AlooooooooHA!!!!
Greetings from the Ohana secret underground bunker, where we continue to work on our fiendish plots of supporting good causes through great events …and time travel.
And along the time travel lines, not only is Ohana weekend chock full of Eisenhower Era tiki goodness (and live bands, and shows, and food, and vendors, and fun fun fun) but we’ve also got the kickoff party on Thursday night bristling with 70s funk & 80s cheese.
Yeah, we’re setting the WABAC machine to just a few decades ago, and ripping it up, prom style!!
Held in Club Whispers (virtually unchanged since the mid 80s with disco balls, walls of colored lights, lasers, etc), “In the Air Tonight” promises to be a funkadelic, rockin’ good time, featuring DJ Hi-Fi Hijinks spinning all the classics of the 70s & 80s.
$25 gets you in, and we’re even including dinner, so break out your old bell bottoms, parachute pants, Aqua Net & Member’s Only jacket, and like totally be there!!
Prom the way it should have been, with great folks, food, music & cocktails. Don’t forget to vote for King & Queen!
You can add Prom tix to your Ohana package on the ticket page: http://www.luauatthelake.com/id4.html
You don’t want to miss this. I’m sure folks will be talking about it for months to come!
. . .
And now, on a totally different subject (sorry, I couldn’t come up with a segue for this one) I’ve been getting a lot of questions about what vendors are going to be there, so folks can gauge how much cash to bring (don’t worry, there’s an ATM right next door if you don’t want to travel with cash).
Well, I’m excited to say that we have an absolutely STELLAR lineup of vendors, most of whom are making their ONLY East Coast appearance at Ohana!!
Want a list? Of course you do.
SquidArt – Offering killer mugs & ceramics!
Tiki Objects by Bosko - Handcrafted Tiki creations!
Gecko’z Souths Seas Arts – sweet custom Mugs & more… all the way from Hawaii!
Lake Tiki – Outrageously detailed tiki carvings!
Babalu – Kickass Ceramics & mugs!
Jeff Chenault - Vintage vinyl & gems for your Hi-Fi!
FireMonkey Glass – Flat out Amazing handmade goodies in Glass!
Tiki Farm –Mugs, Mugs & more Mugs!
Fashion Tramp – Mind blowing custom clothing with a retro flavor!
Tiki Magazine – Words & pictures to titillate your eye holes!
Velveteen Lounge – Kitschy crafts & clothing that’ll WOW ya!
Tortuga Tile Works – Super cool detailed tiles for your tiki bar/home!
Onomatopoeia -Vintage Clothes to dress you to the nines!
The Leeward Lounge - If it can be carved, Finkdaddy has carved it!
BambooLodge – All things Vintage. Clothes, trinkets, mugs… you name it!
Luxe Couture -Beautiful handmade vintage-inspired attire!
Old Clothes - Fabulous vintage threads for you & yours!
Zanti Jewelry – Custom tiki cameos & jewelry. Tiki & beyond!

Holy shopping spree!!!!
I’ll be up at 8am power-walking the vending area everyday(I figure its better than the outlet malls nearby) but vending wont start until 11am on Saturday and 2pm on Friday (for those who WANT to be open. No pressure. We’ll be consumed with Room Crawl shenanigans & live music on Friday anyway!!)
So, what are you waiting for? If you haven’t bought tickets yet, don’t delay. We’re getting close to sold out!!
See ya at the Lake!!!

Ha! I'll believe that when I see it!
Now, if you want to wait until around 11-ish to power-walk the vendors area I'll join you.
Wait, Andy and I are vending..... how about instead we'll do the lap thing and hand off Bloody Marys every time you go past.

In fact, I'm gonna do it at 6:30am, and then go back to my room & rest my eyes until 10 or 11 each day...

The swag for Ohana has started to arrive....
and HOLY BIG TICKET ITEMS!!!!!!!
Much love to all of our Sponsors & Donors!!
Especially our Menehune and Outrigger level Sponsors, who have gone above & beyond what any of us expected, and shown why they ARE our Top Level Sponsors:
Folly Cove Rum
Trader Vic’s
Dole
Kahiki Foods
Royer
I cant let the surprises out, but lets just say that the value of the swag alone is MORE than the Ohana ticket price!!! For real.
That's not some marketing/selling/ "act now or lose out" bullshit. We've got stuff that we're giving to everyone FOR FREE (thanks to our generous Sponsors) that would cost you MORE to buy than an Ohana ticket!!!!
And then we're feeding ya, giving ya a Polynesian Show, and bombarding your senses with sights & sounds to last a lifetime. BEST. VALUE. IN. TIKI. period. Ok, that part was me selling, but its true.
We've always tried to give attendees as much as possible, and this year, you folks are in for some major treats!!
Can't wait to see ya at the Lake!!
ps. BIG email announcement to go out (hopefully) today. Keep your eyes on your inbox!

The mug is available to Ohana attendees ONLY, and there are only 100 of them, so don't delay.
Also tomorrow we start our Make Tiki History poll/contest where our attendees get to NAME the Iconic Tiki who guards the entrance to the resort, and is the basis for this years mug!!!
If you havent bought tickets yet, there's still time (but not much) to get in on all the action.
