Define "very very soon". I'm beginning to think you're a big ticket tease. And you know, those kind of girls never get asked to the prom.

The hold up has been in figuring out the pricing. We're offering so much more this year that it's hard to figure out how to cram it all into a ticket structure that makes sense. We're having an emergency meeting tonight to hammer out all the details so we can get these tix on sale in the next few days. Hang in there, it will be worth the wait!

Here's the news you've all been waiting for!
TIKI-KON: NW Tiki Crawl 2006
Friday, June 23-Sunday, June 25
This year, the NW Tiki Crawl digs its toes in at Portland's premier boutique motel, The Jupiter, and transforms into the NW Tiki-Kon!
Rums provided by 3D Spirits (and others to be announced), tikirific decorations by Bamboo Craftsman, live music, tiki drinks, plenty of shopping time with your favorite tiki vendors, Selector Lopaka’s exotic music mix, social time, The Original NW Tiki Home Bar Tour (with new bars this year!), an exclusive preview of new tiki bar Grass Skirt, and chat with all your favorite tiki friends.
Here is our current schedule (subject to change for the better):
Friday: Kick-Off Party at the infamous Castaway Cove, home of Tikimaxton & Pele. This will be for full weekend Crawlers only to get to know your fellow tikiphiles and enjoy the Cove’s famed hospitality. Food & drinks provided.
Saturday: There will be gatherings at Portland tiki bars: (soon to be closed!) Jasmine Tree and the venerable Alibi. Then the Tiki-Kon really gets going that evening at the Jupiter, with Bands! Vendors! Drinks! Socializing! Raffle with Fabulous Prizes! Mysterious Other Things!
Full Weekend crawlers will also be treated to an EXCLUSIVE preview of Portland's newest tiki bar, Grass Skirt (not yet open to the public!)
Sunday: A special Tiki-Kon Brunch at the Alibi, followed by The Original NW Tiki Home Bar Tour, which this year will include new home bars (transportation provided). The group will then return to the Jupiter for the weekend farewell - allowing more time for shopping, socializing, and maybe a little drinking at the nearby Doug Fir.
The NW Tiki-Kon will once again feature a commemorative mug designed by our own Tikitronic.
Saturday Jupiter Event Only: $20.00
Full Weekend (No Mug): $39.00
Full Weekend (With Mug): $49.50
Collector’s Special: Add a mug to a ticket $15.00
The tickets will go on sale on Monday, May 1 so watch http://www.nwtiki.com
Please feel free to post to our boards (http://forum.nwtiki.com) or here at TC or email any of us @nwtiki.com with questions! We’ve done our best to provide you with a bigger event for less money.

Just a note about Sunday - Brunch is on The Alibi, for those who buy tickets on the home bar tour. This is thanks to our good friend and sponsor, Larry White, owner of the World Famous Alibi. I encourage you all to book soon, as the home bar tour will fill up quickly!

Thanks Tikimama but not this time. We'll just be partying & drinking masses with the masses. However, I'm always searching for potential newfangled things to sell in my store and I'm looking forward to meeting the Tiki-Kon venders & artists!

Hey gang! If you're thinking about staying at the Jupiter and haven't booked your room yet, you may want to think about doing it right away - the rooms we've set aside around the courtyard where the action will be Saturday (and where all the cool kids will be staying) are booking up pretty fast. If you want to be in the middle of the action, get ye to the Jupiter website soon!

Hey gang, check out the new, official NW Tiki Kon website at www.nwtiki.com - amazing work by our own TikiTronic! I think you'll agree that it looks fantastic, and we hope it reflects all the fun and excitement of the upcoming NW Tiki Kon. If you haven't bought your tickets yet, now's your chance! Remember that the "cool" rooms at Jupiter are booking up fast, and that the home bar bus is now over half full. Get in while you can!
