With Oasis next week and Hukilau just around the corner, it's almost time to start thinking about Chicago in August. By way of helping local venues anticipate how many of you to expect, let us know if you're thinking about showing up. You'll be glad you did...
(And check out the newly updated Exotica 2003 site over at http://www.konakai.com/exotica )

Of all the events this summer, this one is the closest to us, so we'll almost certianly be there.
I just wish we knew about this a bit earlier! We are already heading to Chicago May 9-11 to catch a rock show and check out Hala Kahiki and Trader Vic's, and now it looks like we'll be back again three months later. Oh well, it's a short trip, so I don't mind making it twice.

Kiliki and I will be there. I will try to get another friend from Minneapolis to come over and join the party.
We love Chicago. If I didn't have a daughter keeping me here, that's where I would be living.
And we can go back through Lowell Indiana and see what great stuff that antique store has!

Chicagoooo Chicaaagoooo, that tawdlin' town! (sp?)
Yep. It's only 8 - 9 hour drive from Toronto. In Canadian terms, that's close as hell. We'll be there!
Gonna cancel for the Hukilau though. Anyone want my room?

Due to the decentralized nature of the Exotica events (they're all over town at different times and days) there has, as yet, been no specific plans made for a gathering of artists or a planned sale. There is a gallery show in development, for which we hope to have more information soon, as well as a sizeable tiki presence at a local all-night flea market. We're also going to see if we can locate a centralized exhibitor space to little swap meet and sale, but again, these things aren't as locked down yet as one might like. Hope your summer planning still goes well...

If only to see the man who danced with his own wife, I am definitely going to try for this one. At the very least, perhaps Mrs. O'Leary's cow will be in evidence.
Eurgh, I'm having Judy Garland show-tune hot flashes.
Anyway, I was born in Illinois. I owe the darned state a visit at least once in my life. And although budgetary restrictions may result in my sleeping in a cardboard box under someone's hedge, still...
Wonder if anyone's planning on driving from California? Hmmm? Do I hear a road trip, I'm hoping???

Hi, my name is Dawn and I'm a newbie to this site. I would love to attend Exotica 2003. Could someone let me know some more information? I live in the burbs and have frequented Hala kahiki. As a matter of fact, Hala Kahiki is right behind my parents house. I collect all types of older barware my favorite of course, tiki. I would love to make a home bar and any helpful hints that you could throw my way would be of great help.
Thanks!!
