Went to the grand opening of the 'Call of Kapu' last Wednesday night in Lonlon, took us 3 hours to get there in heavy rain, but was it worth it!!! WOW!! How kool was it! And as for Shag, he was great, what a very kool guy and really down to earth, he really appreciated everything that was going on and was pleased so many fans turned up. The venue was great, the bar was great and it was a great evening, its about time we got tiki things over here, we loved it!
Thanks to everyone concerned, do it again SOON!

Aye, I've a few photos to put up but Shutterfly is down as I write. Maybe later!
Had an excellent night seeing my fellow Brit Tiki Centralites - always a pleasure - as well as getting a chance to have a good old chat with Shag who was a lovely chap. Great to see Cheekytiki's bar and carvings complimenting Shag's paintings and prints too.
Anyway, no doubt the photos will tell the story a little better, though I was enjoying myself far too much to take good pics!

PS - Shame not to see you there Tikiwagon, but I'm glad to see you managed to get onto Tiki Central.

This is a great pic. Woody, you look just like a kid on Christmas morning who just got the best gift you could've ever hoped for. Classic.
But I'm wondering...where the hell is your left hand and why does Shag have that strange inscrutable smile??
