Well, I am sorry that it has taken so long for me to post this. But yes I talked to Louie, and yes I even talked to Holden......... Well, this event is sounding larger and better than a scorpion for two. We are talking new items from the farm, tiki tunes, and amazing drinks..... So, get there..... Oh yea it is the 22nd.... And yes there will be some blasting from the Farm to give us even more details.

I wanted to take a second to Thank the Louie and the staff for my visit to the Kon Tiki last Friday. My trip to the Kon Tiki was an event in it's self. We celebrated an engagement and even with our large group the staff made it's beyond usual effort to make us all feel welcome. We could have gone to just about any place, but my friends (engagement) had heard stories of events at the Kon Tiki back in WI and wanted to experience things that they have never seen nor tasted. Louie made a strong impression that will not be forgotten, even after all of the scorpion bowls, and I was reminded of all of the history I and all of those who have entered before and after me has made in Tucson's living history. I only hope that the Kon Tiki will continue making special times even more special for another 40 years. Thanks again everyone. -Tiki Mo Fo (Jay)

Here is a list of activities/attractions that people might want to check out if they are coming to Tucson. It is by no means extensive, just a taste of the Old Pueblo. I sent this list to WooHoo Wahine and then I realized that other people may find it helpful.
First off, if you are staying at the Smuggler's Inn you will be within walking distance of this. http://www.tikiroom.com/tikicentral/bb/viewtopic.php?topic=1325&forum=1&hilite=magic%20carpet%20golf
We also have the Tiki Motel, but the building isn't much to look at. It's really all about the sign.

Bisbee is a small town about a 1.5 hour drive from Tucson. It's a cool old mining town built into the side of a mountain/hill. There you will find the Shady Dell and it's tiki bus. Highly recommended.

Now, back to Tucson. We have a nice old drive-in movie theatre, the De Anza.

A cool and quirky off-the-beaten path touristy thing is the Titan Missile Museum.

There is also the Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument.

Last, but not least we enjoy a little dive/JFK/retro bar called The Shelter.

Aloha! Count us in y'all! Can't wait to see/meet everyone! Bamboo Boyd (no relation, other than tiki ohana,of course to the Rev. Bamboo Ben) and I are really looking forward to it!
Also, if anyone is up for an outstanding Mexican food experience....you gotta try Mi Nidito...not tiki, but a-mazing, just the same.
Sakura,which is close to Smugglers,is good for sushi, too!
Time for a drinki drinki wiki wiki
