Aloha everyone!
The very fine folks at Tiki Magazine want the Denver Ohana to be aware of their support and have sent a number of nice giveaways that I'll have available at the party this weekend. Denver Ohana gets first dibs, but I'll be making the rest available to those attending after sundown. Zulu and Matterhorn PM me your addresses and I'll make sure get a few of each.
Furthermore, to bring a little tiki education to the masses, Tiki Magazine has also sent along a number of current and back issues for our party-goers perusal.
Finally, make sure to wear your aloha best as pictures of the Ohana will be taken for possible publication in the Fall issue. Fink, if you send me shots of your party, I'll make sure they accompany mine.
Mahalo!

I got this cool idea from Zulu and I would like to put this out to to the Denver Ohana for your imput. During the planning stages of the Tiki Fink Luau, Zulu mentioned to me that an outdoor movie would make a nice addition to the Luau. I was concerned about space around my Tiki bar area so I decided that it might prove impractial.
I really love the idea of a more casual gathering where Tiki or beach theme movie is shown outdoors. Outside the context of a larger party with food and all the trappings, my home bar is ideal for just such an event. Substitute the catering for popcorn and walllla.
I am thinking about a date in mid to late August. The first movie would be From Hell it Came . Comments? Ideas? Questions?

Thank goodness someone took pictures. After my second Adventureland Punch the video recorder in my head became severely de-magnetized. Wow. I wonder how my bar looks on film. With people and everything..

A quick musical request.
Though the tiki music selection at the party should be fairly diverse, I'm hoping that someone might have a CD of classic surf guitar music that they could bring. The only tracks I currently have of this style are from the Pulp Fiction CD and I'd like to offer a little more variety.
Oh and if anyone has the actual Tiki Room song and might be willing to share, that would be mucho appreciated.
Mahalo!

I like the movie idea Fink!
Here's some ideas on what you could call it.
-MasterFink Theatre
-MasterFink's Tiki Theatre
Both should only be verbalized using a stuffy brit accent
-Fink's Tiki Flicks

Aloha Eleio,
I would just like to RSVP for myself and the girlfriend for this Saturday. I haven't posted here but am a big fan of the site and am always on the lookout for Tiki in Denver.
I'd be more than happy to bring my Dick Dale surf guitar CD and let me know it there is anything else you may need.
Mahalo,
ScottyTiki

Aloha everyone!
I'm neck deep in prep, so this will be my final reminder for the party tomorrow.
Come one, come all, come have a ball at the Tiki Party tomorrow!
*Please see previous posts for info*
If you can't make it, then may your travels be safe and untroubled this weekend.
If you can, then you will be welcomed to our humble celebration with open arms, good food and cold libations.
Mahalo!
-Eleio
PS-ScottyTiki: Thanks for the offer of using the Dick Dale CD! Just bring it to the bar and I'll include it in the line-up.

Thanks for the shindig! It was fun hanging out in your Tiki Scene. The ambiance really worked well. After dark that place makes for a pretty rockin' paradise.

Aloha to everyone and a big thank you to those who attended the party!
A lot of creative thinking, a good amount of elbow grease and an excellent group of new tiki enthusiasts made for a most enjoyable and memorable Tiki party. Enchanted by exotica music and surrounded by tiki decor, cold tiki drinks were enjoyed and many festive conversations were had as the pig roasted and the palm trees swayed. After a delicious island themed feast, the lights dimmed, the torches were lit and a darker, more exotic atmosphere permeated the celebration. Finally, after serving many more drinks to our guests and even offering a few of them as sacrifice to the volcano *smile*, the time sadly approached for torch lit farewells and dreams of future exotic revels to come.
The effort was not perfect in every sense, but the enthusiasm was plentiful and the intent was sincere. In addition to The Book of Tiki, generously donated copies of Tiki Magazine were also on hand that delighted and enlightened many an attendee. Because of this, the world of Tiki has been opened to some and further explored by many others.
Thanks for the kind words Fink. It was great being able to chat some more with you and throw around some ideas for future tiki revels.
Oh, and one last party related item. Our enthusiasm got the best of my friends and I and we bought about twice as much party supplies as we used. Therefore, at the suggestion of a few of our guests, we'll not be taking down decorations and boxing up tiki mugs. Nosireebob! Don't hang up your leis just yet. We're oiling up the torches, cutting up more fruit for garnish and our humble tiki party, featuring Eleio's Lost Island Lounge, will have one last summer hurrah! Mark your calendars as we'll be offering our final dose of aloha attitude on Saturday, August 5th for *Tiki Party 2: Exotica Boogaloo (6:30pm-?). No costs for drinks (donations will be accepted if we begin to run a little dry) and we'll be offering the best Chinese that will deliver to the site (donations will be gratefully accepted).
What can I say? We don't want the magic to end.
Anyway, thanks again and Mahalo!
*If sane minds prevail, we may not call the party by this name.
