There was alot to be jazzed about today, But the best thing was hanging with the greatest
bunch of clowns this side of Barnum & Bailey!
Nice to chat with ya Wendy, Dani & GoGo, Benster, Holden, next time we top this!
And most of you missed the Blackout, unless you stayed late, power was out in half of Seal Beach
yet they still were serving drinks in the dark in the Dagger Bar when we left

What a terrific day! The weather, the people, the drinks, the music, all those great wares - and that in the atmospheric, authentic environs of Don the Beachcomber's! I saw all the Ohana, got plied with Mai Tais, AND made a bunch of money. Thank you Chris and Woohoo and Art, I'll be back!
...and good food, too!

congrat's guy's for a great turn out for a first time tiki market. Great vendors and all the usual suspects to make the mood just right. A great combo of music/food/drinks and swag to make it all more enjoyable to see old friends. I look forward to the next special event at Don's.

THANK YOU to those of you who travelled from far and near to be part of the International Tiki Market Place! 16 vendors and over 185 customers filled Don the Beachcomber and gave it a true "Marketplace" atmosphere!
When I walked through a cold, quiet and dark Don the Beachcomber at 8:30am to open the doors for the vendors I had NO idea those walls would soon hold the hustle and bustle of vendors and shoppers haggling over and scoring treasures all while listening to great Hawaiian music and sipping classic tiki cocktails. I saw many friends catching up on recent adventures, new faces, and lots of happy people!!!
I spoke with all the vendors and they are all invited back to the next International Tiki Market Place. I spoke with almost all the customers and they can't wait for the next one!
A BIG MAHALO to Art and Delia Snyder, owners of Don the Beachcomber. Without their support this event would not happen! And thank you to Emerson, the GM, and ALL the staff for coming together in a very short time period to make things run so smoothly!!! Big hugs and kisses to my wife WooHooWahine for standing at the entrance all day greeting guests and taking money!!! Also thanks to Margi who helped with Karen at the entrance. (You two kept the traffic moving!!!)
Start saving your milk money, 'cause the ITMP will return very soon!!!!! With new additions to the vendor list and new musical entertainment and maybe a new venue inside the the Tiki Temple the IS Don the Beachcomber!!!
One more big WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO! to all of you!!!!

Sherriyaki and I had a great time yesterday, and we're looking forward to the next one!
Nice photos peoples! Bigbrotiki...thanks for gettin' me in a photo. I saw myself lurking in the background of one of your shots.
I'll have to take more photos, and stop having so much fun at the next ITMP.
Here's a few from yesterday...

thanks for all the pics.
I was really bummed to have missed this.
But between being really tight on funds,
and my truck getting ready to go feet up on me,
I needed to stay home and try to save up.
congrats on the success,
looked like a real fun time.
