Then maybe a gathering in Burlington would be the ticket. Let me see a show of hands of those willing to make the trek to VT.

Now we're talking! I could not be more excited than to host my fellow tiki centralites for a night of aloha. Driving time from Boston 3.5hrs; from Montreal 1.5hrs; from Providence or NYC 5.0hrs; Portland, Maine 4.0hrs; Washington DC 13.0hrs; San Francisco 72.0hrs. I am about 100 yards from the Burlington Radisson Hotel. I can offer some very uncomfortable accomodations on a cold cement floor for free and there is a seedy motel a few blocks away if you don't mind commingling with the rent by the week crowd. These are the places within walking distance. All the other standard hotel/motels are within a 7 min drive from my place. Let me know if I can answer anymore questions.

I'm in the Hartford area, and I'm ready to make the 4.5 hour trip. I think this will be a great first step in getting the NorthEast tiki crowd together. Let's see, we have Rain, SES, cabernet, Midway Cafe... any others out there that want to be in the vanguard of the New England Tiki scene?

As noted in stentiki's post above, maybe we could get together at the Huke Lau in Chicopee on the 17th. Anyone else in?

Aloha gang,
Here is an update of my plans for next week:
Monday, 10/13 Boston - Dinner at Kowloon
Tuesday, 10/14 Boston - Dinner at Bali Hai
Wednesday, 10/15 Boston - Drinks at Tiki Room
Thursday, 10/16 Boston - All of the above 
Friday, 10/17 - Western MA - Evening at the Huki Lau? Or NYC
Saturday, 10/18 - NYC
Sunday, 10/19 - Stamford, CT
Monday, 10/20 - Stamford, CT
Tuesday, 10/21 - 10/24 Hartford Area
Friday, 10/24 - Fly Home to The OC
Saturday, 10/25 - Fly to Maui 
(just thought I'd throw that one in there!)
I currently have plans to drive down to NYC on October 17 but I could change my plans to meet at the Huki Lau in Chicopee if anyone is up for it. However, I need to know soon so I can make advanced plans.
Also, last year I went to the Huki Lau on a Friday night and they were packed! So we would need to set a time. I estimate that I could be there some time after 6 pm.
That's all for now. Lemmie know if you wanna meet.
Mahalo.

Arty,
you probably know that there's no tiki B-day bash anymore on Friday. I might be doing something small with my friends that night, but nothing is planned. If there's something going on, you're invited. sat night is my b-day and Benny is taking me to see Lewis Black and Dave Attel, so I'll be busy.

Dave Attel!
I love Dave Attel! I may have to crash that partay!
Actually, when I AM Dave Attel when I travel alone!
Maybe I'll see you in New York. I'll keep you posted.

With all my big talk... I don't think I'll be able to make it on the 17, but I am going to try to reschedule to make the Hukelau.
I'll keep you all informed.

Tikigreg & Kimo,
Aloha from your neck of the woods. This message comes to you courtesy of Kinko's, the Tiki traveler's best friend.
Anyhoo,
Primo, hope you can make it. I would be pleased to meet you (hope you guess my name!).
Tikigreg, it would be cool if we could catch "da show" at the Hu Ke Lau. I think we would definitely need reservations for that one. If not, we can always convene in the bar and have pupus and lapus while we watch the show through the glass window.
I'm thinking we might meet between 6:30 and 7:00 pm. This will give me time to check into my hotel and change from work clothes into the aloha wear.
Should be good fun. Looking forward to meeting you. I'll post again when I get a chance.
Mahalo.

Arty,
I made reservations for the show. Seating begins at 6 and the show starts at 7:30. We have reservation A21. Hope you can make it in time to order and eat before the show! Anyone else wanting to come, there's an extra spot at our table.
