I know it's not likely, but I am looking for 3 tickets to the Clipper. Please feel free to e-mail me at mgangi3878@yahoo.com if for some reason you cannot go to the event. Thanks guys and gals! If not I'll definitely be getting an all-access pass to enjoy the shenanigans!

The Ding Dong Devils have got two more stops before we roll into Ft. Lauderdale, but we're already excited as all get out about hanging out and playing at the Yankee Clipper and the Mai Kai for Hukilau 2013!! We're also looking forward to soaking up all the other action such as Ixtahule, the Intoxicators, the Hula Girls, Jeff "Beachbum" Berry, "Bunny Yeager - the Mai Kai Girls," Marina the Mermaid, the Artists Reception, etc., etc., etc. Yahoo!!

The Hukilau is proud to present the official pendant for 2013 ...
Another Barney West interpretation of a Tiki found in the gardens at The Mai-Kai. Chris Chapman of Tiki65 is responsible for this creation. Amazing job! Limited edition of 150.
Also recently announced:
A sneak peek of The Hukilau glassware for 2013: A toast to Marina the Fire Eating Mermaid. Designs by Mookie Sato. Produced by South Pacific Promotions.
And to pay tribute to Trader Vic's, The Hukilau presents this iconic coconut mug for 2013. Limited to 150.
Merchandise will be available for pre-sale to ticket holders only beginning next week.

And don't forget the official event mug by Tiki Diablo, aka Danny Gallardo. He just shared this photo of the final sculpt ...
Danny says he's thinking of doing two colors with a never-before-done feature added. Stay tuned!

Everything. Looks. AWESOOOOOOOME! Really, to all the artists involved, you've all outdone yourselves this year. These are some fantastic designs, but extremely talented artists.
