Hey Guys, I went to scope it out tonight and to get some dinner at one of the other establishments. Just so you know, the new CIP is planted in the middle of suburban hell. It's this mall that is trying desperatly not to be a mall, so they made it look like a friggin train station or something. It's got these weird walkways, and you can't really get around unless you are in a car.

The CIP looked nice, but CROWDED. In fact, everything out there was crowded. We waited 15 minutes at Cold Stone for icecream and 55 minutes at the Macaroni Grill. So just so you're aware, you may have to get there a little early if you want a table. Secondly, how are we gonna recognize each other. It's kinda cavernous which could make it hard to meet up. Just FYI. Good luck and cya all tomorrow!
D.I.

Went there for my birthday 2 weeks ago and it isn't that big. If people are getting there closer to showtime, the "mall" shouldn't be that crowded. I know I will be able to find Tiki Bar and we'll have our nametags (that reminds me - I need to make myself one tomorrow).

Yep, I'll bring my nametag. And I hope the......is it a mall? Ok, I hope the mall isn't too crowded. I think our group is going to try and score a table and some dinner, but we'll see how bad the line is.

Matt Helser from Tropical Pleasures Magazine (http://www.tropicalpleasuresmagazine.com/) was there and it sounds like we may be in an issue of Tropical Pleasures Magazine. He's also done a few numbers on us in a Guest DJ hour for RadioMargaritaville.com

Just for you T




Tiki Bar, DrunkenIrish, 7Lords, Zero Duval

fixed the pic links

The pleasure was all mine! Thanks guys!

Did you make it to kites on Sunday Tiki?

I sure did, but amazingly without my camera! The kites were very cool, but my kids favorite part was all of the ice strips to run and slide on! I guess I need to get them out more in the winter - we're surrounded by lakes!

Looks like Clove enjoyed herself! Great pics!

Zero Duval has hair!!!!!! Who knew?

Lookin' good, Zero, my hero. Looking good!

Great pics!! Thanks Wade!
Looks like you guys had a great time!!
