OK this time it's set.
FYI, the Tiki Farm event was canceled so I'm jumping on that open Tiki date.
Here's the proposed itinerary...
1. We'll start out at an exclusive private rum bar that L.A. Weekly recently dubbed L.A.'s Best Undercover Tiki Bar.
I've had the membership fees waived for our group.
2. Next we'll move on to Trader Vic's Downtown L.A. (I've decided to move TV up so we can get something to eat mid-crawl and also beat the eventual onslaught of Hockey fans when the Kings game ends that night.)
3. We'll finish at the Moroccan-themed lounge at the nearby historic Figueroa Hotel. (Instead of my original mid-century dive bar ringer. Our group has grown too large for that place.)
Everything is in walking distance.
I've found that 3 is the magic number for most, but if a smaller group wants to continue on into the night then I'll lead that expedition.
PM me your name and email ID and I'll put you on the guest list. Also I'll email you the exact logistics as we get closer to that date.

1. SoccerTiki

3. Tonga Tom

If anyone is looking for a place to stay in downtown for the night The Figueroa Hotel is a Very Cool Place with a lot of History to it. The rates are very affordable for downtown plus it's right across the street from Trader Vic's.....WooHooo http://www.figueroahotel.com

There is a hockey game at the Staples Center on the 12th - so parking really close to Trader Vics may be costly. If you park just a few blocks away around Grand Ave. it gets as low as $5.
