We're up to 3 bands, 540' of tiki string lights, a fire breathin' volcano, a mini easter Island with mondo Moai's, the Gilligan's pit, mugs for all, T Vic's paddle swizzle's for all, swanky tunes between bands, a gigantic pre-gallery showing with the Shag decanters, new Shag prints, 3 giant Tiki surfboards, Miles Thompson originals, custom hand-painted mugs, 1 of a kind hand made tiki swizzles & shift knobs... holy camolee - not a lot of sleep for this here farmer over the next few weeks! Rumor has it that the press will be there in full force - so wear those coconut bras! We've got big ol' vintage style Peacock chairs amidst other funky ol' vintage hawaiian style chairs (to rest yer weary buns after gyratin' to The Eliminators!!), we'll have a mini tiki maze entry, a stick your head in the tiki panels thing to look like a giant humanesque tiki, foggers, crazy spot lighting... unbeleebable! Ltd. edition t's will be $12.50, posters $20 (both by the swanky and talented Mr. Miles Thompson - http://www.kooch.e.koo.com).

Guests will be all of our fellow centralites who can make it plus a lot of fun people who are non-centralites, don't know what tiki central is, but have giant tikis in their yards or in their shops and who like potent cocktails and good tunes!

The giveaway gift bags are growing in their contents - surprise, surprise!! The hotels are booking up and are now trying to up their rates because of the "overwhelming bookings" - one guy had a $59 rate, reduced it to $49 and then immediately raised it to $89 - not very tiki if you ask me but I have no control over that.

Attendees: Easily 300 but keep spreading the word as you can never have enough mai tais, tiki centralite party hounds & martin denny cranking from the mondo boom box!
