MMM, I can taste the Urinal Cake already...
Scottes you may want to keep guys with flasks out of your room man. I've seen them fill and empty in record time and your rum collection is much to nice to disappear in just one evening.

I said I'd bring 24 bottles.
That still leaves about 120 at home....

I don't have anything to say, I just think this is funny all by itself.

As a reminder, there are only a few rooms left at the Knights Inn.
If you have not reserved a room, call em up & do so now!!!
more info on the webpage:
www.northeasttikitour.com
We'll see ya on the bus.
Oh, and one other thing....you know how its impossible to get BIG Tikis up here in the Northeast? 'Cause you can't put em in your luggage coming back from Hukilau, and they cost a friggin' fortune to ship.
Well, save your pennies cats & kittens..... They may very well be coming to you at the NETT.
More info to come as it pans out.

Also, PAY UP SUCKAS!!!! lol
I'm sending reminders to those who havent paid yet.
Your seat is not fully reserved until you've paid for it, and there are hungry tiki freaks on the waiting list hoping that you dont.
As always, we'll see you on the bus!!

Did someone say "Drink Bong"? I've gotta check that out!
I'm still working out my cocktail for this years Friday night room crawl... You never know what I'll come up with.
Someone kick the summer into high gear please.

Got it. You're all set.
I'm sorry if the email I sent last week confused anyone. It got sent to ALL attendees, and I included a reminder for those who hadn't paid.
I just wanted to get word out about Tiki Hana, & the hotel, & get a headcount for the PEM.
Its all good. Things are coming together nicely.
A copy of email follows (in case someone didn't get it)....and if you've paid me, ignore the part about "For those who haven't paid yet..." Sorry for any confusion:
Alooooooooha!!!!!!!
I hope summer is treating everyone well and I have just a few quick announcements to make.
If you haven’t reserved a room at the Knights Inn yet, please do so IMMEDITAELY. They are releasing the block of rooms I had saved next week. We want to hang with everyone all weekend, so book now!! Knights Inn-Danvers Mass - (978) 774-6500.
Also, if you haven’t seen the NEWS section of the website recently, we have convinced tiki carver Tiki Hana to join us on the tour. He’ll be filling his truck with BIG carved tikis for sale (and some small ones too), so if you’ve ever wanted a nice big carving, but couldn’t fit it in your carry-on on the way home from Hukilau, or shipping it was too expensive/damage prone, NOW is your chance!! Save your pennies!!
In fact, we may have a few vendors at this years event, so save LOTS of pennies….just don’t let it cut into your raffle ticket purchases!! Lol
Also, for those who haven’t paid for their seat yet, please do so in the next week. If I don’t receive payments by then, I’ll have to release the seats to people on the waiting list, so they have enough time to make plans for the weekend.
Last, I need to hear from those who are interested in the Peabody Museum’s South Seas Art exhibit. This is a great opportunity for a personal tour of some fantastic tiki carvings & artwork. Don’t let it pass you by! I need a headcount ASAP to let the Peabody know. Email me back if you’re interested.
As always, HUGE mahalos for your support, and we’ll see you on the bus!

Sent this off in an email blast today. Please feel free to discuss.
Aloha Tiki Tourees!!!!
I come today with good and bad news.
The bad news is that the way we set up the reservation and payments for the buses left us open to a fuel surcharge and it is substantial. Diesel fuel IS nearly $5/gallon, so I completely understand, but it has put the NETT into a hole that it will not recover from. After speaking with a few past attendees, and friends, they convinced me I needed to write this letter.
I hate to do it. I’m a “my word is my bond” kind of guy, but I need to increase the cost of this years ticket by $5. That’ll make it an even $50.
Rather than re-send invoices, and deal with paypal & checks, I’d ask that you please pay the additional $5 when you pick up your badges.
If anyone has a problem with this, please email/pm me immediately. Once again, I’m sorry to have to do it, and I appreciate your understanding.
Now onto some good news!!
Our very own Granite Tiki has donated the services of his band for the Friday night party. They’ll be playing their unique style of Hapa Haole, Hawaiian, & all around party music in the middle slot during Friday’s festivities.
I can’t thank them enough for the generous offer, and as they’re doing it for free, be sure to buy these guys some drinks!!
Also, James (Primo Kimo) is spearheading the room crawl effort again this year, and it stands to be fantastic (MAHALO to Primo!!). For those of you who have committed to a room (thanks!!) PK will be in contact with you shortly.
For those who were “maybe” or “no”, its not too late to reconsider. Email me if you want in on what should be one of the best parts of the weekend!
Once again, thanks to everyone for their support, and we’ll see you on the bus!
