As of January 2014 - Otto's Grotto is moved to first Thursday
Which means it's time for another Otto's Grotto at Forbidden Island
8 pm - closing (usually midnight but could be later if you're still drinking!)

Brother Cleve's visit conjured up more Now Sound Easy Listening than Exotica and I'm gonna continue with that this week
and of course cocktails by the lovely Suzanne

Dec 1 is a Wednesday and the LAST Otto's Grotto of the year
Expect new music from Mr. Ho's Orchestrotica big band, Johnny Aloha, Tiki Joe's Ocean, and Tikiyaki Orchestra, as well as WAITIKI, Skip Heller and the usual Hawaiian/Exotica and how could I resist throwing in a few Christmas tunes.
And of course, cocktail concoctions by Suzanne!

OK, Let's try this again. Exotica music is alive an kickin it. But you gotta come out to support it if it is going to survive.
DJ Mermaid - Lounging in Otto's Grotto at Forbidden Island Tiki Lounge
Wednesday, February 2, 2011, 7pm - closing
DJ Mermaid brings her eclectic selection of loungeland sounds to Forbidden Island! From Esquivel to Lyman to Ferrante & Tiecher to early electronic music, Mermaid transports us to other shores, and even other worlds, while Otto takes a dive into the duality of Exotica vinyl and tropical cocktail drinking. Don't try this at home!
Admission: FREE

Hey gang! Come join me for a live performance black velvet painting at Otto's Grotto on Wednesday, March 2nd. Join me for a cocktail as I paint Tiki Bob hang'n ten on black velvet with an original MP carved frame.
Chill out with Otto's killer sounds and harass MP as I try and create a velvet masterpiece under menacing public scrutiny. LOL
The painting will be raffled off with 5 tickets for 5 bucks. I will start painting at 7 and
hope to finish around 11. So come out with a few extra bucks and steal this
painting.
