Magnolia Blvd., Burbank 91505 Tel.: 818.845.1155 Bar hosted by the Tonga Hut! http://www.tongahut.com Witco exhibit! Tiki Modern Tour posters and postcards! Lotsa cool books, new Tiki shirts and mugs, and other swell swag! I will have to go on location to shoot a TV movie again the end of October and won't be back in town until mid-December, so this is likely the last chance for a personal dedication by yours truly for the rest of the year.

By hand-cutting and pasting my old invite and Naomi's classic postcard together....you can still see the imperfect scissor cuts on the edge of her bubble cockpit :) . Scanned it and slapped on here. Now you're making me think twice about having tossed my handywork into the wastepaper basket after I was done. :D (The poster that will be for sale will be the Euro Tour poster.)

Sven and the lovely Naomi proprietor of the 8 Ball. Mr Hoptiki thinks they have some really great books at the 8 Ball. That's me, Mrs Hoptiki. Sven brought some of his Witco pieces. Really neat stuff! The Martini Kings played some cool tiki music. Love those Vibes! We had the great pleasure of meeting the infamous/notorious GROG. Hey Grog! Sorry we couldn’t name other TC’ers in the photos. Hope that changes soon. Sven signed our book and we had a nice chat . Thanks Sven, it’s a terrific book. That’s us, Mr & Mrs Hoptiki with TIKI MODERN author Sven Kirsten. Best, Mr & Mrs Hoptiki

Glad I went! Trader Tom, Ilene, dibroc & Paula and myself dined out at Damon's afterwards. It was great to also see Grog, Boris & a few others at Damon's as well. Thanks Sven, Tonga Hut & the lovely miss Suzy for coming out to Burbank! We had a Great time :wink: Oh The Martini Kings too! Great sounds! [ Edited by: Hiphipahula 2007-10-15 00:37 ]

Thanks to the Martini Kings, who filled the store with their soothing swinging sounds with just a stand up bass and vibes, and the Tonga Hut, who filled our minds with Mai Tai goodness! And most of all thanks to the woman in my life, Naomi, for being such a gracious hostess. There is little to ad in terms of pictures, perhaps this: Martini King Tony bringing in some gear, flanked by Witco's female and male dancers ...and I think the real star of the show deserves his own glamor shot, I think it looks better without me:
