Alohas,
A new update for the Gathering of the Tribes.
The Polynesian Dance Troupe will be from the Tekurio Nui Studio in Costa Mesa and consists of 5-15 year old kids playing the music and doing the dances! Should be real cool. They will also have a Hawaiian Shave Ice stand and all the profits will go toward their rent! So, enjoy one!!
Sven will not be there but will be there in spirit. Trust me on this one. It's top secret! You'll all be involved. Al, bring your camera please.
Parking. Your best bet would be to park on the street or next door but please don't try to pull into the lot. It'll be packed with woddies, the artists, entertainers, our's and the other tenants cars. It's a small place for those of you who have not been there. 1/4 of the lot will be roped off for the gig.
If you plan on hanging out for the long hall, bring a chair, ice chest, portable bar or what not. Hey BaxDog, bring a canopy!! You will be loved for it.
I'll post more in the next few days.
Oh ya, Holden aka Tiki Farm will have limited edition retirement items and a few new ones too. He'll be in the bar that Sven was going to be in.

Ben,
What time do the festivities begin? I have an obligation in the late afternoon and was hoping to pass by your place beforehand.

Hey Ben!
Thanks for the thread! I'm bringing down some old weird stuff... one time glazes, slight defects (dirt cheap) and other oddities plus the nex boxed Bali Hai (Mr. Mini Hai) sets with the old Bali Hai menu artwork (artwork from 50's/menu's printed in early 70's). Looking forward to seeing everyone!

I need help, I am rotating here trying to get everything done til I leave on Thursday, and though I want to, I can't spare the time it would take me to drive down to Huntington Beach to bring Bamboo Ben my promised shipment of books and videos that are supposed to make up for my absence.
Is there ANYBODY here that is going to the "Tribes", who could swing by my pad to bring it along!?

I hope Crazy Al doesn't mind me posting this, but I just heard from C.B. that C'Al will be making a 'one-on-a-kind' special cameo with with the Howlies.
