Fun day at the Tiki Fest. It was good to see Danny again and meet Bosko for the first time. I picked up a couple of really cool carvings from Bosko. Just a matter of time before I get myself one of his big ones.
Danny has some of the best quality tiki mugs out there. Real art, not just a mug. The shrunken head mug is amazing! Thanks for hooking me up with the super cool shrunken head pendant, it's hanging from my guitar amp in place of the ITD pendant that was there before. My amp fell over recently and crushed the ITD. Let's hope the shrunken head fares a little better. Thanks again, Danny.

Some other cool booths- Al's retrospective was pretty rad, being able to see a bunch of his supe intricate work displayed together. Tiki Tony had some really good stuff too. His carved necklaces have always been my favorite.

Also, my buddy, James, had his restaurant, Nalu's, catering the event. If you tasted it, you know how good the food is. If you're ever in the Irvine area, check out Nalu's for the best Hawaiian plate lunch on the mainland. The place smokes L&L, that is no lie.

Of course as in every Long Beach Tiki Fest, there were some real bizarre booths too. I'm not sure what the 'church' of Scientology has to do with tiki....
