About the Sneaky Tiki Meetup:
We currently have a Monthly Meetup held on the Third Wednesday of the Month.
From 6 pm to 9 pm.
We meet at Fast Times Bar & Restaurant:
Fast Times | 3065 Clairemont Drive, San Diego, CA 92117
619-642-0338 | [info@fasttimessd.com](mailto:info@fasttimessd.com)
What to expect at Sneaky Tiki:
We recommend to get there early. Our event is popular and you will want to get a seat!
The official start time is 6pm PST. You arrive, order your food and have some social time with your TIKI friends.
At 6:30pm the Ukulele Play-along starts and runs until 9pm.
We play songs from our Secret Sneaky Tiki Tune Book and have plenty good clean Tiki Fun along the way.
KEV leads the meetup and we have the Tiki Band onstage. We have extra vocal mics on stage and encourage Tikis to come onstage and sing with their friends. At the beginning of the event Fae (our amazing Tiki volunteer) walks around with the song list and encourages people to pick songs to sing on stage. KEV calls off names and songs from the sign-up sheet and invites you up to the stage. It's always crazy fun!
