We called the Jupiter Hotel this morning for our reservations. They went "HUH?!!!" No special NW Tiki Crawl rates confirmed yet. Made the reservations anyway. It's a cool place and better safe than sorry.

The Jupiter WILL be our official hotel again this year, and special rates WILL be extended. The only delay is that Al, the manager, is out of the office and won't be back for a week. Make sure you tell them that you're with the crawl, and that it's o.k. that they don't know anything about it because Al will tell them everything when he gets back.
I highly recommend the Jupiter as we will likely be using it as a central meeting point for all crawl activities this year. Stay where the action is!

Sweetpea, just a reminder that it's just a quick run down from Indy to Lotus Garden in Greenwood.

It's early yet to be giving out too many details, but you can count on our signature home bar tour for sure! We're also working on getting more vendors, having them display longer, and setting it up so you can actually see what they're selling. All in all, expect a new approach to the NW Crawl, with more emphasis on social activities. More to come!

I would like to be a vendor this year! I bought a little table-top battery operated lantern just for that!

We're all set up with the Jupiter Hotel again. You can go to directly to our custom booking page at http://tinyurl.com/d7ag9 to get the NW Tiki Crawl preferred rate. If you've already booked at the Jupiter, just give them a buzz and let them know you're coming up for the Crawl and they'll fix you right up.
The Jupiter has had a tremendous year, and jacked up their rates considerably, but our Crawl preferred rate is only $5 per room higher than last year, and still a great deal. The Jupiter is where it's at this year, with a lot of our core activities centered or starting there. It's where the bus will pick up, and where a lot of the action will be taking place for this year's event. If you're looking for a place to stay for the crawl, you can't get any closer than the Jupiter, official hotel of NW Tiki Crawl '06!

Sorry to have been silent for so long - we're furiously planning and forgot to come of for air! Here's what I can tell you so far:
First, We're officially changing the name of the NW Tiki Crawl to NW Tiki Kon. The reason for this is that this year's event is going to be so much more than a crawl. Much of our activities, including vendors and entertainment, will be take place at the Jupiter Hotel, with various crawls and excursions branching out from that central location. So the Jupiter's where you want to be!
Second, you can expect website updates and more specific announcements within the next couple of weeks. Keep checking http://www.nwtiki.com for updates, and make sure you join the forums so you'll be among the first to know about any new information. We'll announce the launch of this year's site right here, as well.
Finally, tickets will go on sale in April. Because we will have so much more to offer this year, the pricing structure will allow for maximum flexibility; you can go "a la carte" on many of the events, or whole hog and enjoy every second of everything.
That's all I can say for now. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Looking forward to the event..

Wonderful news! Can't wait for the announcement. I've got a fist full of dollars and am ready to buy the Big Kahuna Ticket plan! Would that be the 3 day Tiki Hopper ticket?
