Just wanted to post this before too much time goes by...

THANKS ERNIE FOR ORGANIZING THIS EVENT!

Thanks also to the artists and DJ Lee. Can't forget to say Thanks to Jeremy and the staff of Tonga Hut as well.

How does one choose what to buy at these shows? I saw so many objet d'art that were beautiful, well executed and RARE that I can't help but wonder what all these treasures will be considered in the future, you know, genius pop artifacts or simple folk art? I know - BOTH - and these will be systematically collected by many. Hipsters of the future digging today's artists..hipsters not even born yet!

It's frustrating when you get paid twice a month and the art show falls between paychecks on an "off" week - you know what I mean?

At least I bought a cool swag lamp from Eric, bought more than a few cocktails from the Tonga Hut bar and my friends bought items to take home as well. We must support the tiki community as best we can when we can. Aloha!
