Hello Tiki Central Ohana!
Greg (TikiG) here to pose a question...
I would love to host a CHOP and ART JAM at my home.
At this time a handful of members have expressed interest in a CHOP located in the SF Valley of So. Cal. and it would be my pleasure to open my home to such a creative social event.
I'm in Sylmar, located near the 118/210 freeways in the eastern San Fernando Valley.
The next step and the reason for this initial post, is to open the dialog between us to hash out a date that suits all interested parties. Any weekend date, December or next year?
My initial thought is to hold it Sunday, December 13th - the day of the Tonga Hut art show hosted by GROG. But due to concern by other members, I'm now leaning more towards January - after the holidays.
Who's interested? What date? - please join in the discussion and we'll see what happens.
It would be really, really cool if all my T.C. friends could make the scene.
Thanks everybody!

My preference is for a Saturday in January. Weather permitting.
December is always a crazy month while January usually has nothing going on.
Looking forward to a local chop.

January sounds good, I work on Saturdays, Sundays are better. But if everyone wants Saturday I can get there around noon.

Hey TikiG,
I think it is really cool that the Chops are growing to outside of the SD area  Hil and Cheeky are Chop veterans from way back...It would be even cooler if we could figure out a way to have a Chop going on down here at the same time you have one going on up there next month...
Let the Chop grow! Think Global!

Babs - Yeah baby! GLOBAL (and - if you can make it to my pad I would be honored as well.)
What potential this idea presents; Live internet communication between groups during the same day etc etc
This isn't a contest but let's face it there's a waft of friendly competition (maybe competition is too strong a word) There's room for everyone, all degrees of skill, all mediums and forms expression. Musicians are welcome to join in. Photographers. Writers. Everyone in a creating frame of mind - WELCOME!
Let me say early on it is not my intent to separate anybody from you south county guys.
Most of you have inspired me to continue with the tiki scene, even though I've only carved one tiki in my life and that was with a Dremel! My intent is to accommodate, at least once, local artists who otherwise may never have the chance to hang out for a while (I'm really looking forward to meeting some of you for the first time too!)

G, that's what it's all about!
There's no competition. Nobody really want to drive long distances, so a closer alternative is a good thing!
All we ask is that you post pics!

Jan. 23rd works for me! I'll be there with my router. I'll be making up some more tiki panels for the tiki bar. Just need access to some power. I need to get off my duff and stop (oops) bitchin' about how busy I've been and start doing!
I'll put it out there, I'll host a San Fernando Valley chop in March (Lake Balboa aka West Van Nuys). Rain or shine, tiki bar ready or not.

Great to hear there will be some wood-working project(s) happening!
Personally I'll be painting and crafting some swag lamps.
There will a free-for-all canvas happening. More on that soon.
This is going to be a great creative day for all. Hope to see you there as everybody will be ready and roaring to create some art!

If anyone is interested in carving, want to get their feet wet, but don't want to invest in chisels yet, I can bring a few sets of chisels for anyone to use.
