Yeah what AtomicTony said... wish I could have stayed longer and been there this weekend too. But alas I had to get back to the smoke and smog of LA. LOL!
Thanks for the write-up Jim! I had a great time hanging out with everyone and drinking too much Rum! Sadly I never got my Crab Bucket, but it gives me a goal for next year!

We just got back from a great afternoon trip to the bar and show,even though i had to drive the virgin drinks were fab,I hope this will happen again next year,Shame we missed a few of you on saturday night as we had a very drunken wedding to attend (shame the bar there had no cocktails though!)Then on our long journey home the car decided to spring a fuel leak just outside of town but it was soon fixed though it just made us home a lot later than we thought,Thanks to Liz and Chris and Simon and Nena for the company and to the organizers of the art show, shame we couldnt stay longer

Sounds like a good time has been had by all over the last fortnight!! I'm looking forward to some picture posts too. Sorry the timing was a bit off and we couldn't all be there at the same time, but...next year...we'll make it one hell of a HastingsTikiHootenanny! Dave you sound like you enjoyed the local virgins as much as Sian did?!! I also hear that Tiki Racer played around down there...can that be right? I don't believe it!!!!
Take care - Trader Jim (Make mine a Mai-Tai!).

Just a final thanks to everyone who came down... It was a really good time. The mug for this years event will be on its way soon and I'll let you all know when it arrives and you can get in touch if you fancy a souvenir from the sea side.
See you all next year for the first annual Puttiki Mini Golf Championship and another showing of art!

Thanks to everyone. We had a blast, great tiki art, great cocktails in the bar, impressive game of crazy golf, some amazing plants growing on the sea front, crazy campsite and some brilliant Navy Grogs (thanks Liz) and an amazing fish BBQ (cheers Chris).
And FANTASTIC company.

So the rumours were right! You did play a round (sorry about the confusing typo in the previous post)...I don't believe it!!! Nearly as much as I don't believe those trousers!!! What's with the loud colours and patterns? When did tiki ever have loud colours and pat...oh yeah, Dave's shirts, my mistake. Forget I even posted. Love the pictures guys, thanks! Oh yeah, that reminds me TR, can I have my alice Cooper LP and Jimmy Tarbuck videos back? Mahalo!
Take care - Trader Jim (Make mine a Mai-Tai!).

Does anyone know the name of the B&W photo behind the bar, with the tiki kneeling over the woman? Looks 40's -ish.

I thought it might have been Clara Bow and said so to Nina at the time...
I went hunting and found this fab web site http://www.southseascinema.org but no proof that it is Clara.

Thanks once again to everyone who attended, the fantastic work of Hunny Lu Lu's, Emmali, Jo and V. The sponsors and of course all of the artists and the good folks who bought art.
There wil be a mug, which should be available at the bar, to celebrate the bar and the show. Once we have confirmation of it's release date we'll up date this and maybe even drop those on the mailing list an e-mail for first dibs, so keep 'em peeled.
Plans for next year are already being banded about so keep your eyes here, and where ever else you might have found us (myspace, website and facebook).
We'd be very keen to add some more pictures to our gallery for this year, so if you have any you'd be happy to share pass them over to info@bootiki.net

The photograph is by Man Ray... He did a lot of really nice pieces with Tiki and Tribal carvings.
Try this site:

Hope that helps.

If only I'd looked...
Instead, I had to consult the scarily expansive art brain of Los Furias Snr... Now I owe him a Zombie.

Good show !
I popped in both weekends but sadly seemd to miss people altogether or arrive as others were leaving (I wont take it personally  )
I am a big fan of Hastings as i was born there ( St Leonards actually) I have been known to describe it as the Havanna of the south coast of England - I mean that most fondly.
The Large plants on the sea front caught my eye too. i guess they must be flowering? as i'm sure i would have noticed them before. Thanks to Liz for the identification !
Sorry I did'nt take as many photos as i intended.
West Hill Cafe :
Sea Gull :
Our Lovely Hosts & and Phil ( Brighton Rumble)
Colourfull Underground car park :
Thanks for all the compliments on my carves.
See You all next Time
Tark
