Thanks Bargoyle for the welcome. You're right, the mug collection grows fast. I think I'm at about 20 right now. Some dupes, but who cares. A round of drinks for everybody!
Cheers!

Hey everyone.
just wanted to let y'all know that we're doing a little "thing" on St Pats (this Saturday) if anyone wants to join us. (sorry for the short notice)
We're gonna do the parade in Hartford (the parade is pretty ok....the complete lack of open container policy for the day is exquisite!) and then head back to Bargoyle's Bamboo Room & Lono Lounge for traditional green Mai Tais, Corned Beef, & Soda Bread.
Ok, the Mai Tais WONT be green, but I may be.
If anyone wants to tag along, let me know asap. Its usually a really fun day of booze fueled mayhem.

Wow, Bargoyle, THAT sounds like the right way to do St. Patricks Day!!! It all brings back memories of that great party that reopened the Lono. I must send my regrets. I'm pretty far away right now, from the Lono, from Boston. But that is quite a welcome invitation, and would love to make the trek sometime, once April hits.

Bumping this one up for Big Kahuna. Yet another New England tikiphile crawls out of the evergreen forest to discover our tropical paradise.
Alooooha!!!
Also, since Scottes let my cat out of the bag on the New Tiki thread, here's the tentative plan for Bargoyle's Booze Bus & Tiki Tour.
Late Summer (maybe even into Sept.) I'm renting a party bus. 30 to 40 seats depending on interest. Bathroom, & full bar on board...might even take the time to decorate it the night before if the guy will let me.
Then....well, booze fueled mayhem across New England!!
So, Sat early afternoon....maybe late morning....We'll hit all the favorite spots (New Tiki, South Pacific, Bali Hai, etc) most likely ending at the Kowloon. And I'm working on something special for that final stop.
After that its back to the loading area which will prob be a hip hotel/motel somewhere central, where everyone can crash & then nobody has to drive. Hoping that a block of rooms = discount, & maybe even some event there at the hotel...if anyone thinks they'll still be conscious for it.
Then, perhaps a social gathering to commiserate hangovers on Sunday late morning...a little food, some tunes, and we're done.
Oh also thinking that the kick off will be in chicopee at the HuKeLau for the show on friday night before all this happens, but that'll have to be all worked out too.
The reason for all this craziness??
1) I'm not having a Luau this year, and I still wanna do something tiki-themed with the NE ohana (and anyone else who wants to come on up...NY...NJ...I'm looking in your direction).
2) We need a cool annual New England event so I've decided to stop bitching about the lack of one, and start one.
3) I'm kinda mental.
So, more info to come. Still ALOT of details to hammer out.
If anyone has any suggestions about any of it or wants to lend a hand, let me know.
Pm me or post em up. I wanna make sure we maximize the mayhem, so I'm very open to ideas. Oh, and the bus guy wont let anyone fire-knife dance on the bus, so if you were gonna suggest that, its out unfortunately.

Holy Crap I like where this is heading!
And it sounds like something I'd rearrange my gig schedule to be part of.
I'm praying it won't be on some inescapable wedding gig night! Because I'll need therapy for depression if I have to miss this one.
And I love playing the ukulele on a bus!

scottes, no problem man. The bag was kinda opened at the New Tiki.
Granite, I was gonna tap you for exactly that...and perhaps a bit more...
Im thinking live entertainment is needed at any of the places that will allow it (and maybe even the hotel). Didn't you used to have a Hapa Haole band ?
Also, if interest gets big enough, we can upgrade to a big ol greyhound bus or something....
and if interest is weak, I'll hire someone to drive us around in a minivan if I have to.
More to come as details get hammered out & establishments/individuals get involved.
Its the first of what I hope will be a cool annual event, so fair warning...the first time may have some rough edges.....but then again, rum can smooth any edge I can think of.

Does labor day weekend work for everyone for the NE Tiki Tour? or do most people have other plans for the long weekend? I'm thinking its either that weekend (9/1) or the one before it (8/25).
Whats the general consensus here?

I would do 8/25. In case of hangover I'd rather miss a day of work than a day of Labor Day weekend.
