Tiki Kon 2007 Portland: Tiki Kon 2007. Portland Tiki Kon 2007 Dates for Portland's annual Tiki Crawl, a.k.a. the Tiki Kon, have been announced: it's happening July 27-29, 2007. Tiki Kon: Venture into Darkness will include stops at Portland tiki mainstay The Alibi and of course Portland's newest tiki hotspot, Thatch. HQ for the whole shebang is once again the Jupiter Hotel, and there will be a tour of area home tiki bars. I was at the first Portland Tiki Crawl five years ago, and I haven't missed one since - I'll be there again this year, and I'm particularly excited to get to see Thatch in person. The Tiki Kon website only has a teaser image for now, but stay tuned to the site for details.
