Castaway Cove will still be in the process of preparing for the NW Tiki Crawl, but it will be ready for a sneak preview in your honor. Bet we could talk Mr.TikiBar into pouring a drink or ten at his place, but he won't respond to this until he gets back from Vegas. We'll also run you around to Alibi and Jasmine Tree It'll be like a mini crawl!

It would be an honor. I just have to stay out of the booze so there is something to pour.
I will spruce things up (vacuum the dog hair)
for mid-May. There's a chance I will be pulled out of town but I think we can swing it.

Wow--that sounds great. About a year or a little more, someone posted a house for sale in Portland that had a tiki bar in it from about 1949--did you buy that house??--bruce
I am looking forward to this trip!! ZAZZZ!

Hi Bruce,
It is the same house and we have decided not to sell it. We were buying a loft but decided that it would be too small; so we pulled out and now we love our house again. We are just starting to aestheticize. We have not yet done anything to our tiki room. It is on our list. It is very original but without any of the over the top accessories.
It would very fun to have you come by.
Best Regards,
Gem

Congrats on changing your mind and not getting what may have been a stale loft! The photos of your bar made me want to move to Portland. Now it is time to get to work on it.--bruce

It is getting closer -but I still don't know where the class is that I have to go to Thursday and Friday day!! So I don't know yet where I will be staying. About four years ago at the Jantzen beach Red Lion , I had the "pleasure" to see the best/worst/most grotesque train wreck of a lounge act. It was beautiful--have any of you Portland folks heard of this guy. I can't remember his name it was " (insert male name here) and His Disco Duck" maybe something like "David Knight" --any way, this guy has an animatronic duck that "sings" along with him(through the wonders of Ventriloquism) and they both tell dirty jokes and sing typical sappy hotel lounge tunes. Sheer brilliance!!! Is this guy still around? Anyone know whom I am talking about? Anyone know where he is signing? I wanna see that craaazy duck!!

no, not Rick Dees. Rick Dees is too famous. The guy I saw was just some lounge singer.

Mr Smiley,
That would be Mark Knight who still has a gig at the Jantzen Beach Double Tree. He still uses the duck but has shifted into DJ mode.

Are you staying at the Tiki Lodge?

Might be worth a look-see.
