Inspired by the awesome Sacramento and South Bay annual home crawls that have recently taken place again, I'm organizing a tiki home crawl here in San Diego. Why should Nor Cal get to have all the fun? San Diego may not have great tiki bars, but we do have some amazing spaces hidden away in our homes. This a great opportunity to check out other people's collections, get inspiration for your own tiki space or inspire others with yours, and meet and hang out with some other tiki-loving San Diegans!
The crawl will take place Saturday, March 3, 2012. Each home will be open for 60 minutes (with 30 minutes allotted for travel time between each stop). Each host will provide a cocktail, a snack or two, and a nonalcoholic drink option while they let the rest of us ogle their tiki space. We have some really great homes lined up, and this will be an all-day event!
Crawling duties will include "ooo"ing and "aaah"ing appropriately, being a gracious guest, and having a good time. Please PM me with your name and your email address so you can be added to the Evite list. The crawl details (schedule and home addresses) will be sent when they're finalized to those who have said "yes" on the Evite.
**Note that transportation will NOT be provided--crawlers will be responsible for driving themselves to each stop on the crawl, so please plan accordingly.**
Thanks for your interest, and I hope that we can make our first San Diego home crawl a success!
Mahalo!
April

Its open to all of you.

If I can get the planets to align (meaning my dead ass and my general inability to get my place in order) I am interested in having some folks over to the Lava-Flow-Inn for this crawl idea. Derek, Vista is worth the trip judging by what I've seen of your place so far.

How exciting for you. In Sacramento, we found it fun to link up at our local favorite restaurant and also to stop by a local merchants to help support his selling of Tiki related inventory. We have done that a couple of times now and it was great. We also found we had to expand from 1 day to 3: Friday night, Saturday & Sunday. We made a claim on standing dates (second weekend in October) so folks would always know ahead of time to keep that time open or plan to have their place ready by then. Also very popular is the Tiki garage sale, everyone can participate and that helps folks that want to sell and also those interested in expanding their collections. Good luck with organizing April...you guys will have a blast (wish I was in town to do some gawking).

Derek, although Vista isn't exactly San Diego proper, I'm sure we can work out a way to fit your place in!

So, what can the rest of us do to get the planets to align correctly? It'd be great if we could include the Lave-Flow-Inn on the crawl!

I could get into the crawl spirit for this event - and finally meet some of you after some failed attempts. Count me and a guest in!

I'm afraid that the work will be mine alone. Don't worry, The Lava-Flow-Inn will be ready. I pm'd you. Please give me a ring.
