PCH was open so we made the drive and it was definately worth it. Lotsa TCers there. Too bad Tikitony sold the painting I wanted while we were looking at the travel stuff. Doug Nason's slide show was great, but his tinted photos he had on display should be in a book! Does Crazy Al ever carve a bad Tiki? A good way to spend a Sunday.

I am the proud owner of the Bamboo Ben Hawaiian tiki bar posted by the entrance - I love it!
(Takes the sting off missing Doug Nasson's tiki slide show because I wanted to watch the Laker game [particularly when they lost]).

Hey All!
LAWebchick & I had a simply marvelous time! We got some great swag from TikiTony,(sorry Bongo), and thoroughly enjoyed ALL the exibitions. Chris, you really scored on that bar, K. & I kept coming around to check out the finish; BBen, was that shellac or laquer? Cold or regular? It was truly bitchin'.
Our only regrets were not being able to stay for the slide show, tho' we did talk to Doug about the prints; and not being able to get the attention of that vixen Cherry Capri. Oh! To be caught like a deer in those headlights! just joshin', sweetie, you know where my heart lives.
All in all, a swell time. I thank the folks that put this together, and hope to support more events in the near future. Timmy

Thanks for a great time and all my wonderful new items from Otto, Tikitoni, Adrift clothing, and Crazy Al (and for taking the time to talk to me and my husband about carving). Loved the prints from Doug Nason. Congrats to Christiki on the Bamboo Ben bar! Wish I could have bought more (but that's how it always is!)

A BIG MAHALO!! To everyone who came out and supported the local tiki craftsmen. It was great seeing and talking to everyone... Sorry if I rambled, but I feel so lucky to be doing what I'm doing. Adrift gives a grand Mahalo too! Marcus is in Thailand shooting some adrift catalog stuff for our upcoming catalog, and rebuilding from the Tsumami.

A surprisingly good time, and it was fun to see so many folks I hadn't seen in a while. Anyone else seriously considering Doug Nason's tiki tour?
Here are my pics:

I'm pretty sure I'm going on the cruise! A chance of a life time, I thought if would be a long time before I got to visit the places I obsess over.
