Barring unforseen obstacles (or more likely, some sort of incompetence on my part), I will be hitting the road towards my new life in California on the morning of November 3. My schedule puts me in the Bay Area the evening of Tuesday, Nov. 4, anyone wanna hang out with me? Mig had suggested the Conga Room, which I've never been to before, but I'm game for anything. I'll throw it out to you locals for discussion.
Looks like we're doing Trader Vic's, here's the roll call:
Humuhumu
thejab
Tiki-bot
mrspineapple
TikiMama
melintur
martiki6

Humu -
Too bad you're juuust missing Thrillville's screening of Casino Royale in Oakland that week, with a live performance by Project Pimento! That's just two days later on Thu 11/6, hosted by TC's AquaZombie. I'm bummed that I'm missing it too, traveling to glamorous Camp Lejeune, NC that week.
Quick aside to bay area people - highly recommended Jackie & the Cedrics show in SF that Saturday, Nov 8!! Japanese surf-a-boing-boing.
-Randy
Late addition: Don't wanna hijack this thread any further, so additional info about the Cedrics' shows is in a Beyond Tiki thread:

I say we meet at Trader Vic's. Vic's has some drink specials on weeknights lately, you can't beat the atmosphere, and they LOVE us there! Tonga Room is another option - they have happy hour on weeknights 5-7. You pick Humuhumu, and I'll be there.
Jackie and the Cedrics are coming back - yaay! Thanks for the info Randy.

Vic's or Tonga sound great....
But I just might open the Foggy Grotto if there's enough interest.
(If people don't wan't to come out to the Richmond, just say so- I won't be hurt)
Thoughts?

Either Vic's or Tonga sound great. My memories of the Tonga Room are hazy at best ('cept for the coat check girl -- she was wild). When I was at Vic's, we were in the bar, and I'd love to spend time in the dining room this time.
Since I'll be wanting to get a hotel near wherever we meet, I might prefer Vic's, since it'll be so much more affordable. If anyone wants to split the room with me & not worry about having to drive until the next morning, you're welcome to share. Slumber party! I'll wear my Vic's PJs!
Martiki - I'd *love* to hang out in the Foggy Grotto beforehand, but is it a rough drive from there to Vic's during rush hour?

If you want to stay near Trader Vic's the Holiday Inn Emeryville is your best bet. It's around $100 but it has great views from the rooms. It's an easy pleasant walk from Vic's.

Let's plan on Trader Vic's. Does 6pm work for everyone? I'd like to get the time nailed down quickly so I can send a message out to the Bay Area party list. I've started a roll call, give a shout here in the thread if you haven't already so I can get an accurate head-count for the reservation.
Martiki: I remember you got a reservation at TVs the last time I came through, and we ended up having to do the bar instead of the dining room -- do you remember why?

6PM is fine. They are real accomodating lately about sitting in the dining room. It used to be strictly for dinner service but the last time Formikahini was here, they allowed us to sit in the dining room with her even if we weren't eating. Just tell them Tiki Central and you shouldn't have a problem especially on a Tuesday.

6pm sounds good to me- not sure I'll be in town, but I'll try. I'll be happy to talk to them for you and get a reservation- just gimme a head count.
Rum Barrels for all!
