The communal bus transit was possibly the most fun part of the last OC Crawl for me! It became funnier with each stop as we became more intoxicated. We sang and sang.
This appears to be less an isolated incident than a proclivity as we sang obnoxiously on another bus together (with Normals on board no less) on our way to the Huntington Harbor cruise at Christmas. We get on a bus, we sing.

Count me in too!
Has anyone else heard of the rumors that the Royal Hawaiian is haunted with the ghosts of some of their past dearly departed patrons?

So,
What I get out of all of this is that we're going on a bus and going to MONDO TIKI, then TIKI OASIS, then the HUKILAU?
There were enough places last time but not enough "time." My 2 cents say 3 places are perfect. Just "more time" in each place(except Li's). Maybe a majority vote while in each place this time? Who wants to stay? Who wants to go?. The louder answer wins. I think last time we were all paroniod if one of us was an internet wack job/slasher and kinda went with the plan. This time around, maybe we could be a little looser. Remember, the reason for the bus? It avoids the 10,000 $ dui! THAT'S 10k WORTH of MORE TIKI STUFF!!
Bongs? RH? BILLY'S? SAMS? Bongs Lawn?
Sounds TIKI to me!(maybe we could tell Sven the wrong time so he has to chase the bus again. that would be funny!) (just joking Mr. Big Bro!)( he'll probably show up in a limo from his "e-bay sale of the century!)

I'd love to join you guys but if you're going to RH for dinner I'll pass. I'd rather have GOOD food if I'll be taking the night off work. So I think I'll have my friend take me to Tuna Town on Main Street, for sushi, drinks, etc. So if you all can get an itinerary together, I can meet up with everyone in HB (I'm sooo not a singer anyway) If you can allow so much time in each place instead of voting to stay or leave. I know there were others on the first crawl who joined later also.
A fond memory from the last crawl (where Sugar Caddy and I met up with the bus of drunks at Sam's) was Sven sitting next to me selling me on the idea that, you all, were an internet group of people into tiki (mind you, I was wearing a Hawaiian top, a tiki necklace, flowers in my hair, and a vintage fish tank purse) I said, "I know, I've talked with you before." Introductions came next... and Sven admitted that he thought I was a guy (from my TC posts.) Yes, it's nice to put faces to names.

Hey Laney,
Never been to Tuna Town, but we always go to The Longboard next door and Aloha Grill above. Do they have other food besides sushi? I hear that place is owned by the dude from Korn.
Anyhoo, I am in favor of a 3 bar stop thang (RH, Billy's & Sam's with Bong's Hut as the anchors). I am less interested in making a trek to some tiki type merchandise place in South County if such a place even exists.

Well, such a place does exist (which I think you would really enjoy) however, if you are not interested in checking it out then we'll leave it off the list. It looks like you have an itinerary all worked out already so why don't we just finalize it at that.
I've seen a few cool suggestions here (Lagoon Room, Harpoon Harry's, Sam's, etc) that I think would be cool to include but it seems like they're all being ignored.
So -- let me know what, where and when and I'll just go with whatever happens...

OK, before I start the list, this is how I see the gig shaping up: Meet at Bamboo Bens at 4:30; get on bus at 6:30 and sing like drunken sailors; hit Royal Hawaiian for a while; get back on bus and sing like drunken sailors; hit Billy's for a while; get back on bus and sing like drunken sailors; hit Sam's for a while; get on bus and throw up.
As Ali'i Ben says, the bus is a big part of the fun, and it's better than a condo in Totally Fucked-up-ville courtesy Newport PD. The bus holds 50 people, so we'll divide the cost among the riders.
If I added someone on the list that isn't going, let me know. Otherwise here it is:

Laney, Take the bus! Its what really makes the event! And don't worry about not singing, I don't sing, so I need a credible lip-sync partner to help fool the masses....!
Or, maybe I'll just go to Harpoon Harry's and moon y'all as ya roll by!

I'll cover the drinks at my hut, but the bus ride costs about $20 per person last time.
Also, if Madam and I decide not to have hot food, maybe some folks could bring chips, dip, and spam masubi!

How about Li's Egg Rolls!?
I'd be happy to bring 'em if that won't be too much trouble.

I would love to join you guys (and girls), but can't say for sure yet. Have to coordinate the Misses schedule and a babysitter. So maybe I'll meet up with you guys as you roll through Newport. Would love to actually meet some of you people face to face. Remember Ben pretend like we don't know each other, no stories about rakes and shovels.
