It was so AWESOME to see everybody, eyeball great art, fill the ears with sweet tunes and bask in aloha and tiki vibes which permeated shelter island. I took a few pics but started off my trip by leaving my "gig" bag on my first flight to Honolulu which had my ipod and camera cables in it. The bag is in safe hands but not in my possession. I will post my pics as soon as I can get them on my laptop. (I may have to invest in one of these things.) Highlights for me were: Seeing so many of the Tiki Central Ohana again in such a great venue. BIG OLD MAHALOZ to Nick, Michelle, Eileen, Jonpaul, Holden, all the artists and musicans who made this event a really really good time and worth every penny and popped brain cell spent. Seeing and talkin' with so many people who enjoyed my art and the story of the Tiki and Turtle Travelers. I can never say it enough times how much your support and encouragement means to me. Monkeyman!! You're a good dude and I am stoked to call you a buddy! Mahalo to all you I am stoked to finally meet up with Tiki Chris in person for the first time in person over years of friendship and collaboration. It was also a pleasure to also have a drink and talk story with Tikiyaki, Digi Tiki, Lake Surfer, Tiki Shark and Tiki Racer. Ravenne! I kept meaning to say hello to you but when I finally disengaged my mouth you was gone. Thanks to Moki and Rick for bringin' down some grinds from upstairs. You guys spared what probably would of been a raging hangover the next morning. I look forward to meetin' Auggie Doggie some time! CONGRATS!! Shushing in Ali'i's room till we were all finally kicked out. Invading the Humphrey's club and drunken dancing to the new Commodores all the while blowin' minds with our hot tiki crazy leg action. I scored lots or nice goodies too! Coloring book, mug and print by Little Lost Ruzic. A commemorative pendant from Crazy Al, a really cool simian picture book from Tiki Chris, a shell necklace from beautiful Hula dancers and a one of a kind, hand crayoned collaboration on breakfast napkin by Suzy, Swampfire, Grog, Kirby and Big Tiki Dude. (yes the Big Tiki Dude has art mad art skillz.) BTD, thanks for drivin' and gettin' us all to a good eatery. It was really really cool to sit down with all of you and talk art, share stories and adventures. Surfin' some juicy waves with my friends in Encinitas before the show. I am now waitin' to hook up with Tiki Chris and Tiki Racer and make our way North. We will be stoppin' by the Farm for the nickel tour compliments of Makedamug and a visit to Little Lost Tikis Studio for a peek at some eye candy ala Ruzic. Then off to the Bay Area for the crawl along with a few Tiki stops on the way. Wagons ho! Lost-Isle Coconut Wired Podcast Barefoot bloggin'
