What a wonderful event to come home to: Just the right size of venue, not to big or too small, great Tiki toys and great Exotica!
In a hidden-away mid-century A-frame,

with some of the Mayfair regulars joining in,

Jim and his men sounded better than ever,

I love listening to Marty Lush's vibes, simply: Lush! And the great Tikiyaki Logo drum:

And here's the artist who carved it: Buzzy! (with Tiki Ray).

Being a drummer himself, Buzzy knows how to create drums. He had two smaller versions, which I think would make great Christmas gifts for any Tikiphile. And in that vein: Tobunga's art and wares are as unique and individual gifts as you can get, I loved the Tiki Bob bags,

I gifted myself that Rapa Nui map :) And I splurged at Bongofury's stand:

After just having had that revelation about the Luau Hut owners owning Island House here on TC the day before, I was thinking I would like one of those cooky Luau Hut logo mugs, an Voila!, there it was:

Plus, who else has DVDs of my favorite B-movie titles, "I sailed to Tahiti with an All Girl Crew" and "One Way Wahine". I even found the esoteric "Bop Girl goes Calypso" in his stash!

Then there was the always crazy Crazy Al with his ceramic masterpieces...

And Hottiki's cool display

...and Oookoolady's threads were perused by young and old:

..and the many talented artists already mentioned here. Even Dave and Sue form Hot Rod Tiki came, all the way from England to a British social club!

Grog in appropriate lodge wear greets Dave.

All in all a perfect coming home party! :)
