OK, here's two-tons of photo fun...
Uh, that would be the "Featured Carver" (he also does a ton of other cool stuff too) of Vol. 7 Issue 1 of Tiki Magazine.
"Hey Brent, look at Scott's cool jacket over there."
"Hey Krisdrama, you like my cool new jacket?"
"Hey Scott, that's a pretty cool jacket."
"This thing isn't reflecting, is it?"
"No reflecting over here."
"Apparently Dave only has three fingers on his right hand."
"It's actually a mug."
"Oh Eric that's so funny!"
"Oh my, Christian is almost smiling!"
"What the Hell am I going to write on this for Tom?"
"Thank the Gods you're here!"
Hula Goods!
"Hey Gus, it looks like Sherri's makin' Misha sniff her sleeve."
"Sherri, keep that scented sleeve away from me!"
"Ooh, fragrant!"
"Hey, what's over here?"
"It's Al, he's so crazy!"
"...and thank you everyone for being here tonight."
Oh yeah...sorry Tonga Tom, for not crediting your photo in the new issue of Tiki Magazine, I blame it on the Photo Editor. Don't worry, Holden will hook you up with some mugs."
"We love the Hula Girls"
Apologies to the men, for cutting the girls out of this photo
Oh, wait a minute, here ya go...
Trouble in the parking lot...
We actually had a few more people at this table.
"Kelly, these drinks are delicious!"
Just in case anyone forgot what Sven's first mug looks like...
"Jeremy, you're so silly."
"So let me get this right, you didn't give Tom credit for his photo in the new issue of Tiki Magazine?"
"Yeah, that guy sucks."
The Hula Girls 3rd set...They just keep giving and giving!
The lovely ladies
...and, more lovely ladies
Insert whistle sound effect here
"What's everyone lookin' at?
"Oh, so that's what everyone was looking at."
Always a head above the rest.
Except for Erik Link that is...Hangin' in the creepy loner corner by the bar
"Hey GROG, you're creepin' me out."
"Hey Kelly, GROG's creepin' me out."

Mais oui, bien sur, mon ami! Cass, that mug is a Tiki Farm open run, so I expect it it to be on the WACKO shelves soon.
And for all of Tiki Europe, Lurker ordered a bunch so they will be available at Klang und Kleid under http://www.alohawaii.de/
Tom D, you are one prolific shooter! Thanks for all the work of posting all these. Special thanks for the Bahooka mug product shot! And that kissing Big Al photo: Man, I forgot that the Mafia doesn't do that in public anymore (so the FBI can't "make" us)! 
And then THIS is my all time fave shot to portray the Bahooka experience:
They should put that on their web site (WITH your credit, of course!)

Or, if you ever do a book of MODERN Tiki (documenting the current neo-tiki scene) that would be a GREAT picture!

You know, there is ten years of great photos and even more amazing art out there that would make such a fat, rich and colorful book! Find me a good, commercial art book publisher, and I'll do it!

Tonga Tom, thank you for all the terrific photos. We miss so much fun living up in northern California. The photos really help bring it here. I can see so many friends having a good time that it makes me smile. Wendy

Totally!
What would be cool would be some side-by-side pictures....old Vs. new...like the Luau pictures in BOT right next to one of these pictures of the modern day counterparts engaging in the same activities, only 40-50 years later!

What a fun event! ATP and I had a great time exploring the Bahooka, shopping in the vending area, grooving to Big Tiki Dude's discs, and dancing to the Hula Girls. We enjoyed hanging with some our favorite people in a tropi-nautical wonderland, and topped it off with pancakes at the IHOP with Doug Horne and Grog. Congratulations to Sven and Tiki Farm on a successful mug launch, and kudos to Tiki Magazine on the new issue. Thanks to Kelly for the Tiki Revivers – you brought big smiles to everyone’s mugs!
