There are usually tikis and Hawaiian music present, so this one promises to be an incredible tiki fest!

I liked seeing, in the LA Weekly, "DJ Otto with tropical music! Special guests Crazy Al and Bamboo Ben!"
I did not like seeing that they eliminated the tiki motiff from the ad.

Hey Christiki! Hows it? Adrift clothing got involved as well, and I will sneak in my little Trader booth with new paintings, prints, and of course hand carved wood tiki necklaces. I can't wait to see the slide show by Doug Nason, and did I hear Tiki carving by ... the world famous Crazy Al Evans?

As one of the artists from Otto's "Tiki Art Now" Book I will be dropping by to sign copies and hopefully to catch Doug Nason's talk in the afternoon - as in PM the only sane time for a Sunday...

Hey Everybody. The LA Travel Show was great. It was nice to see Bamboo Ben, Crazy Al, Otto, Doug Nasan, and Tiki Tony getting such a prominent location at the show. Everyone knows they were the main draw. Doug's slide show was very interesting. That upcoming Tiki Tour sounds intriguing.
Crazy Al's tiki he was working on was looking quite excellent. I was wondering how much the lucky bidder ended up getting it for?

I was glad I could make it up there, if very tired from moving my Daughter's stuff into a storage space on Saturday. I watched C'Al carve, listened to Otto spinning exotica, looked for a Tiki shirt for my Gran'Daughter from Adrift (no size 2 :sigh:), watched Doug Nason's presentation, bought an Ape CD, thought about buying a copy of "Tiki Art Now," and saw a number of Tiki Central member who I hadn't seen in person before. My only disapointment was that Ben didn't wear this suit:
Ben, I'm starting reading "How Daddy Became a Beachcomber" tonight. After I'm done should I try to make a 2nd photocopy to be sent around?

Yeah, attended TikiFest. It was pretty cool. I bought a signed copy of 'Tiki Art Now' from Otto and one of Crazy Al's tiki #13 mugs, signed! I wish Ape could've played, but there didn't seem to be much room to do much. I said 'hi' to Tiki Tony and he remembered me from Tiki Beach  Great carvings there, Tiki Tony. I had a nice time there and got to walk the Promenade.
