Looks closer than the Mai Kai for sure. On the airport direction from the event hotels.

As always Room 130 will be open to our friends and FOM anytime. Perhaps it would be a good gathering point for those interested in the after-party. Just watch out for broken glass....

Google maps takes you 'round the arse to get to the elbow on the direx from the Cabana to the KreepyTiki. Looks like a short trip from Cabana if you go south on Sea Breeze then west on SE 17th st.

Its a very short ride. If you are coming in thru FTL airport you will pass it on the way to the YC. When you come over the overpass for 595 it will be one of the first buildings on the right. Can't miss it! Look for the choppers and Roller Rink. The front is painted with their logo and many other interesting images. Cool shop!

hey peeps me and Talani, Loon, and the rest of the fam. are currently trying to see if we can push this thing of ours later in the evening to not make it a problem with Hukilau . I would personally have this today if i could but the fact that its not a kreepytiki only event and the fact that we put this together for them makes it hard to move around because these people have jobs and are not available to be here sunday (fathers day) so we really want to make it all work out and we will try to make sure nobody gets effed! in all this.

digitiki so sorry you feel that way . i guess you didnt read the fact that this party we are having is gonna go on late and you can rest assure that our intentions are not to harm hukilau . but you are entitled to your opinion and conclusions as is everyone else. believe me that this is not a "leech" attempt as i am not charging or selling shit in fact im giving away things(not just my time)along with a bunch of other good people . do what you want but to keep these people in the dark for whatever reason is not in the spirit of things. if you or anyone here attends this you will see that this is not any kind of profiteering so to call it "leeching" is actually uncalled for , furthermore I can assure you that Hukilau attendees are not the only people who care about this.

I have stayed silent until now. This is purely a statement of how it is. This is NOT a Hukilau After Party - those will happen all night at the Cabana. This is a direct hit to the event.
I know that Kreepytiki didn't plan this party to intentionally harm me or Hukilau but their actions could quite possibly have a crucial financial effect on this event. You see, when you use a hotel you sign a contract for a minimum amount of food and beverage sales, on top of that you pay a rental fee for the room. The ONLY person financially responsible is me - Christie White, the producer. No one else writes the checks or pays for anything. If I don't meet the minimum then I have to pay the amount for which we are short. With Kreepytiki giving a FREE (and I have to say incredibly awesome show) this will cut out my possible local ticket sales and as some of you have already stated - you'll be going also. Would you go to a free party that resembles EVERYTHING Hukilau or would you go to Hukilau that costs you $25? Exactly.
I have cancelled the ballroom show at the Bahia Mar and we will now celebrate at the Bahia Cabana again on Friday night. The minimum and the rental approaches $10,000. I cannot chance the risk. I sincerely apologize if this dissapoints anyone but I cannot face a financial ruin this year and the "After" party is certain to draw people away - people=revenue. Even if people leave an hour early to attend their party - that's an hour that people are not drinking - even 30 people would make a significant impact on the numbers.
I'm not quite sure what this will do for the Charles Phoenix show, I will have to announce that later, but the show WILL GO ON!!!! I have spoken with the bands for Friday nights performances, with Torchy Taboo and the sound company and they are all behind me. I have spoken with the Mai-Kai and they are 100% behind the Hukilau event.
This is unfortunate as Kreepytiki has been with Hukilau since the beginning in Atlanta. We have nothing but Aloha spirit between us. I just wish they would've asked me what was best. Did Jaksin from Kreepytiki Tattoo contact me? Yes he did. Did he tell me what they were planning? No, not even close. Did we discuss date/time? No, absolutely not. I wasn't even given a chance. I would've loved to have supported this party and attended myself but I'd much rather be with the ohana at the Cabana that Friday night and with the entertainers that have come such a long way to put on a show for us. After all folks, this is our last year to enjoy it.
Details and all of these changes will be announced via the newslist and at Hukilau Registration. That's my 2cents on the matter.
We will all have an incredible time - I'm hoping for your support.

Wow - i just got the email that Christie has to now cancel the Friday night show of the very last Hukilau thanks to this conflict.
Nice work dick-heads.

Nicely phrased, Christie.
I, for one, am going to pass on this "After Party." I personally feel this separate event could have been scheduled for another day and time -thus, not hurting the main events at Hukilau that count on every bit of attendance. If only all of you knew the amount of planning and sweat that goes into just this one night alone.
Have a nice time. I'll be supporting The Hukilau's officially sanctioned events on this last voyage.
*EDITED to correct spelling.

Personally, I've always enjoyed the Friday night events at the Bahia Mar....tables, chairs, indoors...I hope the weather is good both nights at the Cabana. I admit I'm disappointed with this change but will not be discouraged.
No wonder Christie is making this the final Hukilau...I can't imagine dealing with this kind of aggravation.
