Here is our li’l press release:
————————————
This just in:
NW Tiki presents Tiki Kon V: Venture into Darkness taking place in Portland, Oregon on July 27 through 29, 2007. This year we will explore taboo territory and venture into the dark side of exotica, where cannibals thrive and tikis have very sharp teeth indeed.
Tiki Kon V will hold wondrous new surprises this year. The Jupiter Hotel will once again be home to our shadowy rites including an entertainment extravaganza, exotic bazaar, mysterious libations and food of foreign lands. Our base camps will be the venerable Alibi and the former sand pit, Thatch. We will embark on The NW Tiki Original Home Bar Tour with never before explored home bars and also tread the familiar ground of our most popular haunts.
Please be on the lookout for more information about this mysterious voyage into forbidden adventure!

Explain tikikon to my plz.
Tiki Kon is an event, I, and a group of friends put on each year in Portland.
It’s a 3-day convention-like party where we have bands, vendors, drinks, food,trips to local Tiki Bars and a tour of local in-home Tiki bars. (Each of our friends as well as a few other locals have created their own versions of Tiki Bars in their own homes — you can see a nice picture of our “Monkey Hut” here (warning: huge).
The Pop-culture movement of Polynesian Pop involves food, (alcholic)drinks, art, music and fashion. Wikipedia has a semi-snotty article about it.
Polynesian Pop enthusiasts converge for the weekend to chat, buy stuff, drink, have fun, and party.
OMG I want a Monkey Hut!
My friend Michelle says the best tiki bar is the one within crawling distance of your own bed.
As the Bartender of the Monkey Hut, I have to agree.
I wanna get my drunken monkey on in that hut
Calendar marked!
