Well I got home about 1:45 and I had such a great time. What an amazing turnout .There were so many artists and fans there , it was overwhelming. I think if they dropped a bomb on the Tonga Hut last night that all of California Tiki would be lost .Thanks to all for the compliments on my Amity Thrillkitten tiki photos ,sorry that I only brought 10 to hand out . Anyway ...get out of bed and post those pics . I think I was in 50 photos,most of them by Johnny Pinstriper .
Thanks again , Tiki-Ray

Thank you to all the artists who participated in the show (plus Kirby), Suzy for helping put this thing together, Nick Camara of Tiki Magazine, and Ana and Jeremy of the Tonga Hut. And special thanks to all the people who came to the show. I hope everybody enjoyed it as much as GROG did. (Maybe a little TOO much, damned VooDoo Juice just tastes too good!)
Squid------Oh, you're hilarious, you bastard! He had his daughter draw a sign that said "GROG" and then brought some rocks and set them out on display like GROG was selling GROG's art. The things GROG has to put up with!! Sheesh.
Plus, Congratulations to Tiki Tony for being the featured artist in Tiki Magazine, and for doing such a great cover piece for the magazine.
Turned out to be really great event, we'll definitely have to do it again.
Mahalos-------GROG

All hail Grog, Atomikitty, Jeremy, Ana and Nick from Tiki Mag! You guys put on a fab event. The Hut is a great place to hang. Jeremy and Ana are doing a service to humanity by restoring it. The joint was packed all night!!!
DJ Lee was spinnin' mad vinyl grooves throughout to keep everyone in total audio bliss. Cheers, Lee!
It was great meeting new folks and seeing those I already know (although a name or 2 may slip the noggin after Johnny's Voodoo Juice).
tOny's new mugs rock and I pity the fool who didn't snag one like Al and I did when tOny wasn't lookin'.
Squid very sorry Grog not sell any pretty rocks
Things I learned:
•BigTikiDude really IS a Big Tiki Dude.
•SoccerTiki always has tongue out for photos.
•Johnny Pinstriper cleans up really well!
•Little Lost Tiki has good table manners and plays well with the other kids.
•tOny will not sign anything with "Aloha, winning eBay bidder----Tiki tOny".
•Stop after Voodoo Juice #3.
Here's to the next Tonga Hut show!

Hi folks. Here's my first post to this forum. Must say it was a great party last night. Lot's of nice and friendly people. Almost everyone asking "Are you at the Tiki Central" . Ok, so here I am
For a Tiki-novice like me, it was great to see so much cool art. Ended up byin' "some" stuff as well. Not easy to get this kind, back home in Norway.
Here's some shots from last night
First wave:
