Just when you thought it might not get any crazier...
I received an unbelievable email today - holy schnikees!!
Next year's event might blow the doors off of this year's Bash!
That's all for now - more as/if it becomes available. If it happens, I am confident that all of you will be very stoked!

I'm lettin' the cat out of the bag...
Since the Bash I've been contacted by the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Vegas's VP of Entertainment/Creative Services. The Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Vegas is very interested in sponsoring next year's Tiki Bash with a tikified poolside prelude leading up to a full-on tiki concert at "The Joint" hopefully headlined by Brian Setzer. Trader Vic's will again be present, too!
As it stands, the Farm will be coordinating all branded merchandise & artists cooperation as well as helping out in general grounds decor and event "flow". Although the Bash was fun, the "flow" could have been better - I learned a few things for sure.
If you're familiar with the Hard Rock's poolside grounds, then you know that it is primed for a major tiki invasion. A labyrinth of swim-up bars & gaming tables, lagoons, sandy beaches, streams, 2 stages, underwater speakers, palapa huts & giant palms are what you'll find poolside.
The date is tentatively set for the Saturday of Easter Weekend. I should receive the final word by mid-week... it's not definite yet so for now I'm just waiting for an answer. The event will be renamed and all future events will take on the new name:
MONDO TIKI

sweet.....right in my own back yard 
would it still be a semi private party, or would hardrock have a say being able to invite anyone else at there discretion, i.e comps for hi roller or something?

Just a quick note to let you all know that it is too early to answer any questions regarding this possible event - I don't have any additional information as it get's decided on this week by HR corporate. If this thing happens, there'll definitely be enough information both on our site and the hard rock website to answer all of the questions.
Best,
Holden

After I return from business in San Francisco next Tuesday, I will post-up all of the details! Everything is about 90% ink'd! The event will start at Noon and go through 11pm, poolside at the Hard Rock. Unfortunately, the Hard Rock backed-out on Setzer so it will be entirely poolside but with much more than originally anticipated! There's a tremendous amount going on with this event with musical acts, crazy vintage tiki slideshows, fire jugglers, hula dancers, tiki vendors, crazy grounds decor, top shelf cocktails, Shag swag, event "goodie bags", dj, tini bikini wahine competition, Shag chips & gaming layout launch. We've registered www.mondotiki.com and should have a website up by March 1 w/all the details. I've blocked 100 rooms at $159/each (vs. $209 at the HR for that weekend) and will post up all of the info at the mondotiki website. I'll post more info after I return on Feb. 19th!

Sat. night at the bar where I work I had a non-tikifile friend tell me that he heard that Brian Setzer was playing the last night of VLV at The Joint. I though they backed out? Holden please update us. I'd love to go to VLV but have seen some of the bands (some at a wedding, if you can believe it) and am more interested in tiki events.
I'm Orthodox so the Easter thing isn't a problem (it's the next week) But I'd like to maybe get a group together????????

Laney, the last time I talked to Holden, he said that Setzer wasn't going to play because of his management. I guess they need to know about a couple of months or so in advance when he's gonna play so that press and advertising can be done properly. Of course Holden and I both thought that on a weekend like VLV and the Mondo thing, Setzer filling the Hard Rock would not even kind of be a problem. Oh well...
