Mahalo for the turnout and kind words folks.

It was great seeing the artists mingling with the locals. So many new people were turned onto the genre by this exhibition and getting to hobnob with some of the artists themselves just sealed the deal. I believe you all made some lifelong tiki converts! In fact yesterday as we were wrapping up the sold pieces for their new owners more tiki neophites visited the gallery and purchased Kinny Ruzic's wonderful Monkeyman framed "The Magical Fish", a Paipo resin inlay Niku, a Bowana Uber Ku and an underwater photo of a honu by Rodney Adcox!

Special Mahalos to ETR, Tiki Magazine, Guava Beach, Jamroc101, Mr Tiki's Mai Tai Lounge, Hassan, Kinny, The Ruiners, and of course my own team of angels Charlie, Toni and Pinky. You guys are the shiznibbity biznit.

To all the artists who participated in this our very first show at Freaky Boutiki Gallery, Welcome home.

We have so many ideas for future shows I don't know where to start, but promise to keep everyone posted.

I tried to take as many pictures as I could in between playing host and perfecting my impression of the increadable melting man! Jeez was it hot or what? I was hoping for a nice sea breeze but the wind pooped out on us. I guess we can just tell everyone what a hot show it was and leave it at that.

Please post your pics everybody. (Yes OMAR I have your camera!)
