Suggestions on where to stay. We live here in Long Beach so here are some palces but I can't vouch for the conditions since I've never stayed. Belmont Shore Inn Motel is down the beach on Ocean Blvd. by the pier and the Belmont Pool, it's a hike but you could walk all the way down the beach, and it doesn't look real fancy (between a big liquor store and a VONS.) Seaport Marina Hotel is on PCH on the other side of the bay, looks nice, probably a 20-30 minute walk over the brige and through Naples island. A little further down PCH is the Golden Sails Best Western. Hope that helps.

Thanks Tiki Matt! You are going to receive some excellent Karma for doing this! I predict strong sales at your booth, and many
bikini clad women dropping something in front of your booth, then slowly bending over to pick it up...

Hey everyone, this is going to be a great event!
TCers please stop by the FALLING COCOS booth and say hi to "Weence" and I. Remember TCers get discounts.
Does anyone if King Kukulele is bringing his Freaky Tikis? My 10 year old will be with us. We all think the King rocks.

So I have finished the design for the official t-shirt as a sort of last minute thing, but it looks great. I will also be doing a VERY limited edition (30 or fewer) official tiki mug that will sell for $35-$40 each. This is the Macumba design in orange without the shot glass or coaster with the TIKI BEACH FESTIVAL logo in 3D lettering . I will have these in my booth along with some other new stuff and a few $100 tikis!!
The hot rod car exhibition will be led by Von Franco's personal car and a few other choice rides from Long Beach's own car club "the Cavaliers" . Von Franco will be sharing my booth selling his world class wares along with his lovely wife. C'Al is also going to be there spreading his Awesome Tiki Mana as well as the Sugar Caddy and The Farm. The music is dialed in and The King will be there with the Freaky tikis trying out something "NEW"! as well as the Truly Smokin" MENEhunes and the classy Mai Kai Gents. Sat and Sunday will be great with Sunday geared towards the TIKI crowd, but don;t let that stop you from going both days.

This is the official T-shirt design(not colors) for the event and will be available for sale there at the TBF merchandise booth along with a Tiki Diablo VERY LIMITED EDITION orange glazed mug(30 pcs total) for $40 ea.
I am rolling out a new design on a black T with cream ink for the fellas. It is the Chi Chi Tee and as usual my T's are naughty but nice . A woman's T will also be available in a different color combo. You will be able to get these in my booth and after the event as well .

Hey Danny, Cool design for the festval. I've got to have one. My son will want one too. Will you have small sizes, he's 10 yrs old. Will it show the date and location?
Maybe I could whip out a little serigraph before Friday. I'm working on a new one right know called "Tiki Lagoon". We'll have this weekend. You can see it on our website.

My wife Nina & I are going to the Belmont Fest on Saturday rather than Sunday. They're advertising "Tiki Carving" Saturday vs "Vendors" Sunday. I think this means some kind of carving demo.
Does anyone know who is doing the demo and what time it will be?
Mahalo, Aaron.

I'll be carving at my booth both days , but am not sure if others will be as well. Gene, you can set up any time you want on Fri. Hope you read this because it was too late to call you tonight.
