Aloha all. Just caught Lushy again in Seattle at the Seattle Art Museum on Thursday night. They were sooo good; they played the whole set from the Oasis, at least. But you should have seen the rain! Must admit I'm patiently awaiting their reappearance a bit later in the "summer" months. Their sound is 50 degrees hotter than the weather in this damn town!

And let's not forget The Big, Mysterious, Tiki Grab Boxes of Mystery! Nobody knows what treasures might be found inside these mysterious boxes (of mystery). A previously unknown Ren Clark mug? An original, hand-painted Trechikoff? The pickled and preserved brain of Trader Vic? Get real! But there will be surprises galore in store for the lucky winner of one of these exciting, mysterious collections...
...of MYSTERY!
And you can't win if you don't buy a ticket to the crawl! How can you sleep at night thinking about how good your chances might be to win one of these fabulous prizes, if only you'd get around to buying your crawl ticket? Face it, you can't! So get on over to http://www.nwtiki.com and get your tickets now! NOW, I say! Don't put your family through another day of this sweating, maddening uncertainty! You owe it to your loved ones to BUY A TICKET NOW! We only say it because we care about you. You know that, don't you?
Hugs,
TikiMaxton

TIKI GRAB BOXES OF MYSTERY?!? YUM!!!
Couldn't resist. Just bought my full-package ticket.
But hey, you knew I was coming anyway, right? lol That little taste of PortlandTiki last month merely whetted my appetite!
Hotelwise, I genuinely endorse The Palms. It's shabby but clean, the fridge and microwave concept rules, the bathtub was entertainingly weird, and, most of all, the SIGN is a religious experience.
(What I especially enjoyed is that the owner totally agrees with me about that! He will happily give you a snapshot of it and tell you about his plans to make the monkey move UP and DOWN the tree!)
And besides, it's SO DAMNED CHEAP!!! which leaves more $$ for thrifting and drinking...AND AND AND it's ACROSS THE STREET from the Alibi! 'nuff said.
Maxtons, Tikimama and Melintur, MrTikibar and SparkleGem and family--I am very much looking forward to seeing you all again!

Thanks for the hotel info everyone! After weighing all the options and everyone's helpful reviews, I think I'll go for the Palms myself...especially after seeing that cool sign!
I found their web page with a pic of the sign, here 'tis.

I'm looking forward to meeting you all at the Crawl! Cheers! K

Tikivixen--you were a selling point of the event for me--I booked after I saw you were going! I look forward to meeting you...shall I expect you to be wearing red?  I have recruited my sister so far and possibly a friend that lives in Vancouver and I gave someone else a kick in the pants so he'll buy his ticket.
Does anyone know the TIMES that the events start? What time are we to meet at the Alibi on Saturday? What time does the Home Bar Tour start and where do we meet on that? Since I am trying to coordinate things I need to know this info (I didn't see it on the web...direct me to it if it's posted somewhere). Thanks so much!!

arrrrgh,
wish I was gonna be in town for that!
Made it down to Portland this last weekend, and FINALLY got to see the Alibi. WONDERFUL! Mai Tais were tasty, but
WEAK!!! dernit. 3 of em didn't do anything to me. fooey. But Karaoke was fun, and I took some pix. On the way out, i got a great pic of the Palms. Looked much nicer and cleaner than their site shows. I'll post it soon I hope. Didn't see any tiki folks from the board, but did see the NW tiki crawl posters. SPiffy! Did git to have food from Noho's, YUMMMMMY.
Anyhow, have a great time at the crawl. I'll be sippin mai tais that weekend in Indiana. Fellow TC member Mattfink will probably be there too. We'll toast to the Crawl!
