The Pontani Sisters are the best. Not only knock-out with more energy than you can imagine and never dropping their smiles, but super nice girls to boot! Love the way they shake it!

 Yes! 7 days to go!!! Alright, this is one final plea. I know many of you (Chicago area mainly) have your own transportation to and from each Exotica event. Unfortunately, being an out-of-towner my mode of transportation will have to rely on the green line or any of those other color lines running through Greater Chicago. I decided not to rent a car (mistake?). There has to be many of you riding the line. Right? Let's hear from you! The T.C. members could get together before going to Vic's on Thur. night, so we could arrive all at once.. Any ideas or suggestions? I am staying at the Write Inn. Let's hear some feedback!
Cheers!

I'm pretty sure we'll (Power of the Tiki & myself) be riding the lines most of the time. We're @ the motorlodge. Ahh a week from now.

Those who are carless - here is some information I received on suggested ways of getting around in Chicago ....
Oak Park to Trader Vics
- Train: Green line to Madison
Walk south to Monroe
Trader Vics to Martyrs
- Train: Brown line to Irving Park
walk .4 west to Lincoln Avenue
Martyrs to Delilahs
- Train: Brown line south to Diversey
walk .4 west to Lincoln Avenue
Hala Kahiki
- Best bet: drive or cab
Oak Park to Chef Shangri-La
- #307 Harlem bus south to 26th Street
- West 1 mile on 26th

You know, you don't have to LIVE in Chicago to BE in Chicago to attend Exotica. Many folks are traveling from far-flung destinations to be here for the fun. We'd love to see the two of you again soon. Seriously, if you can't make it to Exotica that's fine, but if you have the chance to come to Chi-town to spend some quality Tiki-time, please give us a shout.
-Duke and Amy

Finally some response! Now we are getting somewhere! Turbogod and Johnny Dollar are on board! Who's next? Is the motorlodge connected? I have no clue? Thanks ikitnrev, for your detailed list! What's this cab or bus to Hala Kahiki? Ouch!
