Apr 11, 2002 Posts: 2034	T tikibars Posted posted on Tue, Jun 1, 2004 7:21 PM Thanks for the offers of help for Exotica 2005. The event hasn't been officiaully announed yet, but Captain Dan, Dave K, myself, and Nels from Tikiroom.com, have been yakking about getting it together. Possibly/hopefully some of the other people on the 2000 and 2003 teams (Carters / Vastas / displaced and missed Lawrences) will want to participate. We'll probably go into serious planning mode sometime in January. So you can bet there will be an announcement then. In the mean time, if you guys get something together in Milwaukee, I'll make the drive, count me in! Maybe an At Random / Foundation crawl (that's about all you guys have up there)???
F finkdaddy Member Wisconsin Joined: May 11, 2004 Posts: 2061	F finkdaddy Posted posted on Wed, Jun 2, 2004 7:27 AM Tiki-Toa, My wife and I would love to come to a luau in Wisconsin. I'm a great cook, so I could bring some food. Maybe some pineapple-shrimp kabobs or something. Just let me know, I'd be happy to help. So glad to see all the response from fellow cheese-heads! Tikibars, there is a bar called Bryant's on 9th and Mitchel that is very similar to At Random. I was just there last Sunday to celebrate my birthday. I can't say if the Mai Tai is an authentic recipie or not, but I know all I had was 1.5 of them and I was done for the night. I was sent directly to Hangover City for almost 2 full days. They do alot of tropical drinks in hurricane glasses, like the Blue Volcanoe (a popular flaming drink that my wife loves). It's worth a look. [ Edited by: finkdaddy on 2004-06-02 07:41 ]

T Tiki-Toa Member Somewhere on Planet Tiki Joined: May 30, 2004 Posts: 1012	T Tiki-Toa Posted posted on Wed, Jun 2, 2004 3:34 PM Ok tiki folk, I made a call and here is what I have for you all to consider~ August 20,21,22 2004 In Oshkosh, WI at Rum Runners Tiki Bar they can do a Hawaiian Lua Buffet for about $25 a person, we can also get an event room to set up to do some trading, selling or maybe book signing. Here is the link for the hotel and tiki bar. Reservations would have to be set by June 20th Check in Friday, event & Luau on Sat., check out on Sunday. They also have live music every night at the Tiki bar free of charge. I need to hear from all interested so I can get back to the guy and at least reserve a block of rooms for this. SO! Who's in?? http://www.pioneerresort.com/the-tiki-bar-menu.html

I like the idea of a "swap" room or display area for artwork and artifacts...since I noodle a bit in paintings and beatnik-tiki music....if anyone takes a trip up north and comes through Antigo..keep in mind the Antigo tiki lounge is usually open to visitors.
