ALOHA TIKI TRIBE!
Well, I'm back on da' island.
LA was lots of fun! Thanks to everyone who came down to La Luz for opening night.

Here's the 3 exotica-monsters on the wall at the show. Good news is 2 outa 3 sold.

It got so crowded that soon you could not really see the art on the walls of the gallery.

Christine and friend came up from Redondo Beach - Thanks!

Tubunga (Eric October) and Manuel dropped in.

Tubunga, Big Toe, Tki Shark, and mp!

Tom, Ken Ruzic (LLT) and u know who.
LOTS of friends came by. Wish I had more photos! - Ryan, Nick, Digger (!), Mike (Zallen) and Jeff, Phil (may soon be some cool news ona new high-tec project with my art for you folks who love your Android phones... more news later), Billy and Glen (thanks for bringing the flask!), Kevin, Teri and Scott, and Jen (you looked so extra-hot and hip I didn't know my own neice at first.. sorry!), Mark Parker (da' famous art collector) and Grace, Joe... and many many other cool tiki tribe members ... it's all a bit blurry now... but GREAT fun. Big MAHALO. Thanks for stopping in... really made my night. I'm honored to know such cool people.
...and thanks to the nice folks at La Luz de Jesus Gallery!

It was a crazy fun trip - we did lots of business with Tiki Shark Hawaii Inc, saw the cool people at Body Glove, and
the FreakyBoutiki and Hodadhank in Mission Beach! (Coolest tiki shop ever!)
Saw AVATAR in 3D at a swanky theater in 1000 Oaks that (get this) had a BAR as a concessions stand. Really!
You could take alcohol drinks into the movie! Way SWANKY! Made the 3D even better!
Had some quality time with the family. Ate at the first Bob's Big Boy (da one in Bubank)

Took my mom's car to get smog tested.
Er... that's not my mom's car, but the garage was also a hot rod and classic car shop

  • very So Cal.

So... got a few lines on next art shows in so Cal... I'll let u know as soon as I get better details!
ALOHA!
