And here comes Suzy-come-lately with her two cents. . .

Heh, better late than never I guess! :wink:

Finally got around to uploading these photos today.

Let me first say a big MAHALO to everyone at Tiki Magazine for putting on a fantastic event! :drink: :drink: :drink:

The location, the art, the music, the dancers, the drinks, the people . . . the spirit of aloha was truly alive, and it was a magical evening!

I thought I'd taken more pictures, but honestly I got so wrapped up talking to all the friendly and talented Ohana and ogling all the astounding art, I just plumb forgot!

A special thanks to GROG for being my carpool buddy, Doug Horne for letting us shack up with him in his swanky suite, John and Paula for letting us join their super fun dinner group. . .mmm. . .chicken of the gods. . . BigTikiDude for leading our crew to a great hangover breakfast joint, and Nic and Eileen for fining room for me in the show.

Oh yeah! . . . HUGE thanks to Kent, Barbara and John for buying my painting in a record breaking 45 minutes! Woo Hoo!!!!!

Here are the few pics I managed to snap:

Here's an 'in progress' pic of the piece I had in the show.
In all the crazy rush to finish the painting and get down to San Diego, I realize now this is the only record I have of the piece! Doh!
Very professional Suzy . . . at least I know it has a good home now. Maybe they will let me visit sometime. :)

Super Atomic A-Frame!

Those Smokin' Menehune!

Menehune Madness!

A luminous gem of a painting by Tiki Shark.

The Sabu and The Squid

Me with Mr. Bali Hai (and some weirdo in the background. . . I swear, every time you try to take a nice picture. . .) :wink:

The Bali Hai Greeter Tiki. This guy was tucked away behind the front door and I didn't notice him until we were leaving.
I thought it was funny because it looked like he had peed into the half full Corona bottle at his feet.
I guess that was Midnight, 3 Mai Tai's kinda funny. . .

Hey. . .That reminds me, did anyone see that guy walking out of the Bali Hai with his pants around his ankles???!!!! Well, I guess it was just me and Little Lost Tiki. . .
Kenny RAWKS! Peroxide power!

A beatiful view of the Shelter Island harbor

So pretty.

Made a stop at Trader Morts on our way out of town

WHAT A GREAT WEEKEND!

I REALLY REALLY REALLY HOPE THEY WILL MAKE IT AN ANNUAL EVENT!
