We're not sure which day to go either - Saturdays are always better, in case you need a day of recovery, but "Pop-Culture Sunday" sounds like a lot more fun.
Does anyone know the schedule for the events? I can't find much info on the website. I've sent them an email but don't hold much hope of getting a response back in time.
Did anyone go to previous events? Is it by the water? Is the water reasonably clean, or scary bad? (I haven't been in the ocean since I moved back from Hawaii, and I'm thinking of breaking that tradition.)
Thanks!

For the Tiki crowd, I would say Sunday is the day. The event is right on the sand and I haven't seen any three eyed fish there. The music is also best on Sunday .

Mean Gene I don't know if you are going to read this BUT ( and thats a big but) I will be bringing the Friki Tikis to Tiki Beach and we will be playing our set especially designed for our 10 year olds in the crowd (before bedtime, at 6PM). It sounds like it is going to be an amazing day. The Menehunes will be there, Tiki Diablo will be there and who knows how many other friends and family will show up....its going to be great.

Be sure to go to this event tomorrow. It was great today, and will be even better on Sunday. If you're debating...just go.

harbor water is always durtier due to poor water circulation. It's fine to go swimming, but just don't gulp the water...or eat the white croaker.
Huntington beach (down the coast) Cabrillo Beach (in Pedro, - the ocean side, not the harbor side) torrance beach, redondo, etc. are all cleaner. But yeah...no 3 eyed fish.

Thanks for the water advice, everyone - I got so spoiled by the ocean in Hawaii that I just haven't been able to bring myself to go into the LA water. It's just so.... grey. And occasionally foamy. Blarg.
We'll be there tomorrow - say hi if you see us! I'll be the one in dreadlocks waffling near the waterline.

I'll be there tomorrow hanging out in the Von Franco booth. I'll be the guy in the hawaiian shirt........
Actually I'll have a few of the numbered Bahooka Prints left over from the show and I'll have about a dozen of the new "Cannibal" T-Shirts from Von Franco.
See ya there

Well, we made it to the Festival for only about 15 minutes (UGH!). Drove up from San Diego w/my 2yrold little girl & she ended up getting really sick so we had to leave. My hubbie (Mean Gene) is still there vending at our FALLING COCOS booth. If any tc'ers go, swing by & say hi. Also check out the new serigraph (edition of 85) he's been working on all week for the festival titled "Tiki Lagoon" designed by artist Eric Gordon. Its on our webite as well if you want to check it out: http://www.fallingcocos.com (He's offering a SHOW SPECIAL & will frame the serigraph for free w/ a cool bamboo frame.) Sorry to miss the festivities today.....sounds like fun! There are alot of great tiki goodies to pick up & coconutkiss....I LOVE those little t's!! Miss Taylor must have one!
Aloha....Lisa

What a great time at Tiki Fest today. The tiki ohana circle only grows larger. What a beautiful day seeing all my friends and family.
We played a great set that ended at about 1:00. Crazy Al jumped (I mean jumped!) onstage and helped ignite the crowd.
Met many new people and connected with old friends. Life is good. (a ole pilikia!)

Rocknrollgirl and I strolled in lazily around 2:00, and had a great time. We were only able to hang out a couple hours, though and missed the Smokin' Menehunes and the King play which was a big bummber, because that's always entertaining. Still tryin' to get over this damn flu bug thats been lingering. My energy level is ZERO!!!! Did stay long enough to meet thechiktiki. Danny, bro...your mugs are bitchin'. Ten times better in person. I can't wait for mine to come in. And that Macumba really blew me away. The glaze you chose is perfect. The Orange special edition one was pretty swell also. Too bad I spent most of my wad over at Crazy Al's booth. He has a certain manipulative way to get me to keep buying things. STOP IT, AL! Also had the pleasure of meeting Mean Gean. Man, you had some great prints that Rocknroll girl was really diggin'. I'll definitely be in contact with you soon. For everyone else we missed....we'll catch you at the next one.
