I am normally too busy to do this myself, but most definitely! It's a great way for out-of-towners to experience Tiki in the SF Bay Area!

I'm trying to reserve a room, and the code isn't working. Anyone else having that problem?

The code is most definitely active by now. If you cannot get it to work online, then for now simply call the Phoenix Hotel and reserve your room with the code that way. Right now it's late Saturday night in the middle of a holiday weekend, but we'll look into it, see what the deal is, and get any problems resolved asap.

I called The Phoenix Hotel and the reservation agent wasn't able to find the Promo Code in their system. The reservation agent transferred me to another line and they were finally able to make the reservation. Room Rate was $139 plus tax for Thurs. and $159 for Fri. & Sat. plus tax. (Free Parking and continental breakfast included)

Okay, I just got off the phone with the General Manager of the Phoenix Hotel. They set up the promo code to be used only when you call in to make your reservation, but it's not set up for their website. The reason for this is that they don't have a very flexible website that would allow you to apply the promo code to your online reservation across various dates. So you must physically call the Phoenix Hotel at 1 800-248-9466 to use the promo code Tiki Crawl 8 when making your reservation.
I repeat, in order to get the promo code discount, you must call the Phoenix Hotel to book your reservation, and give them the promo code Tiki Crawl 8 over the phone when booking your reservation. Please be patient with the staff if they don't know about the promo code right away - the folks at the Phoenix Hotel are good people, so it might take an extra minute or two to set this up, but they will definitely be willing to help.
Also, the promo code discount applies to a couple of days before and after the crawl, to give you a discount in case you are coming in from out of town and want to start your vacation early, or extend it after the Crawl. So feel free to take advantage of that if you want to extend your stay for some added San Francisco Bay Area sightseeing fun and frolicking.

Getting all Sven-like this summer, I have to skip Tales of the Cocktail, Tiki Oasis, and Hot Rod Hula ope this summer, due to some intense work commitments.
I think that my long-overdue return to the Bay Area may very well happen this coming October.

We're working hard on the crawl itinerary, as well as some super cool stuff and surprises for the crawl. We're hoping to post a detailed schedule and itinerary on the website soon, as soon as we nail down a few details. So, this isn't the official word, but since the Phoenix Hotel is the official hotel of the Crawl, having the bus start there for Saturday sounds like the logical thing to do. Again, that's not the official word, yet. And Thursday is an entirely different matter all together!

I'm trying to see if I can swing this as I just found out Southwest has a "supersaver web" tickets for $49 one-way.
I need a little help. I checked the official TC Crawl site, I feel rather dumb, but couldn't find out what time the actual crawl starts on the 9th. I'm checking flights and checking to see if I should fly in on Wed. or Thurs morning.
