At my place, Saturday June 21st, Gecko will be offering his thoughts on carving with Poly Pop in the afternoon followed by a cocktails and a bar-B-que. I'm thinking 3:00 to 6:00 for the carving. 6:00 till dawn for the bar-B-que. I'm easy to find.
Drive to Oceanside on the 5.
Turn East on mission.
Turn right on Mesa.
I live on the left hand side Can't miss it.

I sure wish me and mine could go, but we've got plans. For those that have not been to the Lagoon Room, GO! You're in for a treat. Very cool of Mike (Gecko) to offer some insight into carving. He'll be a tiki carving legend like Leroy in his time, and you can say "I knew him when...".
Have Fun.

The Monkeyman family will be there.
Let us know if we can help with anything.
Gecko, Is Poly bringing some tools with him or should I bring over some chisels? I would like to bring over the mini tiki's that I have been working on to show you. I am starting on the 6th one tonight.

Thank you Al and Shelley for hosting this one of a kind event. The BBQ was delicious and the bonfire & slide show was memorable. What a surreal experience it was to experience the simultaneous carving stylings of Gecko and Chiki Tiki Diablo.
Enjoy the pics!
