Those of us in the mid-Atlantic region need to get together at either Politiki in DC, Honolulu in Alexandria VA, or any other place that anyone knows about! Maybe we could even take a gander at the Moai at the Smithsonian before or after! I know it pales in comparison to West Coast tiki crawls or the Hukilau in Atlanta but it would probably be pretty cool to get together with a bunch of other like minded people from this area.

Perhaps posting this in the main forum might get it more exposure... just put a link over to his thread.

Many thanks for stepping forward to suggest a Tiki outing where no Tiki outing has been before, Johntiki!
I and my partner would definitely be up for an evening of Tiki and fine company! It would be good to meet other national capital area Tiki-philes.
From where I'm sitting a few things might help us out at this point- some basic knowledge of Tiki locations (Politiki and/or Honolulu both sound good to me!), hours, and parking situations. It would also be good to know how crowded these places get on weekends, or if folks are close enough in that they'd rather do a weeknight?
Followed by perhaps setting a date, possibly with at least a little time between then and now, which would help bring other area folk out of the woodwork/get it on their calendars.
So what do you think?

Sabina - thanks for your suggestions - I am thinking of a date in September/October - I will look at my calendar and set a date once I find some available time! As for inside knowledge on the Politiki and Honolulu - we will have to enlist the help of those who live a little closer - I am like an hour and a half away. I have been to the Politiki once - never been to Honolulu. Any suggestions or inside knowledge anyone?

Count me in for the Oct 12 gathering. I'll be returning from a vacation that week, so the gathering will be a nice welcome home.

I had fun at Politiki when I had a sibling get-together there a couple of years back.

Hey - just because we're planning on going to Honolulu doesn't mean we can't make a stop at Politiki - we can buy them out of their presidential tiki mugs...
I'm going to call Honolulu this week and see if I need to make reservations for a group - so I need to start getting a head count...

I would't mind stopping over at Politiki. Never been there. I'll get a babysitter, so 2 for me.

Maybe we could look into getting a small bus so we don't have to drive

The bus would be cool but, if I can convince my wife to go we might have a designated driver (she's pregnant) but, she has expressed no desire to go because she can't drink...kinda catch-22. I'll look into the bus idea but it might cut down on the cash for drinks and we might be sober enough to drive...another catch-22...
I read on the tiki bar review page about Honolulu being close to the Metro - that might be a good idea but I know the Metro stops running pretty early...anyone have the inside info.?
