I'm whipping through your fair city in late July, both going to (20th & 21st) and returning (27th) from a quick stay in St. Petersburg, Russia (where I'm meeting up with my folks). I'd LOVE to meet you folks, and see some London tiki! Don't know yet if I'm staying with a pal (who may be out of town) or at a hotel, but the second night will have to end in time for me to be out at Heathrow to leave at 6:55 AM (blech!). Other than that, I plan to squeeze in all the fun I can :) Cheerio! F

I've already touched tentative bases with Woody and Cheeky. Do you want to set a time and place with Kon-Hemsby and we'll just show up? Start at Trader Vics and see what happens?? The week of the 19th works well for us... Cheers. [ Edited by: cheeky half on 2004-06-28 15:03 ]
K Kon-Hemsby Member Andover, England Joined: Sep 17, 2003 Posts: 1287	K Kon-Hemsby Posted posted on Wed, Jun 30, 2004 3:49 AM I think a Trader Vics /SLP combo is a great idea. Let me know the date and time and I'll be there.
TW Trader Woody Member Tiki Manor, Forest of Bowland,UK Joined: Mar 25, 2002 Posts: 2301	TW Trader Woody Posted posted on Wed, Jun 30, 2004 10:41 AM Ack! I was just about to book a hotel for a couple of nights and then realised the 20th/21st was midweek! Damn - I'm afraid I've go no chance of making those dates. I'd been thinking that it was a weekend. Big apologies, as it sounds like a great night is on the cards. Trader Woody
CH cheeky half Member Tucson, AZ Joined: Nov 22, 2002 Posts: 801	CH cheeky half Posted posted on Thu, Jul 1, 2004 7:31 AM I just checked the South London Pacific web site and they're closed on Mondays and Tuesdays! On the bright side it says Happy Hour is from 6-8. I guess this means we have to meet up on Wednesday 21st. Don't know about anyone else but we're up for a meet at Trader Vics for cocktail hour and then a swing down south to SLP to hit happy hour. Can Cheekytiki, Kon-Hemsby and Formikahini make it to TV's around say 3-ish on Wednesday 21st? Sorry you can't make it Woody, but we'll see you up in your neck of the woods the week after. Cheeky Half

And my trip home (back thru) is also mid-week. Rats!

I'll be easy to find, I'm the one with a cast on my arm, thanks to severing a couple of tendons in a wine glass incident!

CH cheeky half Member Tucson, AZ Joined: Nov 22, 2002 Posts: 801	CH cheeky half Posted posted on Tue, Jul 6, 2004 7:37 AM Sorry about the arm Kon-Hemsby. Mrs. Cheeky Half will be on crutches following knee surgery so we'll be easy to spot too. I guess Formikahini and Cheekytiki just need to look for the people in the bar who looked the most wrecked..... sorry 'bout that. See you all on the 21st. The Cheeky Halfs
K Kon-Hemsby Member Andover, England Joined: Sep 17, 2003 Posts: 1287	K Kon-Hemsby Posted posted on Tue, Jul 6, 2004 7:46 AM just checked and the bar is open from midday onwards!

F Formikahini Tiki Socialite Houston, Texotica Joined: Aug 22, 2002 Posts: 1515	F Formikahini Posted posted on Tue, Jul 6, 2004 5:47 PM Does it count that I've been in traction 3X a week for the past few weeks? (Just sessions, not laid up in a hospital bed or nuthin'). I'll try and scrounge up a neck brace or something so I can fit in with the cool kids. Kon-Hemsby, you KNOW that I'm seeing those tattoos whether you have a cast or not, ya hear?? Bring a chainsaw, buddy, if it's higher than your elbow.

Traction, loose chisels, knee ops.... No worries my tattoo's can come out to play too!
CH cheeky half Member Tucson, AZ Joined: Nov 22, 2002 Posts: 801	CH cheeky half Posted posted on Wed, Jul 7, 2004 3:01 PM So it seems as though Mr. Cheeky Half is the only one of us who is 100% unharmed and unhindered. Looks like the first round is on him! CH

But no mouth guard; wouldn't want anything to impede the flow of yummy tiki puka pukas!
F Formikahini Tiki Socialite Houston, Texotica Joined: Aug 22, 2002 Posts: 1515	F Formikahini Posted posted on Sun, Jul 18, 2004 10:27 PM Off I go! I leave tomorrow and will meet the London gang on Wednesday. And thanks to the old guy tonight who ran a red light and broadsided me in my driver's door, totalling my beat-up-but-faithful-as-a-hounddog car, I too might be wearing the de riguer attire to the event. I see my chiropractor tomorrow, who just might outfit me with an attractive neckbrace or something for my way-stiff neck and back. We'll start the latest trend, Dahlink! "Bandage Chic"! No: "Triage Chic" (all French sounds more haute couture, no?) Hasta pronto, alice b

F Formikahini Tiki Socialite Houston, Texotica Joined: Aug 22, 2002 Posts: 1515	F Formikahini Posted posted on Sat, Jul 24, 2004 9:53 AM From Russia vith Love, Dahlink! What a lovely crew the Brittikis are (my new name for y'all)! I could not have had a better time with you all, save if SLP had not so inconveniently closed their doors Wednesday evening (BAStards!). Mr and Mrs Cheeky Half were a pure delight (thanks for the GREAT Tucson t-shirt!), as were The Kon-Hemsby's and CheekyTiki and the SuperCoolAussie Anjy. I eagerly await the development of the fotos of painting-mimicking by the TV bathroom door.... All is well in St. Petersburg, with only a wayfaring shrimp chip spoiling my first meal (I brought the Ipecac, so the offending substance was, um, ejected before causing damage), and the hotel's having temporarily having lost my passport card (without which I might not have the left the country!!). (What has been WITH my past week?!?) But now all is great and I have seen outrageously gilt everything. But no tikis. But three palm trees in paintings. That's the closest to Russky Tiki there is, folks. But I shall continue to search. Actually, the Hermitage is tomorrow, where there is an abundance of Gaugin's. I consider him the tiki-est of the (almost)Grand Masters. I'm just crossing my fingers that they are not all out on loan to the big exhibition currently in, what, Boston? THAT would suck. But Russia does NOT suck! Nope, not one bit :) Oh, and MrSmiley, by birthday is actually a few days away still. But everyone can celebrate it all month long, no?
