We're in! :^)

What time?

How about 3:00 p.m. onwards at Kowloon on September 10th?

Howdy New England Folks,

Greetings from San Diego. I'll be in Boston for work Sept 12-16 and staying at the Boston Park Plaza hotel. I'm going to do my best to get up to the Kowloon, soak up the ambiance, get a drink and score a mug!

Unfortunately I will not have a rental car. I've identified the subway and bus route to get there but can't find (online) the scheduled times to be at the stops.

It looks like cabing it is an option but will be pricey.

Any suggestions or advise from the locals on what is a must at the Kowloon or transportation would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know much about the Kowloon but it looks GREAT. You all must be stoked to have this place to hangout at.

I look forward to checking out this awesome place and perhaps having a drink with a fellow TCer.

Thanks all,
SK

Hi Sofa King (hee! with the name!). Taking a cab from Boston to the Kowloon in Saugus is going to be very expensive, round trip. You can cut it down a bit by doing the following:

From your hotel, walk a couple blocks to the Tufts Medical Center T stop on the Orange Line. You can also walk in the other direction and pick up the Orange Line at Back Bay Station. See this website for details - http://mbta.com/schedules_and_maps/subway/lines/?route=ORANGE

From there take the subway to Oak Grove Station in Malden. Malden is one town over from Saugus. You can get a cab from there (it's a smallish station - you may have to call a cab - Malden Taxi - (781) 322-5050, or Tan Taxi. (781) 395-6666. Call Saugus Taxi ((781) 231-9222) in the other direction for the trip back to Oak Grove and the subway back to Boston and you've saved enough money to buy a few mugs and an extra drink or 2! :^) And the Kowloon does their own mug, too, just FYI. Also tee shirts. Just sayin'.

Enjoy the Kowloon!

Thank you Hibiscus!
This is extremely helpful. I appreciate you taking the time to hook me up with phone #s and the web address. Very cool.

Thanks again and Cheers,
SK

Mr. Ho

Can't make to Biston tomorrow but I hope it goes well. I picked the album up as soon as it dropped on iTunes. Sounds great.

-Rev

Thanks Rev! Curious, did Apple send you a notice that it was posted to iTunes?

Brian, tomorrow's lousy for me too, sadly. I can't wait to grab the vinyl though. It was a real treat to hear a live sampling in Middletown (plus, the artwork is aces!)

Good luck with the release!

Man! I'm always gigging on Ho gig nights!

I definitely want that vinyl though.

I have December 21st open for the meet and greet though, hope to see lots of New England tikiphiles there!!!

Too bad...... Fall is crazy busy in New England, picking a date was quite a challenge this year.

-Rev

I know. I've got something big happening every weekend in September.

If this was a different weekend I'd come up from NJ. But my husband got me tickets to The Eagles at Madison Square Garden for that night. Bummer!

wish i still had a bike this looks cool

I never had a motorcycle but any excuse to hang at Luau Hale is a good one!

-Rev

Hey folks...

The NETT4 logo has had a strong response and people have been asking about t-shirts. A design has been done for the event, but we are taking pre-orders for the official NETT4 t-shirt to gauge interest and see if we can lower the price with a larger order.

Our goal is that shirts will be distributed at Ohana: Luau at the Lake, Hot Rod Hula Hop and on the Tour itself for convenience.

Once we have confirmed a price everyone who signed up will sent an update and payment information. We estimate the cost will be $20-25 per shirt.

If you are interested in shirts please sign up by June 6th!

Look for information on Tour reservations next week.

Mahalo,

-Rev

We are now taking reservations for Northeast Tiki Tour 4, which will be held Saturday, September 13, 2014, with some pre-event festivities on Friday, September 12.

We will use the reservations to select the type of bus for the tour. If demand exceeds the maximum number of seats available on the largest bus, we can reserve; then we will fill the bus in the order that reservations were received. The remaining names will be put on a waitlist in order.

http://www.northeasttikitour.com/reservations.html

After you fill out the reservation form, you will get a copy by email. We will use that email address to send you updates, payment instructions, and hotel reservation information.

Mahalo!

Mahalo for all the NETT4 reservations. We are still taking signups but we are on a wait list now.

Pre-orders for the event t-shirt end this evening so last call....
