Cinco de Mayo!!
May 5th is the day of our official gathering of Texas Tikiphiles at Trader Vic’s in Dallas.
Details are still being worked out, but the plan is for everyone to arrive and meet at the bar between 5:00 and 7:00 with dinner starting around 7:00.
This is something we have been ready to do for a couple of years and now that Trader Vic’s has opened the timing is PERFECT. If you're from out of town or out of state and have been wanting to see the new/old Vic's this is the time to visit!
I need an approximate head count to make the reservations which I’d like to do by the first week of April or so. If you think you can come, respond to this thread so we can start our guest list.
The list so far:
Unkle John + guest
Rugbymatt + guest
Formikahini
Kenike + guest
Dobrolic + 2 guests
Benehune + guest
Rumbuddy + 3 guests
Calldon + guest
Limbo Lizard + guest
Don D'Ablo + guest
PremEx
blixathecat + guest

Yee-Haw! Glad I planned my return to the Big-D for that weekend. I am looking forward to meeting all the Tejas Ohana.

Thanks to everyone who responded to my PM's. Looks like it's going to be a small party but it will most definitely be a blast! Finalizing reservations this weekend.
Where's all the Dallas ohana that COULDN'T WAIT for Trader Vic's to open so we could have a party?

Kenike,
My wife and I will try to make it if we can find a sitter. If not, I will beg my wife to let me go alone.

Woohoo! Add two to the list for Dallas May 5. My husband and I just went Saturday night and I can't wait to go back for more tiki puka puka etcetera! After a few sips of one, I can't talk straight but I'm sure I'll have the best time!

I'm torn!
Part of me hopes we'll be a large group, and part of me hopes we're small enough to fit into the cool private room (a 10-seater?)!
Oh well, we win either way!
Counting the days.....

Welcome Rumbuddy! FINALLY....someone else from the Dallas area.
Our reservations are in the Puka Room which is the room in the back behind the main dining room.

Yes, Kenike, I am here, practically your neighbor, I live in Allen. I was on Tiki Central and believe we briefly met here a while back (one year? two years? I dunno where the time goes)when I first found the site and was dumbfounded that I was not the only tiki crazy person. None of my friends get it. I couldn't even talk them into coming to Trader Vic's with us, can you believe it? I told my husband we would just need to make some tiki friends at the bar, and here you all are, just another cocktail away.

GROG wish GROG could join ya'll but GROG will be finishing up this damned Simpsons movie. GROG originally from Texas, grew up down near San Antonio. GROG went to east Texas State University in Commerce (now a division of A&M), just east of Dallas. GROG have a number of old college buddies and people that GROG worked with that still live in Dallas area, and a sister and her family that live outside of Dallas.
Ya'll have fun, and eat some Bluebell Icecream and some good Texas Barbecue for GROG.
