Where will the next generation of tiki bartenders come from? My father in law passed his bar test:
But thejab may have to hold back my son:
Thanks to tikiwonder for the great pics and to all the ohana that made the event so much fun.

Wow, what a great weekend ! Many many thanks to the NW Tiki Crawl Ohana for all their efforts in putting together such a fun 3 day event... Selector Lopaka and I had a blast ! It was great to see everyone again, and also to meet more of the TC ohana. It was great to have an evening at the Castaway Cove, as well as to be back at the Alibi & Jasmine Tree for Saturday's festivities. Thanks to all the talented artists for vending, we are glad to have some great new tiki art additions for our home. Also many thanks to the hosts & hostesses on Sunday's home bar tour that kindly opened their homes for us all to gather. Looking forward to next year's event !

Best line I heard on the 2005 NW Tiki Crawl: TikiMama to Humuhumu as the latter explained that she never wins anything while picking up her tikimac prize, "Yes, yes, it just sucks to be you."
Below are some photos from the crawl. More can be found here

Thanks one more time to all the organizers, hosts, and artists for another swell crawl.

Sunday night's sky was so weird. It just glowed orange and then the rainbows came out. Wow! I thought someone spiked my punch with something stronger on the home bar tour! No wonder so many deadheads like to live in Portland.

A friend of mine went to Rocky Butte (a small Mtn. in the middle of the city) that night when the massive thunderhead rolled in from the south. He said you could see Mt. St.Helens shooting out steam from the north, as the sky turned red and lightning was streaking in all directions. He said everyone left immediately when the thunder and the flash hit simultaneously.
The emergency broadcast interrupted programming to warn of possible tornadoes!

"The emergency broadcast interrupted programming to warn of possible tornadoes!"
Mystery solved: We were in the Alibi that evening and twice we heard the Emergency Alert signal come across the Alibi's FM/sattelite music channel, once with an ominous "turn to channel 14". The staff gave it no attention and as the Alibi is windowless we we're imagining nuclear destruction or an alien invasion just outside the door but figured we were in one of the best places to spend the final hours of civilization before the mutant zombie Martians took over.

Best one I heard was:
"Have you ever TOUCHED a monkey?"
short pause "No, but I've spanked one."

hahaha, lizard, that's GREAT!
It's a good thing there aren't video cameras recording these events, can you imagine all the conversations that might be taken out of context?
Snippets of debauchery induced conversation?
Of course it would be funny as H-E-double hockey sticks.

I for one am glad there is no video of the end of Sunday's home bar tour! The last thing I remember is watching Mr. Tikibar's father-in-law laughing and smiling and pouring drinks.
