Just got back into town after a tiki packed weekend in LA. The event was a blast and had a pretty good turnout. EAC did a nice job with the event. We shared a table with Crazy Al, Bamboo Ben, TikiCutie and Hiphipahula. Got to visit with WooHoo/Soccertiki, Holden, Kevin and Jody. Also shared a drink with Al-ii, bigtikidude, Mai Tai and Coco Loco up at the Tiki Ti the night before on their way over to Taix.
To top it off, I also won one of the raffled ETR watercolor prints. Overall, a very successful weekend.

Hey! I know it was mentioned that Holden was at the gig representing Tiki Farm, BUT.... I don't think everyone knows that he held a raffle for a basket of very-hard-to-find mugs. He raised over $300 for a local charity that helps get low-income families with children out of hotels and into a more family oriented apartment atmoshpere. What an idea! And Whatta Guy!!!!!!! Cheers Holden!!!!!

This was a great event. I now have a Wally Boag original.
I used it as an excuse to take a picture with him.
And this is for Mr. Smiley....

I think the guy might have been a tc'er, but a giant aloha filled mahalo to the guy who came up and slapped down $100 for the raffle tickets and simply said "it's for a good cause - just get me the tickets when you can" and ultimately won the basket. I was very happy that he won and if you're out there, I wanted to say thank you!

Wow! What an awesome time that was! Great getting to see everyone and meet CocoLoco and Mai Tai for the 1st time!! Thank you, Cheeky, for sharing your room, drinks and hospitality!
Although we didn't win anything, I am so happy to hear about Holden's generosity! My Pops runs a charity called Cool Waters (not the charity recvg Holden's generosity). He takes food, supplies and school items to families that are kinda stuck in motels. They have just enough to stay in a room, not enough to get out and make deposit on a rental any where! You'd think it wouldn't be so bad, but it's not your average motels. These places are the least expensive. That means the oldest, most run down. Tourists do not stay at these places! There are gangs, drugs, filth. The parents (if there are 2!) work full time-plus. The kids are left to their own devices. The food is sparce. The clothing ratty. The kids have very little, as the rooms are so small and they can't store much. They usually sleep on the floor. The rooms are often shared by a lot of people. Not a Norman Rockwell setting. Amazingly, and completely WRONG...there are some MILITARY families that get stuck in this pattern!!
Awesome that TC got to help!! Warms the cockles of my heart!

Thanks to Dave Oneal for this great event. It was very generous of him to give me another venue to sell my paintings and let me talk about the tikiroom rehab I was on.
It was so cool meeting all the people who love this attraction as much as I do.
The best part for me was getting to "wake up Jose" and then getting to sing with Wally Boag at the podium.
Sorry it has taken me so long to get these photos up:
Thanks to everyone who bought my artwork. I am so sorry I didn't get the chance to go around and meet the other artists (totally lame of me). I arrived late and set up in a flurry, and hardly got to meet anyone at all.
I was a bit star-struck and a bit drunk and a bit rushed and totally flustered. Please forgive me anyone if I forget your name or face, I was in a fog on cloud nine.
Cheekygirl! I went up to your room after I left the park at 9:30pm, but no one answered the door. I was looking forward to just calming down and hanging out and really getting into some normal conversation where I could get to know people...so I'm sad that this did not happen. I'm sure we will see each other again.
Everyone was so nice and genuine and fun. It was a blast!

Eeek! I should have given you my cell #. We stopped at the Disney Art Gallery and watch a bit of the fireworks from the balcony. Finding the correct trolley back to our hotel room was crazy. We ended up cabbing it. The ride back was like "Mr. Toad's Wild Ride". He kelp on yelling "Hold on" as we swerved through yellow lights and high speed turns!

TikiCutie, we must have arrived back at the room just a few minutes after you left. Bummer! We were heading out of the park at the same time, but I had to stop at the gallery briefly to return something. We watched the fireworks briefly for a minute, and headed out.
Cheekygirl is right, that Anaheim Transportation Trolley system sucks big time! And we couldn't figure out which trolley was ours exactly. And since our original trolley ride into the park was supposed to be just a few blocks, but instead took us way out into residential Anaheim due east of the park for several miles, and then came back to the Disneyland area, without making any kinds of stops whatsoever - weird - we didn't want to go through that again. I knew where the cab stop was, so we decided to speed things up by taking a cab. And although it was a pretty wild cab ride, it turned out to take only minutes, and cost us less than half the cost of the trolley! (never again will I take that trolley!!!). Sorry we missed you, it must have been by minutes.
Cripes, I'm on there, and not in good form! I'm going to start being more careful with my poses, you never know where they're gonna wind up!
Hey Dave, see you at Tiki Farm. Will you be selling any of those prints that you had Bob Gurr sign?
