It DID remind me of the first Tiki Oasis's . Thats what got me coming back . Special thanks to Rory and AJ for creating this again but this time better . Everyone there was a pleasure , from the attendees to the great bands , the DJ tunes always filling in the gaps and the vendors imagination keeps getting better. Especially that Nelsons Tiki Hut with the rock art and lamps . Stuff was flying off their vending tables .One of the best parts was that is was affordable in these times for not only the patrons but the vendors as well to sell their creations . Hats off to Rory for constantly thanking all who supported his vision and to Rod and Cindra for their anonymous help . They are just good people . They were the ones who organised the fashion show too. They are so generous with their support and ask for nothing in return . I had an incredible vending experience as well . Thanks to all who came by , complimented my work and bought things . Times are hard for me with my back so it felt great that people were buying some of my smaller pieces . Then Moss came by to say goodbye as he was leaving in 5 minutes to head back to Vegas . But before he left he purchased my "Howling Tiki" with the flapping tounge for his pool. But most importantly, I want to thank Tiki Kinniki for her support and encouragement to me to keep me creating . I got a lot of compliments on my paintings . Its something I just hadnt tried yet .I would work on a piece and she would critique it for me . Her vision was what it neeeded . I love it when people keep pulling me off to the side and telling me Im a lucky man . Believe me folks , I thank God every day for having her in my life . We didnt take the time to take too many pics but here is our contributions . Hes wearing my Koa wood pendant that matches the tiki Linda and Hal Mandy getting the"Ole Ripsey Hooie" from Cindy Me burnt to a crisp in the pool Finger moustache tattoos Chris and Mandy Nelsons Tiki Hut Us with Huell Howser Holden relaxing in the pool .
