Title: Tiki Central Northern California Bar Crawl this week!

Aloha!

 

The Eighth Annual Tiki Crawl is almost upon us- and it's shaping up to be the best yet!  There's still a few tickets left for our Thursday night trip to the South Bay to visit two tiki bars and see the incredible Project: Pimento perform.  If you need a little more enticement, we'll also be serving a tasty punch on the way down courtesy of our good friends at Rhum Clement!  Friday Night in SF now features the smooth tunes of DJ Jab and DJ Otto von Stroheim at the Bamboo Hut!  The Saturday Night East Bay bus is sold out, but please feel free to follow along with a designated driver!  Saturday will feature four stops including the Grand Finale at Trader Vic's Emeryville with live music from the Mai Kai Gents.

BUT WAIT!  STOP THE PRESSES!

 

In a feat never before attempted by man, we are proud to present another first at the Tiki Crawl this year:

The Tiki Central SF Tiki Crawl 8 in association with Forbidden Island and Conga Lounge are proud to present The World?s First Triple Mug Release Party!

On Saturday, October 11th, we will be celebrating the crawl with the release of three very special tiki mugs:

1.  The Official Tiki Central Tiki Crawl 8 Mug!

Wait until you set your eyes on this beauty!  An all-new design, sculpted by the Godfather of the San Jose Style himself, NOTCH!  A beautiful classic moai design, glazed in the ever-popular traditional smooth black matte finish, this is surely one of the finest moai mugs in years!  This is an OFFICIAL Tiki Central Mug- only the third mug ever authorized by Hanford Lemoore for Tiki Central, and priced at just $40.  Previous TC mugs (Shecky & Ohana Hut) became instant collectibles- don?t miss your chance to grab a slice of history.  Manufactured by Tiki Farm, this is a very limited edition of less than 100 and will go on sale Saturday, October 11th at 4:00PM at Forbidden Island.  First come, first serve in an un-numbered limited edition.

2.  The New Forbidden Island 2.0 Tiki Mug Limited ?Diablo Edition?.

This is a very special treat- Danny (aka Tiki Diablo) our tiki designer, has taken his new mug to the next level with a stunning hand wash and hand-painted treatment.  That?s right- the artist himself has painstakingly painted each mug by hand with a classic color scheme reminiscent of the old Hawaiian Room Tiki Mug.  An already great mug is rendered all the more stunning.  This is the first time we?ve ever done anything like this at Forbidden Island, and I?m amazed at the result.  A wonderful addition to your collection, each one is signed and numbered by the artist with a hang tag (limited to less than 50) and priced at $50.  On sale at Forbidden Island at 4:00PM on Saturday the 11th as well.  Regular mug line-up rules are in effect, and numbered tags will be handed out just before the doors open at 4:00PM.

3.  The First Ever Official Conga Lounge Tiki Mug

Our next stop on Saturday night will also see the arrival of the long-awaited Conga Lounge Tiki Mug, and a beauty it is!  Designed by Chongolio, sculpted by Squid, and manufactured by Tiki Farm, this two-tone mug depicts a stylized moai on the side of a conga drum, and has all the hallmarks of an instant classic!  Plus for this one night only starting at 6:30pm, it?s specially priced at just $15- and that INCLUDES a cocktail, folks!  That?s right:  The Conga Lounge?s new signature drink, The Stumbling Islander, featuring a tasty blend of rums, pineapple, cranberry, fresh lime and bitters will be right inside ready to drink!  Beautiful AND refreshing: now THAT?S a good tiki mug!!!
