Awesome party C-Al! Thanks for inviting us! It was great to see Tehani again, doing her fire poi-balls!! Scary stuff!
Afterwards as I was packing up my gear(we had to cut out early for another gig) I was rewarded with the romantic, haunting, nostaligic and exotic strains of the always excellent Tikiyaki orchestra! Damn, those guys are simply the best there is. Jonpaul's bass playing just kills. Squid, again, never needs an additional percussionist. Marty Lush...great picture of him "in the moment". The keyboard player, and Jim, all I can say is "wow"!! Can't wait for the new CD!!

Al & Friends -
Thank You for a terrific evening, I had a cozy time last Saturday night at Bahooka. Al, you were/are great; Bouncing from one group to the next but very approachable at any given moment...a consummate host towards everyone.
Cheers! must be granted all around for everyone who contributed time and effort to pull this off - I really appreciate all the hard work that this demanded. Same goes to the staff of Bahooka. I have never been to the restaurant when it was so busy, and I had no trouble with the service.
I'm lucky to live in So. Cal with such hi-tone tiki around me.
My friend Melany, who had never been to a tiki event before, stated in the car on the way home that night: " What a comfortable group of people..I feel like I've known everyone for years".
'nuff said.

Yeah thank you C'Al you rock!! Thank you for putting this shindig on. I really needed a night out with all of my friends and some great tunez!! Seeing all of your work together is beautiful and overwhelming at the same time. I am looking forward to seeing what you come up with next. Good Tymes!!

Great Night !
Props :
C'Al - man of the hour. Thanx for letting us be a part of this event. With the Kona gig and now this, I think the combination of Crazy Al and Tikiyaki makes for a great evening. AMAZING mugs and Tikis. I'm still obsessing over those 2 4 ft tikis that were outside. Man, they look like they came out of some 50 yr old restaurant...really classic. And those lava mugs....what can I say ? Thanx man. So, What are we doin next ?
Hula Girls - Man I dig it ! Thanx for a great set. The combination of rockabilly, surf and Hawaiian Swing is a nice one. Let's do some more shows.
Tehani - Was she great or what ?
Bahooka - OK, let me just say that the staff at this place is amazing. The were actually taking drink orders from people in the parking lot ! These people are on it, and REALLY nice. They let us do whatever we wanted, and I can't tell you how many times I was asked if I wanted my soda refilled....this is starting from about 3 in the afternoon ! The managment at "that other place" we play at needs to come to Bahooka and get schooled on how to run an an event like this. Bravo!
One thing I learned - The Brady Bunch Tiki I was wearing really IS Taboo ! My pedalboard stopped working, even though I had it fixed during soundcheck. SO my Mojo was a little off because of it. I hope no one noticed. All I can say to that is....doodle-oodle-ooooh!
Well, I sure had a great time. Thanx to everyone who made it out, and to the rest of the Yakis' for a great set.

One thing I noticed was the extreme friendliness of the staff. I had read bad reviews on the food on some other sites, but as friendly as they are, they got my business for life. The female bartender was one of the nicest, friendliest people I have met in that kind of position. Nothing was a problem for her, even though she was busy. A second guy behind the bar also kept on asking me "You been taken care of yet?" I was totally impressed. It's like they want your business, and want to be helpful and friendly.
Not to totally knock Kona, but they have had some really rude staff there in the past. Especially one shaved headed bartender, who has the worst attitude. It is the same attitude you would expect to find in some trendy hollywood club. I don't like it.
