I'd be happy to provide music if you need it. I have a huge collection of Exotica from the masters with a pro-grade portable system to play it on... Let me know...
Mahalo!

Hiltiki....thanks for the wake-up call, I've been sleeping at the wheel!
Okay, back on topic....
DRINKS - As the mint on my side yard has been taking off, Mai Tais and Pain Killers will be served!
GRUB - I'll be cooking up Kahlua Pork and providing those yummy sweet Hawaiian buns.
I've got plenty of plastic forks, cups and plates. I'll have a cooler with ice for any other refreshments anyone would like to bring. As with other chops, any other food and snacks, are welcome!
START TIME - I'm thinking 10:00 a.m. would be good. It will give me enough time to take my dog to the dog park. She'll need to run off any extra energy, as she gets so excited with new people. My dog is friendly, so if anyone wanted to bring their dog, I'm cool with it as long as you're dog is good with other dogs.
Atomic -- as Hil mentioned...heck yeah, music is always cool!
As the chop approaches I'll PM everyone with directions, etc.
Mahalo!

Cheeky!!
Thanks for hosting the next SFV CHOP.
Melekalikimaka and myself will be there.
I'll be working on a couple of things...a painting for the 2010 Ohana Luau at the Lake's silent charity auction and my shrunken head project for the April Art Swap.
This is going to be another nice afternoon of tiki and friends. I will send positive vibes to the weather Gods for a nice afternoon of sunshine...NO RAIN!

Atomic -- looks like my BF is taking care of the music. I've got a pretty good selection of Exotica and lots of other CDs. Thanks for the offer!

Hey folks, Geedavee sent me a message to invite me to your SF valley chop, but as I let him know I'll tell you folks too. My neighbor who is 94 years old and has been like a father to me, a grandfather to my son is dying of Cancer and I've found myself in a place where I'm the only one around who can lift him up from bed and take care of him. This has been going on for awhile now and has taken me out of the TC loop. I can't even find time to carve at home. I've been lurking when able and revel in everyones work, but posting comments on all the great work is not something i can make time for, so just to let you all know, the work is still inspirational and wish I could join you, but for now it's not possible. Thanks Dave for the invite, maybe in a few months.

T birdman -
I want to express my admiration for your care given to your neighbor, that is just awesome. Of course we will miss your presence at Cheeky's chop, but no doubt understand fully that one must do what is necessary.

Yes...Birdman, it's a good thing you're doing. There are a lot of people in this world that just don't care. It's a reminder that we all need to be good to each other. You're a good neighbor, Samaritan and person. You're humanity and and thoughfulness will be paid back 10 fold. Stay strong.
My mom is going to be 75 this year, and I can't be around her 24-7, so I rely on her neighbors to keep me abreast of anything unusual. Can't tell you how much I appreciate good neighbors and friends.

GROG have to see where GROG at in the ceramic-making process. If GROG at a point where GROG can bring stuff to work on, then GROG will be there.

Hi there!
I've always been interested in getting into carving and other forms of tiki art and it seems like chops are the place to see brilliant artists in action.
Is it cool to come hang out & watch people work? Or, are chops primarily for those working on pieces?

Capt. Falernum, most peep work on a project, but if you're interested in taking a crack at a certain art medium it's cool to observe. It gives you more of an appreciation of how much time is involved in certain crafts.
Just one example, I never really knew the process of mug-making until I saw artists in action like Babalu and Bowana giving us lessons and demonstrations. It gives you a real appreciation when you see something go from an idea, to a drawing then wet clay to a mug you hold in your hand. It truly is amazing.
