Speaking of Nacho saying bump...
Oh, wait... did he say "bump"? I think he totally meant to say mug...
(that's a test glaze sneak peak, btw - you'll have to wait until I get back from Forbidden Island tonight to see more. stay tuned...)

Bummer. So far everyone we went with last year can't make it on the crawl this year because there are just too many people on vacation in July.  (
Poop.

I beg pardon. The Lovely Miss Milly and I were both there last year. We are all ready to set sail again.

Good. We'll put up a glass barrier and I can slam a few monkeypods.

Well, there is a good chance that there will be a bus on Friday - like Hanford mentioned in his last post, we are still trying to swing that. How large that Friday bus may be (or if it happens at all) is still being determined by the amount of people that are expressing interest in bus tickets. So please sign up and express your interest in bus tickets here:
http://www.tikiroom.com/misc/bustickets.php
Here's a couple of updates on info for The Tiki Crawl. We had a minor glitch in the bus ticket sign up form, which gave us an abnormally low number count for bus tickets requested. It looks like the bugs have been ironed out. So if Hanford contacted you about re-signing up for bus tickets on the ticket request form, please do so, because the bug was resetting certain peoples ticket requests to zero for all days.
We've been working hard on tying up loose ends, confirming venue dates and certain special events that are still in the works, as well as coordinating the production of the mug by Nacho (all made by hand by him, production slip molds and all, with a smidge of help thrown in by me). Has anyone paid any attention to all of the other artists on TC that keep saying that making a mug is long and tedious work? Well, they ain't lyin'!!! There is a lot of work in coordinating an event that has grown into the size that this event has, especially when there's basically just two people trying to wrangle it all together, plus another certain Hot Rod shop owner workin' like a maniac - on top of his real job - tryin' to get your mugs done in time! There has been much fretting and wringing of hands this year, but it's all about our love of tiki, and tiki bars, whether new or vintage, and you guys, so it's worth it. We think you will be pleased with the results.
That being said, we should have the schedule posted soon, hopefully by the end of this week. Also, stay tuned for more info about bus tickets, including which days we will have a bus, and the on sale date of the tickets.
Feel free to post any further questions you may have. And remember to support your local tiki bar! Cheers,
-Mai Tai and Hanford

Here are some more pics of the mug. This is a test glaze, but it's pretty much going to look like this, with a creamy white inside - yum!!!
Price: TBD
Quantity: hopefully 100, if the Tiki Gods are smiling on us, un-numbered edition
Gettin' jiggy with some test glazes
An army of mugs is gathering in this cabinet!
P.S. If you saw some of the other things that Notch has in this cabinet, it would melt your dome! Seriously!!!

That is so cool. Better sign me up for a couple of those too. Looks like this is going to be a family affir this year. Now my son wants to come as well.....Don't worry he's of age. Can't wait for the crawl.

Update!
--Bus Tickets on sale Monday--
The Tiki Bus comes back for two nights: Friday and Saturday. It's the best way to experience the crawl. Tickets go on sale Monday at 7pm, and will sell out quick, so be prompt and have your PayPal password handy.
http://www.tikiroom.com/misc/bustickets.php
--Schedule Announced--
The schedule is announced and we have new stops! Tiki Tom's and a Crawl first: the first home-bar ever (well, auto-body-shop-bar). Check out the schedule here:
http://www.tikiroom.com/misc/schedule.php
Looking forward to it!

I'm so sad I am going to miss the crawl. I was really hoping for this to be my first this year. The mug looks great! Hope you all have a really fun time and hopefully I will be joining all of you next year!

Huh...I popped in to check out TC and find this...my brother is visiting me, and we're taking a roadtrip to SF this very weekend. Saturday we're going to see Slayer, but we might be able to swing by some of the other events.
