We're starting a new thread to keep the NW Crawl updates as fresh as possible!
Hey, there are only a few seats left on the bus! If you've been sitting the fence about buying your tickets, now's the time to get 'em! In addition to the dwindling bus seats, there are only a few free mugs available at this time, so if you want a free mug and a seat on the bus, get ye to the website (www.nwtiki.com) and buy, buy, buy!
If you're only interested in the Saturday night event, there will be lots of tickets available for that, and we'll be selling crawl mugs, too. Remember, a Saturday night ticket gets you a free raffle ticket, and our raffle is shaping up to be pretty cool, with mugs from Munktiki, custom, one-of-a-kind tiki artwork, a Caliente Tropics vacation, an Oregon Coast getaway, and the BIG, MYSTERIOUS, TIKI GRAB BOXES OF MYSTERY!
Just over a week to go!

Kim,
That is alot of great information. I'll just add that both The Jasmine Tree and mrtikibar's
Ahi Lua Lounge are on Harrison St. There's just 25 blocks and a river between us. The Hawthorne Bridge gets you from the SW side to the SE side convieniently and we are located about 4 blocks south of Hawthorne Blvd. Hope to see alot of you this coming weekend.
One other thing. Here is a link to check out one of the raffle prizes.

I know it's late, but any Seattlelite Tike Crawlers looking for a ride to Portland?
I'm a neophyte tiki addict looking forward to the tiki crawl and meeting other tiki fans. I will be driving down from Seattle after work Friday. Right now my hotel reservation is only until Sunday, but I'm leaning toward taking an extra day and driving back Monday.
I have a small convertible so I can only fit one person, but I'm happy to have some company if anyone needs a lift. If you're interested, drop me a line at my personal address (tikicentral@peterga.com).

Darn! I could use a one-way ride to Portland but I'm not going until Saturday. I'm in Olympia...you could have gotten a peek at my still-in-progress basement Tiki Bar...Hutikihi.

Any Portland Gals out there got a spare couch for the weekend for a penniless Tiki Vendor? You will be well compensated with Tiki art/merch and good Karma.

Okay, I'm all set up now. Thanks!

Hey, Exoticat, are you still looking for a ride from Olympia to Portland? No one else appears to be in need and I've got Monday off now so I'm now thinking of heading up Saturday morning (returning Monday, but you said one way, so that didn't seem like the return trip was an issue for you). I just need to get to Portland in time to check in and some relatives at 2pm Saturday.
BTW, I am new to Tiki Central but I am not a mad serial killer (despite having a fondness for German industrial music). But I have Martin Denny on the IPod too.
In any event, I am really looking forward to meeting other people with tiki on the brain as much as me, as well as getting some swell ideas for my own in-progress basement ("Pete's Monkey Skull Voodoo Lounge").
Pete
P.S. to Seamus -- I'll mail you outside the list too, but I'm still hoping we might have a chance to hook up while I'm in town to discuss the tiki fountain.

I have a favor to ask of all Tiki Central members attending the crawl: could you please email me your Tiki Central name along with your "real" name so we'll know who you are? In this strange cyber-universe we inhabit, many of us only seem to know each other by our handles. We're working on getting name badges together to help us recognize each other...

<<Hey, Exoticat, are you still looking for a ride from Olympia to Portland? >>
Hi, monkeyskull! Sorry I didn't get back in here sooner to read this. I have already squared away my ride, but I really appreciate the offer! I'd like to hear your ideas on your own basement Tiki Room/Lounge...we can talk at the event. See you soon!
I look foward to meeting all the Tiki people I haven't met yet and seeing some of the NW people that I met in October once again. This is my first official "crawl" and I'm expecting it to be pretty fun...

It looks like the Palms Motel is going to be THE motel for the crawl! (A few TC members are going to stay there).

Can't wait to see everybody! How many people are staying over Sunday night? I don't leave until Monday, and I imagine I'll have more tiki in me come the end of the home bar tour. Shall we plan on storming the Alibi again that evening, perhaps?
