howzit peopo,
Is anybody gon be by or live close to LAX airport on da 12th of June? I arrive at 9:45pm and don't want to ask mom or dad to drive all da way from Oceanside (San Diego county) fo pick me up dat late. I jus need a place fo crash and den I can rent a car in da mornin and drive to my ohana'z house.
If anybody wana suck em up dat night, I'm down for a few. I gotta get bizzy da next morning though. I'm pressed fo time. Only gon be in Cali till da morning of da 26th, den to da sunshine state of Florida. The 12th is a Thursday I tink.
Drop me an email.

Hey G, I got you covered on this. I own a couch and you can sleep on it? My condo is the official LAX pitstop for the family since we're like 8 minutes away.

Hey Gecko - Give me a shout when you get to San Diego. Maybe we can get together in O.B. with my Stepdaughters who live there & grew up on the North Shore. They're always up for meeting & talking story with people from the islands. And they got plenty boards laying around if you wanna hit some waves.

Wait a minute Gecko. You get in LAX at 9:45 pm, then you gotta get down to AlnPearly Shell's place, then drink 'em up? It'll be 2 hrs. before you get to Al's, that's most likely midnite. Then you goin' to start suckin' 'em up at midnite? Jeez braddah!! Any other nite besides the 12th?

bring your daughters out when we hook up, they might like bali hai.

I guess befo we go to his house and crash we will go der?? i neva know were da p orchid stey? close to da airport? if get time fo dat, den shoots meet us ova der. But gotta make sure with Al first ya. I don't mind going from da airport den to a bar cuz i gotta calm down cuz i gon be happy to be home to see my mom and dad. plus we 3 hours behind calli which make em 6:45 my time wen i land at Lax. wat'evas Al&Shell like do. dey da ones in charge i don't have to go to work da next day but they do.
I jus gotta hook up with a buddy da next day fo get ready fo da Cruz show. Anybody know em? his name is Mike Tuitas. he's a Samoan local boy. big tiki collector. anyways I'm going to promote my new tiki panels on da mainland. I'll have these at the cruz show so come out and talk story with me. heres a pic of my main 2 designs wihich will be on my new web page.
not a whole lot of peopo know these were used in tiki bars way back wen cus most of them were thrown out cus of termites or wat'evas. I saw a don the beach pair once on ebay a looong time ago. I wanted to reproduce them cuz i think they are beautiful. ok I'm done, alohaz and see ya peepz soon.

Cool, I didn't put it together that you were arriving for the Aloha Cruz show. I'll see you there. I'll try to bring some more photos of my tikis to show you. Are you carving stuff on the mainland to sell at the show? Bringing stuff from Hawaii? Or are your panels at the Samoan friend's booth? I'll find out when I get there. Can't wait to meet ya.

ey tikifille, dats right you live in southern area to, cherry. I look towards meeting you and seeing your pics of your carvings.
"Are you carving stuff on the mainland to sell at the show?"
"da show" is on the 14th so, I won't have time fa carve stuff fo da show except fo maybe 1 tiki and that's if i can find some wood. My brother carves to so hopefully he has some at his house.
"Bringing stuff from Hawaii?"
yes. panels, and hopefully about 3 tikis made from da local coconut trees here on da island. I will be bringing my extra autographed Martin Denny posters, and if braddah HULA HULA dosen't pick up my rattan fish aquarium I'll be bringing that to.
see ya at da show.

Gecko, your brother carves too? Does he know about Tiki Central. I'd love to see some of his work. Are your styles close or different?
Hey, can't wait till you get into town. Is there a Welcome to So Cal party planned yet? I heard a rumor about a night at Tiki Ti.

wassup Pop,
ya, my little bro carves to. He dosen't go on Tiki Central. He's been carving on and off for about two years so, he's just getting into it. I got him his first chizles to get him started so he's in there. I haven't seen any of his new tikis lately but he's pretty good.
He makes them to support his Oakland Raider room. He's got my very first tiki at his house in the back yard of which he's turning into a polynesian paradise. I gotta help my man out and barter one of Boobam Bens bars for his backyard. I might bring one of his carvings to "da show"?
Tiki Ti is a must and yes, Weird Unc of da Gents plans on brining me by there fo suck'em up! so we can meet there to. I wanna see dem all Pop! bahuka, bali hai, tiki ti, etc etc....
see ya soon

Sounds like Tiki Ti it is. Sounds like your bro might also enjoy teh Hale Hawaii in Torrance, probably the only place around you'll find Tiki statues wearing Raiders caps. God I hope its the only place around, Haha.
