This is the 1x every year where we offer up our line of Tiki Farm VERY slight second Tiki mugs, bowls, shots & decanters for prices SO LOW – we cannot mention them here! We’ve been very busy creating so many new designs since our last sale that you’re bound to find something new at a bargain basement price! Some of the featured vendors this year are… TIKI MAKER That first piece of palm trunk was found on the side of the road, buried by dust but nevertheless taken in by the TikiMaker and transformed into his very first Tiki sculpture. Residing under the sun in Huntington Beach, the TikiMaker carves these sculptures with the simple technique of chainsaw, blowtorch, and assorted glosses to create a clean, professional look. His broad, colorful designs range from manic toothy smiles with teardrop eyes to the barbaric scowls on blazing monsters. For six years, the TikiMaker has been selling pre-made Tikis from his home and the Orange County Marketplace, while also accepting custom orders through his website SKINNY DOG DESIGN Carvings served the purpose of recording history and events of the South Pacific cultures, because there was no written language. Tikis are human forms representing ancestors or absent warriors, whose spirit will guard the wearer of the carving. Skinny Dog Design’s “Tabu Tiki” line of fine jewelry pays homage to these ancient carvings with their intricately detailed sterling silver and gold pendants, necklaces and rings, many of their designs further infused with beautiful Tahitian pearls. Visit them online at KEN RUZIC (aka Little Lost Tiki) Ken Ruzic has been painting and exhibiting since 1989. A youthful visit to DisneyWorld's Enchanted Tiki Room and 12 years working in the surf industry nurtured his love of Oceanic Myths and Art. Ken has recently exhibited at the Tiki Magazine show at the Bali Hai, the SurfBeat group exhibit,and he will have paintings in M-Modern's 5th Anniversary Tiki Show in May. Besides original paintings, Ken has also produced two Tiki Coloring books, art books and prints full of his delightful characters. Ken’s curiosity, humor and drive have helped him create hundreds of pieces that have found their way into Tiki huts around the world. Check out more of Ken’s work at WHEN: SATURDAY APRIL 19th, 9:00am – 5:00pm! WHERE: Tiki Farm, 1305 Calle Avanzado San Clemente, CA 92673 If you want to make a b-line to get to your favorite vendor first, here’s a copy of the grounds layout… This is a rain or shine event and sorry but NO EARLYBIRDS will be allowed on the vending grounds before the 9am opening to the public. IMPORTANT: THERE WILL BE NO AFTER-PARTY AT MUGOOMBA. THE CITY HAS OUR MUGOOMBA BAR AS A "NON-PUBLIC GATHERING PLACE". With so many people possibly showing up and under the city's watchful eye, it can't happen. So, why don't we start throwing around possibly heading up to the Royal Hawaiian (about a 25 minute drive up the coast from Tiki Farm) or perhaps we can all get together at Fisherman's down at the San Clemente pier? The cocktails aren't anything to shake a stick at, but it's a great location with a killer view of the California coastline. Their seafood is also top notch. IMPORTANT: There is no parking for guests both in the Tiki Farm complex and in any of the adjacent, privately owned parking complexes. All parking is ON STREET only. If you park in any of the adjacent parking lots, you may get towed. Vendors and the band do get preferred parking in the Tiki Farm compound but there are more vendors then there are available spots... first come - first parked. Many of you have also been asking about having cocktails at the event. Just drink responsibly and all should be cool. As we're not serving cocktails (originally what the city had thought), it's now not much of an issue with them. [ Edited by: makedamug 2008-05-08 17:47 ]
