Another successful Forbidden Island backyard sale/reunion. Every time we go it seems we have more friends there to visit with. We also came home with an armload of tiki treasures. Our only wish is to see FI move to Elk Grove so we can avoid 5 hours in our car, other than that it was perfect. Thank you to everyone who worked to put this together, we are ready for the next one, Wendy and Dan

Get your FI souvenirs! The perfect gift. Shirts and mugs, official Forbidden Island logo items. No waiting.
Things are pretty quiet out here. Did I say no waiting?
Should of picked 3-4pm_tiki as my TC name way back when. Who knew?

ps One more great event, better than last year. I was very happy to see so many old tiki pals out and about. Kudos to all the FI ownership/staff.

I'm just dtoked TofuJoe & I were able to score Chongolio's Corner (you know, the far back left corner?).
I'm sure we sold much more because of the residual magic from last year....

Many good drinks + good people + tiki mugs = head full of rocks and an empty wallet. And it was all worth it! Can't wait til the next one(I will have hopefully sobered up by then).

That is not a hat. That is a mug lid!

What a fun time!! Thanks to Martin for organizing this, and letting me welcome the shoppers in by blowing my conch horn. Thanks to everyone attending and thanks to all the vendors for having a great variety of stuff for sale. And a HUGE THANKS to everyone who got a TWB Fishnet Float pendant necklace. (God, I sound like Sally Field...)
I didn't get chance to walk around and chat with everyone as much as I would have liked. Heck, I didn't even make it inside Forbidden Island after it opened. Thank the Tiki Gods that the KuBar was close and dispensing those wonderful Mai Tai's. And the Fish Tacos from the Taco Truck were killers (especially around 3am).
Aloha
Myke

It was SO GOOD to be home! Thank you to everyone who helped me out, put me up, bought me drinks and made me smile. Here are a few photos I took:
Hinky Drinks:
Gorgeous Rum Selection at Hinky Drinks:
Garden Detail:
That Chiminea I really wanted but had nowhere to put (really kicks out heat, too!):
Paradise in Oakland:
Our Lovely Hostess:
Tofu Joe tries to hide behind the 43 (How's this for an artistic shot?):
My superior Bocce partner mugs with his cocktail:
TikiWineBear looking dapper:
It's the Nui Nuts (and we lost. But we look pretty decent!):
Fun with the Oasis Fez:
Good Form:
Me with Mai Tai:
Rum makes for artistic shots:
The Blue Mug Club:
If you are a skull mug afraid of losing your lid, put a piece of baguette on top of your head. This magic charm works wonders.
Mai Tai's Pendant:
I love this one. Mai Tai is KICKIN' A%$ at Bocce!
Behind the Bar at Hinky Drinks:
My Booth at the sale:
With Apple Venus (I'm enthusiastically pointing at my Zazz button):
Retro Diva:
Artistic Shot of the new green FI Mug:
JenTiki Looking lovely at the FI Booth:

My favorite photograph of all time:
All you need in life is Roller Derby, Frankie, and Tiki:
Cool Gal sporting a new mug and new hair flower:
COOOOOKIE:
Suzanne, JenTiki and Jungle Trader:
Gary, Suzanne and Mai Tai:
That would seem to be a lot of photos, but, dear reader, the very best was saved for last! On my way to the Oakland airport rental car return, what do I spy on the side of the road, but..... it can't be. A WATERMELON?
Upon closer examination, it was, indeed, by the side of the lagoon, a *huge* slice of WATERMELON!
I had no choice but to have my photo taken with this! I only wished that I had managed to take that class at Okonkuluku U on sacrificial watermelon rites! Oh, how the Gods of Okonkuluku would have been pleased!
