I won't be able to make this but would love to know where you guys end up for future reference since my good friend is moving to Chicago. Won't be nearly as fun without the tiki tour crew though!

This monday marks the opening of chicago's first land based casino - and it's right down the street from the hotel this event is held at, so anyone that feels like gambling a little on the c.a.t.t. tour weekend is gonna have a nice opportunity, Plenty of slot and table action.
Also, for those of you not too hung over, the famous wolf's fleamarket at the allstate arena will be open that sunday and it too is close to the hotel - (you'll need a car, it's a 5 minute drive) or have the hotel get you a cab over.
Just a couple more perks for you out of towners to enjoy !!

We've got some more very special CATT announcements coming-up, with the first one to come being that the CATT will be continuing in the tradition of Ohana Luau at the Lake & The Hot Rod Hula Hop by ensuring that we "give back" while having lots 'o fun!
On Sunday, the CATT will be having a very special raffle, with all proceeds going to Catnap from the Heart, a local kitty shelter!!
One of the prizes will be a fun & unique tiki mug shelf - complete with a starter collection of tiki mugs - made special for the CATT by DSK Designs - MEOW!!

We're looking to get tickets on sale by around mid-August & the ticket price will include...
- Entry to Friday, Saturday & Sunday's tiki-riffic activities
- Bus libations & transportation for Saturday
- Pupus, Dinner, Dessert, Tip & Show at Tiki Terrace Saturday night (DO NOT call Tiki Terrace to make reservations - we will be handling the reservation only as one large group reservation)
- A fun & fabulous SWAG Bag
Interest has been very strong for this event. We do anticipate selling out 2 full busses, so watch this space & our FB page for more info!!!
For anyone who may have missed the hotel info - here it is for easy reference: The host hotel is the aloft O'Hare. Use this link to get the special discounted rate for the CATT through September 9th: https://www.starwoodmeeting.com/StarGroupsWeb/booking/reservation?id=1104088815&key=81F49
As of yesterday afternoon, we were 2 rooms away from selling out our block of rooms, so we have added 10 more rooms to our block
And.....last, but not least.....when we put tickets up for sale, we'll also CATT mug pre-orders available for attendees, too - here's a sneak peek of the fabulous mug in progress from PopTiki of Colorado!

Okay kids, here is the finished tiki shadow box for the C.A.T.T. tour raffle. As you know, it will be loaded with about 18 vintage mugs as well. No bullshit biglots or spencers mugs here .... this is gonna have mugs worth buying raffle tickets for in it, right ??
I included a picture of the train wreck vintage 50's shadow box I started with, which i stripped down to the basics and refinished from the ground up. Special touches included a light that is hidden in the planter box which casts light on the tiki mask. (mask is removable in case you win this and want to put a different mask on it other than the basic phillipines tiki mask i have installed). Also, I created a special F.O.M. support tiki which acts as the pillar to keep the shelf from possibly sagging under the weight of all those tiki mugs. The fez sports the FOM letters and the base has C.A.T.T. to commemorate this special event, that you will cherish for years to come.
enjoy!!

Wow, that shelf is gorgeous, Tipsy. I'm absolutely giddy for this event and love the fact that it's right in my backyard!
