The Rules!
We know….rules suck. We're
not trying to be wet-blankets here but there are a few rules and guidelines
to keep in mind.
-
Pace, don’t race. While we certainly intend
on trying cocktails at each of the bars, keep in mind that this is an ALL
DAY event. This is more like a marathon than a sprint. Pace
yourself…re-hydrate frequently with WATER…and EAT. You don’t want
to be the guy (or gal) getting sick & stinking up the bus. Nobody
likes that guy (or gal).
-
We've told the bartenders at all the joints that
Tiki People are the best people around. Don't embarrass us by being stingy
on the tip. In most cases they’re bringing in extra staff to make sure
we’re well taken care of. Take care of them too.
-
There is NO SMOKING on the bus or in any of the restaurants.
The day is planned so that we’re never on the bus for more than a half-hour.
You can make it that long! I’ll have a lighter at the ready as you
step off the bus.
-
Cocktails cannot be taken into a bar, nor brought
out of a bar. Whatever you’re drinking on the bus needs to stay on
the bus, whatever you’re drinking in bar needs to be finished (or left)
in the bar.
-
Please, Please, PLEASE make a reservation and
stay at the motel after the Tour. We love you Tiki-Freaks, and want
to see you on the bus next year. Driving after a day like this can
lead to Jail or worse. Don’t risk it. Stay with us and party
the night away at the hotel. Don’t make us take those keys away from you!
-
Be considerate of the other riders and keep track
of time. You don’t want to be the one holding up a bus of 100 Tikiphiles
eager to Get On The Road, do you? If you want to order food at any
of the stops, feel free, but make sure there is enough time to have it
served. If we’re scheduled to leave a stop at 2:00, don’t order Chicken
Ambrosia at 1:55. We’ve got a lot to fit in, and need to keep as
close to the schedule as possible.
-
Jackassery will be tolerated, assholery will not.
Hey, it’s a day of sampling tropical drinks. We know how rum can
get all up on ya. We’ve been there (I think there are pictures to
prove it). And while there’s nothing wrong with some drunken antics,
there’s that line that shouldn’t be crossed. Feel free to teeter
on it, but don’t cross it, ok?
-
Please respect the Tiki stops. No climbing
the rigging, bathing in the fountains and absolutely no "field collecting".
-
Have fun dammit!!
What Happens if I break the rules?
A rule breaker will be beaten with Hawaiian
War Clubs and then cocktails will be served to the survivors out of his/her
skull.
Too Harsh? Ok, depending on the circumstances,
most likely you’ll just be reminded of the rules and told to cut the crap.
If the situation warrants it however, the organizers reserve the right
to call you cab
& have you sent back to the hotel.
No money will be refunded.
