Sounds good to me. The new and improved 'OnaTiki lounge should be done by then and we can be a stop on the crawl.
We also have one, and maybe by then, two guest rooms to offer.

Are the rumours regarding Islands closing still swirling? I stopped by this past weekend and, happily, it remains relatively intact. However, the hotel was not crowded.
Freddiefreelance,
What is the tiki bike tour?
Is that lying to the staff at the Half Moon Inn to use their bikes to cruise around Shelter Island (like I did)?

The San Diego Tiki Bike Tour is in PB (Pacific Beach), it's run by Marc Menkin ((858) 488-2209, I think). It's just one of many Tiki related activities in San Diego that people can do when not sitting in Tiki Bars inbibing rum-based concoctions.

So far I'm just throwing the idea out, I may not even be able to attend depending on when we have our Gran'Daughter for the weekend! I just wanted to start the dialog right now so that people could say "The third weekend of March is bad, that's 'Tiki Torch Nights' in Atlanta" or "The last Thursday of the month is Tiki Taix & people may want to go there & then travel down to San Diego on Friday." I know March 27th is Johnnie Velour's anniversary & I wouldn't want to step on their toes by saying that weekend. I'd say the last weekend of February or the first 2 weekends in March, unless there's an overwhelming response to move it to the beginning of April (According to SugarCaddyDaddy's Hoity-Toity Calendar the last weekof April includes "Martini & Manicure Night" at the Purple Orchid, the Tiki-Ti's 43rd anniversary, & Tiki Taix! Sounds like a good time for an LA event, hint, hint).
Like I said at the top of the previous paragraph I may not even be able to attend: as much as I'd like to see an SD Tiki Crawl happen my family, & especially my Gran'Daughter, comes first. I wanted to start the dialog, & I'll be glad to help anyway I can with planning, organizing & set-up, but at the last minute I may have to drive up to Pomona & spend the weekend in LA playing with an almost-2-year-old. There are plenty of Hoity-Toities in SD, OC & LA with experience running something like this & I'll have to defer to them to run this show.

Monkeyman,
The last San Diego event we had was a Mini-Crawl consisting of Cocktails at The Lagoon Room, Dinner at The Islands restaurant at the Hanalei Hotel and Drinks at The Bali Hai on Shelter Island.
I finished the weekend with my family with breakfast at the Half Moon Bay/Humphries before an afternoon at Sea World (they have a section full of A-Frames and a gift shop packed with Tiki Farm stuff).
I know that Al and I also talked about getting together for the annual Oceanside Luau at the pier - sometime around the summer.

Great events! Here's another weekend suggestion:
FRIDAY - CITY:
PB Tiki Bike ride day.
Rendezvous at the Moai poolside at the Hanalei;
Exotic drinks and pupus inside at Islands; then
Mr. Tiki's Mai Tai Lounge in the Gaslamp.
SATURDAY-SHELTER ISLAND
Rendezvous at Humphrey's Half Moon Inn in the tiki gardens (the hotel would have to set up a bar & tiki torches);
Meander past the Menehune fence and amazing A-frame architecture to Trader Morts (group photo between the tiki and tiki torches);
Exotic drinks and pupus back at the Bali Hai;
Past the tremendous A-Frame portal at Humphrey's - dancing to MaKai disco band
(Maybe they will let the King, Cherry Capri & others perform, also)
SUNDAY - HOME BAR TOURS
This works particularly well on a 3 day weekend such as President's Day or MLK day.

I'm pretty much down with the schedule except I think we should pay a visit to Albee's Beef Inn for a taste of the classic "businessman's 3 martini lunch" cocktail lounge experience (it's pracically right across the freeway from the Hanalei). It's the perfect place to order a Manhatten, push your hat back, loosen your tie and bask in the rays of '60's rat pack cool!

Many people will probably prefer to lounge in Rat Pack coolness then pedal their butts around PB. If people like the above posted schedule, there could be a choice of meeting at Albee's for 3 martini lunching or the Tiki Bike Tour before meeting the people who come later in front of the Moai in the Hanalei.
