Ok Cats & Kittens,
The contracts are signed, the bands are aaaaaaaalmost all on board, and we've got some info for ya on next years NETT.
Things are gonna be a little different for next year. Different how?
No buses.
Yup, you read that right. Don't worry, the bus tour will return in '10, but on an exploratory excursion with RugbyMatt, we found a place that's just dying to have an event.
Next year we'll be at the Tiki Resort (formerly the Tiki Motor Lodge) in wacky Lake George, NY. (Its in your Book of Tiki!!)
Dates : Sept 18-20, 2009
I'd encourage everyone to come out on Thursday, or stay thru to Monday to see all the cool roadside weirdness that Lake George still has to offer. As a purely seasonal town, its remained relative unspoiled since the 60s with tons of old school architecture, and motor lodges, and crazy roadside attractions.
The Resort itself is pretty much intact as well, with a Polynesian Show, a fantastic tiki bar/lounge, and a completely tikified pool area (not to mention all the tikis you'll find ALL around the resort).
Tickets are going to be $75, and that includes a Polynesian dinner show (tax & gratuity included.....just sit, eat & enjoy!), bands, crawl, our usual wackiness, and some special surprises & keepsakes.
The staff is making cocktails using recipes we provide, and the dinner itself is being custom tailored for us!! They're as excited as we are about having a big bunch of tikiphiles descend upon the place!!
As usual, more info to come as we hash out the details, but save the dates. I'll post room booking info in about a week, and the website should be live & taking orders before the end of the year.
Thanks for continuing to support the NETT, and we'll see you on the bu....ummm...at the lake!
