Aloha! Drew and I will be up in Seattle for Bumbershoot on 08/31 and 09/01. We were planning on finally making it to Hula Hula the night of 08/31 and thought some other tiki lovers might want to meet there as well. Or maybe some of you know of some other good tiki going on over Memorial weekend. Let me know. Thanks, in advance!

Hula Hula's entertainment manager/co-owner asked me if Lushy would be interested in playing on September 1st, but Andy (of Lushy) said he wasn't interested, as Lushy will be playing Bumbershoot the previous day. I've no idea if I'll be sitting in with them at Bumbershoot (me being the secondary to their original percussionist, and usually asked to play when he cannot perform), but I am currently trying to arrange for some appropriate live entertainment at Hula Hula on September 1st, perhaps my newest group, The Band From U.N.C.L.E. I'll post an announcement on TC as soon as something is arranged.

The show I was organising at Hula Hula on September 1st has been postponed for a later date. Anyway, hope you enjoy your visit to Hula Hula on the 31st, and I hope you like Karaoke with your Mai Tais!

"Escape" aka The Pina colada song by Rupert Holmes.

That's right, Tiki Kupcake, Bumbershoot weekend and Labour Day will make the Lower Queen Anne area an absolute zoo and commuter's and car parker's nightmare (which is why I'm now glad the event I was going to put together there has been postponed). As you will already be there with Drew, my advice would be pay for all day event parking and just walk over to Hula Hula when your intended Bumbershoot viewing is over with. You won't wish to find parking twice in one day (and most likely it will be paid parking) in that area, unless you have a lot of time and petrol to waste. 'Course I don't know -- perhaps you'll be taking a taxi from wherever you're staying to attend Bumbershoot. It's also possible -- pending the time of day and considering all the walk and drive-by traffic from out-of-towners -- that Hula Hula could be a zoo, as well. 'Course, what better place to make monkey noises and bird calls?

Yeah, we will be at Bumbershoot and just planned on walking over to Hula Hula when it was over. At least we will get to see Lushy at the festival. Where's the 50's dinner? We always need somewhere good to eat for breakfast.
