This month at Tiki Taix, our main event is a once in a lifetime attraction from the world of Miehana’s Musical Mele! The largest and most in depth Enchanted Tiki Room salute in the world will be brought to you by Miehana as we fondly remember the magic.
AND!
Rodd Grogg reporting live from The Enchanted Tiki Room on its last night via Satellite. This will be one of Rodd Grogg’s biggest reporting assignments ever as he will have the exclusive story on the demise of Walt Disney’s own personal favorite attraction. This is his first time back to Adventureland since he covered the closing of the Tahitian Terrace.
ALSO!!
King Kukulele and The Friki Tikis will perform songs by request. “Name any song ever written”! Tiki Tarmu will be mesmerizing the night with his personal brand of vibrophonic magic. “Whats wrong with playing the vibes all day?” -Tarmu
PLUS!
PART II OF:
On February 3rd, 1961 Mrs. E.G Barber (nicknamed Marty) and her friend Mrs. B.E. McDougall boarded the S.S. Oriana in Vancouver Canada, bound for Honolulu. While out at sea, they were invited to celebrate the birth of Katherine Mellard, she was born on February 9th, 1861 and was turning 100. Katherine took Marty and her friend B.E. back a 100 years to the mid 1800’s. Now Marty will take you back nearly half a century to WaiKiKi with her immense scrapbook. This time capsule is too huge to see in one night...so lets just take a peek. We have Marty’s souvineers from Martin Denny, Webley Edwards, and Walt Disney. -----1961!
AND!
The debut presentation of an award winning commercial featuring King Kukulele. Don’t miss this chance to see director Gavin Carlton’s winner of “Best Commercial” at the 2004 Valley Film Festival in a rare public showing.

Here comes THE RETURN OF EXOTICA KARAOKE!!!!!
PLUS!
Our monthly installment of “Mai-TaiKus”.
Join us for this one night only night one time. We'll be at Tiki Taix 1911 Sunset Blvd. in Echo Park 90026 One block north of the lagoon.

Hey, although I know I won't be able to attend this time (King Kukulele has already recieved an explanation), I highly reccomend the event. The more TC memebers that show up the more fun the event is, so try to make it if you can...

suburbanpagan!! If you drove past Taix on Sunset Blvd. then you also drove past the Lemoyne Lanai which is about 2 blocks away. It will be great to have you there.
Floratina - "Shakalolo" might find its way into the set list if I can just remember how it goes...
