Bill and Lennie...thank you! You are wonderful people! (Lennie are you from LA? - inside joke :) )

Thanks Dave...my goal for today was to watch old movies till my eyes hurt. :) I'm about half way there now...

Cammo, I love the start of your tiki, and sir, it is a damn good thing that we decided not to race...Buzzy showed up gunning for a new world record....he started about 11:00 or so I guess, split a 4 foot log down the middle - carved one side out with power tools - then he proceeded to carve the other side out with only chisels. After finishing both of those, he got bored and carved a pendant...Well, I'd say that about wraps it up, huh?

Wow - Wow - Wow All, That was a most spectacular Chop indeed! They just get better and better! I think we had like close to 30 artists there.

Think about this...I mean really think about this...yesterday we were made up of...wood carvers, concrete carvers, carving via cyber space, people wood burning, people drawing with pen and ink, kick ass jewelry makers, painters, people playing in clay...damn! - We had a tattoo artist show up to lay down some work on a grapefruit!

Artists with a common love of tiki just showing up just to play and enjoy each other company once a month! Everyone as welcome as anyone else ...Now, there might be something else like this going on out there somewhere, but man, I sure haven't heard about it? This is a really, really cool thing happening here...I'm really psyched to being a part of all of this...These are the good old days.

Pictures I had in no real order...
