Hi there everyone. I am really bummed that I missed the Drift Saturday night. We are in the process of moving and we just had too much to do.Which bums me out because I could have used a really big drink.
I am definately interested in more Tiki Events. Hopefully my back yard will be up for hosting some of them in the near future.

Arizona Tikiphiles are an elusive group. Witness here the group picture blurred to protect the identities of the guilty.
From left: MustDangSally, Cousin Dave, VWTikigirl and VWTikiboy and their tiki friends who have yet to be snared into the venerable universe that is Tiki Central.
If you look closely, Shecky #118 is standing proud next to the red U Bastard mug on the table. Shecky had to retreat to the side, the staff kept trying to clear him off the table!

Thanks Cultjam. That picture is pretty funny. Sure am glad we begged for that. haha. Oh well, we'll try again next time, which for all you AZ folks who missed the last one is going to be March 6th after Art Detour, we still need to decide on the details.

I just stumbled across this while I was researching art detour. Has anyone been to this before. It's 3/20-3/21 and looks pretty interesting.

Hello, Arizona!
So, glad to hear that your evening at Drift was a blast. I'll be in town for a couple days and would really dig meeting some of you. How's The Bikini Lounge on Monday evening, the 16th sound? I've never been there and would love to check it out. Feel free to reply here or send me an e-mail at weirduncletiki@yahoo.com Hope to see you there!
-Weird Unc
p.s. Sorry I couldn't be around over the weekend, but hopefully a Monday night will work out.

Hey Weird Unc,
Aloha! I'll be the first to throw my hula skirt into the ring for an uncommon Monday night out. Just to give you a heads up on what to expect with the Bikini Lounge-it's not the prettiest place nor in the most elegant 'hood of Phoenix, but it does have that nostalgic tiki feel to it. Plus, it lays claim to being the oldest tiki bar that currently exists in the Phoenix area. I would suppose that it will also be fairly mellow on a Monday night but then again; you never know, right? Most importantly though, at least a few of us true blue tikiphiles will be keepin' the tiki torch burning brightly!~~CD

Hey all,
Another quick announcement I had previously neglected to mention regarding a very interesting arts event(in the spirit of St. Valentine's Day)coming up this Friday night-check it out:
http://www.alwunhouse.org/exotic.html
Anyone ever been to this-extremely fun and outrageous! Hope to see some of you there~~CD

Good find VWTG, I hadn't heard of that festival. Didn't find much online info on Art Detour myself, but will plan on ending up at Bikini Lounge on the 6th.
Cousin Dave, Alwun house is a place you have to go at least once.

Wow, that Alwun House event looks like a "don't miss event." I went to an opening there several years ago and it's a very intriguing art space. Looking forward to seeing Cousin Dave and Cultjam. Sorry to miss you, Vwtikigirl. Have fun with the tumblers!

I just looked up the address for Bikini Lounge and came up with this: http://www.barstar.com/cgi-bin/phx_db/search.cgi?setup_file=details.setup.cgi&db_id=phx1014
Is that photo really what we can expect? I hope not, it looks too clean and wholesome!

Weird Unc,
No Worries-Wherever that bizarre photo came from, it definitely does not fit the ambiance of the Bikini Lounge! So for the 16th, is the plan to meet up at the B.L. at a given time, or would it be easier to rendezvous somewhere ahead of time first? Not sure how familiar you are with Phoenix-just let us know what you think is easiest for you~~CD

CultJam; That's exactly how Drift looked to me after a couple drinks. I'll only order one next time, otherwise I tip too generously.
Look at all these fun events. I'm so glad I joined up here. Can anyone tell me more about Art Detour? Who has attended one?
