Ok, we can make it on the 30th, but it has to be kind of on the late side. Got the super-birthday bash until about 6/7pm, then can go wherever we need to. We'll be in Clinton, CT...close to New Haven, but can shoot up 95 to the Boston area pretty quick.
I'm thinking Tiki Port is a little out of the way for so late(haven't been there in a few years, hope it hasnt devolved anymore), but if everyone else is into it I dont want to stop a trip, so we'll just catch the next one.....which will be the grand re-opening of the Lono Lounge I guess.
Speaking of which....as a PSA, Save the date!! OCT 21st!!! The Lono Lounge Re-Opens!!!
Free Grog, Grub, & Goodies!!!
Live Exotica Music to be provided by WAITIKI!!!!!!
Thats right, you read that right....friggin Waitiki will be in my backyard for 3 mind numbing sets!! NO EXCUSE to not see these guys now! They're amazing!
Souvenier Mugs from Tiki Farm!!!
Food smothered in MSG!!!!!
Punish your liver! Bring your Kids!
Donations gladly accepted, but not required.
I'm working on a full invite right now that'll post in a seperate thread in events, but I figured I'd give my Ohana a heads up first.
I hope/expect to see you all there...uhh..here, I mean.
And maybe see everyone on the 30th....late.

I may just have to come out of self-imposed exile to catch the Grand Re-opening!

Bargoyle you've made my night. The grand reopening of the Lono Lounge is going to be one killer event. Mugs and WAITIKI you say? You can pretty much count on Miss and I making it for sure!
Pappy I won't be able to roll out of town for the 30th, but if all else fails let me know and I'll meet you at the Wu.

Hey Bargoyle,
I just moved back to NE from Long Beach - haven't met any of you NE tikis yet. Would love to attend the bash you've got coming up. Can I get on the mailing list for potential invites? Thanks and hope to meet you

jpmartdog, you are most definately invited. And as far as a mailing list....this is kind of it.
Just solidifying some stuff with the band & other loose ends before official big announcement. I'll post that in its own thread.
Once again, attendence by the NE Ohana is mandatory.
Now, what about the 30th?

I've decided that I have to take Oct. 21 off from gigging.
I won't be able to live with myself if I miss this bash!
Are there any cool motels near the Lono Lounge?

Good point Granite Tiki - a motel ( nearby ) is of extreme importance

There are a few hotel/motles nearby. The closest are the Tolland Inn B&B ( http://www.tollandinn.com/ ) or the Old Babcock Tavern B&B (860-875-1239). Both are in Tolland, within a few miles of the Lono Lounge.
Theres also an econolodge in Willington (next town over).
Vernon, a bit further, has a comfort inn, hojos, and holiday inn express; and Manchester has all the major hotel/motel chains (courtyard, etc) and is about 15 mins up the highway.
My yard is big enough that if anyone want to pitch a tent & camp, that'd work.
Plus we've got 2 extra bedrooms (i think one is taken) and plenty of couch/floor space.
If you drink enough, even the bathtub offers a comfortable evening's rest!
I should be posting the official invite next week, and ask that you PM me if your comming. We're thinking about having this one catered, so I'll actually be able to spend some time with everyone rather than cooking all day!! But catering means I'll need a pretty acurate headcount.
Looking forward to seeing everyone!

I think we stayed at the EconoLodge when we were at Bargoyle Bday bash last year. It wasn't bad and the price was right (think it was 60 or so). The tent idea is sounding pretty good though:)
Well the Wu is a go for Saturday if you guys want to go. A couple of our friends are coming as well and we were going to adjurn back to the pre-Krakatoa Room (my current "tikish" bar) after dinner. All are welcome of course. Bargoyle - we'll just plan on a little later supper so we can meet you there around 8.
Well we just got back from Haverhill MA and I'm wiped. I have a report on Oriental Garden and some pics so stay tuned!

I've been waiting all day for the Haverhill update... Good news or bad news it's really close by so I'll go if it's cool & stay away if it's not...

Here's what you've been waiting for Tikisrl - the review of Oriental Gardens!
http://www.tikiroom.com/tikicentral/bb/viewtopic.php?topic=21185&forum=2&start=last&1
I stole your pictures so I could justify adding it to locating tiki. The new pictures would never allow it! Yes, sad to say we've found another victim of the de-tikification of New England. Enjoy!
