Kirby, Polly and Tyler always host a great evening at the Rumpus Room, and last Wednesday was no exception (Thanks to the Fleming family and a special nod to Kelly 'Hiphipahula' for the drinks :)) Besides the usual cast of characters firmly entrenched at the Rumpus Room every Wednesday evening, I was stoked that Kingstiedye himself made the pilgrimage south because I brought a surprise especially for him.

Knowing that Kingstiedye is in-process of creating and decorating his home tiki "Pupule Hut", I thought it would be a kick to present a gift to him - a custom TikiG painting that somehow captures the spirit of Kingtiedye's love and passion for modern tiki-mugs.

Over the course of three evenings I painted "Kane's Magical Garden." This Hawaiian scene features Kane (left) during a moment of tiki-mug creation. On the right there are six of some of Kingstiedye's favorite modern tiki-mugs "rising" up out of the ground...Tiki Tony's Pupu, Crazy Al's Tiki King, Bosko's Cook Island Fisherman's God, Munktiki's Frankenskull, Tiki Diablo's Tambu and Gecko's Augie Colon. Also depicted is a sandy beach with ocean waves, active volcano in background, lush plants and mountains - all painted in various shades of blue, purple, green and Earth-tone.

So I presented Kingstiedye with my painting. I'm proud to say he loves it!

Thanks to Melekilikimaka for the next photo...a rare :wink: pic of the Filipino/Hawaiian contingent at Kirby's Rumpus Room.

That's all the pics I can share this time...the rest came up blurry!!

Take Care all and I'll see everyone again soon. Aloha! G
