GROG was looking back through the pictures and noticed that, except for Woohoo and Soccer Tiki, most of the pictures are of people who have been, will be, or deserve to be kicked off Tiki Central
(including GROG!) Buncha troublemakers every one!

Yes I did, thank you very much. It is awesome! Glad you had a good time. See you soon. Thanks for being a part of the show.
And yeah, there ARE too many pictures of GROG and Kinny. We need more pics of pretty ladies. Where's Atomikitty?

Hey everybody! Jeremy and I want to thank all of you for coming out on a cold and rainy Saturday night. The show was great and we all had a blast. Believe it or not it was my first time having a Voodoo Juice (or 3)and I ended up passed out at my desk!! Good times  Thanks to all the artists,Squid for designing the flyer which is awesome by the way, Kirby for designing the first ever Tonga Hut t-shirts and Polly for selling them, tiki enthusiasts and especially Grog and Atomikitty for putting it all together. Looking forward to more in '07.
Mahalo and Merry Christmas!

Wow! What a night!
It may have been cold and rainy outside, but inside the Tonga Hut we were really feeling the LOVE from the TC OHANA! (Now, before you dirty birds get started again, I, at least, mean that in a strictly platonic sense! GROG-you'll have to tell me the story of the pic with you in the back of a van with Bamboo Ben apparently 'sans pantalones'. Then again. . .Ignorance is bliss. . . : )
THANK YOU to all the AMAZING artists, DJ Lee, Ana and Jeremy, and the bartenders of the Tonga Hut, for bringing Tiki Wonderland to life!
Many thanks to GROG, SQUID, and yes, EVEN Little Lost Tiki and Kirby for creating the TC 'Franken-thread' that we all enjoyed reading so much!
On that note-an extra special thanks to HumuHumu and Hanford for putting up with the madness, and for giving us all an outlet for our tiki obsessions!
Thank you to everyone who made it out to the show, and to all of you who wished us well and were there in spirit! Here are some pics from the show. . .I never take as many as I mean to, so I hope others will post theirs as well.
Yes, the Atomikitty seems to have been very elusive that night-no pics here either! I'm pretty sure I was there. . .unless it was all a strange dream. . .
First-the ART! The Coconut Monkey Project, with Hairflowers by Squirrelly and Brady tiki casts by Brian Byrne.
Tiki Ice's amazing 'Tower o' tikis!' Good stuff!
The Bosko corner. . .ooohhhh. . .I covet!!!
Squirrelly warms up to her new tiki. : )
See how happy COCONUT MONKEYS made these fine people?! YOU can be that happy too!
http://cocnutmonkeyproject.blogspot.com
Johnny the Pinstriper and the lovely Miss Courtney.
Steph and Jack prove you can have a pretty blue drink with an umbrella in it and STILL look tough! (or crazy.)
The mysterious polka dot girl and her man. Sorry GROG.
And finally. . .The downfall of Jeremy. . .
Awww. . .don't wake him. . .he looks like an angel with his new SQUID mug. .
GROG and Polly take advantage of the situation. . .FOR SHAME!!!!

The ghost of Rev Bamboo says,
GOOD TIMES!!!
Now, back to THE Tiki Bar in the sky!!!
( does this mean that if they have another show and I'm invited back, I have to dress up all goth? being that I'm dead??)

This was the craziest thread ever. I hadn't laughed out loud like this in a while. I got so distracted I didn't finish up some work, but it was for it.
I had a fabulous time. Art, friends, drinks, fun, laughs...What more could you ask for?
Thanks one and all!

Thanks everybody for posting pictures (except Kinny, damn you!). Thanks Suzy for pics of artwork. Now GROG can see all the stuff GROG didn't buy, but wanted. The Bosko tikis looked great in the Tonga Hut. GROG need more Bosko tikis.
P.S. Also , thanks for posting more pics of pretty ladies and less of GROG and Kinny.

What a coincidence. Ruzic was just finishing up a painting before the show as well.
