We DO have some AMAZING drink specials for the night! 
The Two I am sure of, and VERY excited about are:
We will be PREMIERING an amazing new drink special created specifically for the TONGA HUT by our very own TC OHANA-PiPhiRho!
THE TONGA LEI draws it's inspiration from the 3 main exports of TONGA-Coconut, Vanilla and Bananas. Blend those with some spicy notes of gold rum, falernum and orange bitters, and you've got a winner! Be the FIRST to get Lei'd at the Tonga hut on Saturday the 26th!
THE LECHEE NUT MARTINI features Premium Lechee nut liquor chilled and strained with pink grapefruit juice! (served with a lechee nut thank you very much!)
This is light and delicious with a perfect tart/sweet balance.
Other drinks I am considering:
The Cosmonut (A tiki-sputnik-like spin off of a white Russian with Macadamia nut liquor, Iced coffee, liquor 43 and cream)
The Planet of the Apes (Beachbum's recipe with Dark rum, creme de banana and citrus juices)
The Pink Squirrel (Creme to noyaux, Creme de Cacao, Creme)

TIKI-RAY:
I've had an amazing tiki year with sales , shows , and calender work that will soon be in stores like Wal-Mart.I decided to give back and auction this piece off for the tiki fans . I will be bringing this piece to the show and starting the bidding at less than 1/2 price ($150.00). Anyone who wants to bid on it can add their price and name to the auction list . At 11:00 pm , whoever has the highest bid takes it home . It is 3-1/2 foot tall , 19"wide and 17" deep. Its kind of oval shaped .It has 2 coats of "Man o War" spar var on it . It is hand carved and burnt plus tattooed with wood burning tools . I hope you enjoy it , Tiki-Ray

I'm drinking a Tonga Lei right now.
Except I f&*&ed it up. Put the wrong rum in. Still not too bad, though. I'm kinda f*&)ed up, too. No doubt Suzy will do much better.

Good idea to start a new thread, Squirell and mokey free just art and friends!
I wanted to thank Grog and Atomikitty for inviting me and Tiki-ray for Vending for me. I'm from Argentina, so I won't be there in person just in spirit with my art...
I'm very honored and happy to be a part of this event, Thanks again!!

I recently posted that Im auctioning off my tiki at the Tonga Hut . I also posted it on myspace trying to promote the show . Now Im getting hits from people asking if they can bid now on it or try to buy out from underneath the show . I had to tell them that I carved it for the the Tonga show and they will have to bid like everyone else . So I guess a few more people are coming Susanah, dont run out of rum .Is there a possibility that they can have some Redbull or something for us tiki people who dont drink alcohol? If not,no problem . Ill stick with Cokes .

Great Ray! The More the merrier!
Yes, I will make sure there is Redbull or Monster for you, and I will probably be bringing in some Reed's Ginger Beer as well.
Thanks for sticking to your guns and not selling that awesome tiki to sneaky myspace pre-bidders . . . if they want to support the tiki scene, they gotta come out to the bars and art shows like the rest of us!
TikiDav, can't wait to meet you-your sculptures are amazing!
THOR, I know you are a talented and busy artist, and we are so happy to have you in our show! We may not be in Hawaii, but we will do our best on Saturday to make it feel like a bit of a vacation for you!
