Sounds like fun. Why not do President's Day Weekend? The 3 days would make it easier for CA folks to make the trek.

Tiki Mo Fo - You da man!
I may be one of the Cali tiki ohana heading out to AZ for the event, if its on President's day weekend (although I'm only 1 vote).
PS: where's a good, moderate(under approx $150 night) place to stay with a view of the mountains and/or desert? I was thinking of the Smugglers Inn?
Anyone else feel like opening their tiki hut for a home bar tour, maybe on Sunday night?

I have talked to Louie and it looks like it will be prez day weekend. I will be in contact with some hotels to see about some room specials. We are also looking at Cruzan rum helping as well. I will get some details worked out and post for everyone.

Mesa is about 1.5-2 hours from Tucson, so don't know if anyone wants to make the drive up, but we're always happy to host a tiki party. Otherwise, we'll see everyone at the Kon-Tiki.
btw ... Tiki-Mo-Fo are you still in AZ?

No, I am back in CA. However, I was thinking of doing a pre-party at my house since it will be open for a few of the CA folks to camp at. I was thinking of guest bar tenders. I have been to some other events and that seems to be fun for everyone. Also, I talked to Holden at Tiki Farm yesterday. He needs more info from the factory to confirm us making the Prez day dates work for the finish product.

Well, I kinda do still have a ghia. I have a 2004 crossfire which was designed and built by Karman. Even came with matching bags just like the old ghia's. Here is a link to a review I put together on it. If anyone is bored........

Mine is a 63 ragtop. Sorry don't know anyone w/ a 23 window, those are pretty hard to come by, and when you find one, not cheap!

As far as hotel I was thinking about the Viscount Suites. This place is right around the corner, and Louie and I were thinking of running shuttles to and from. Smugglers use to be fun, and may still be, but it is a few miles away... As soon as I get a pos answer I will start looking harder.....

vwtikigirl, thanks for the invite.
However, to do justice to your invitation, as well as the plethora of tiki bars by you: Drift, Coco Moe Joes, Tiki Hut, Bikini, one would need to devote a entire weekend.
