Witco hits the Tonga!

The Witco story at the Tonga Hut, the short long of it all....

 In a conversation with Sven Kirsten and Tonga Hut owner Jeremy at the Sound of Tiki Cd listening and signing event it was mentioned that a art piece was needed to replace a Tapa print on the large back wall over the back booth. "Maybe a framed Witco?"   Jeremy has long been a fan and collector of mid-century art and design. Sven replied that he has a Witco outrigger piece that would be perfect for the spot. 
 As a week or two passed the Tonga Hut starts planning our debut Room Crawl at Tiki Caliente II 2010 Co hosting with Queen Kamehameha-Amy. The party went off without a hitch, it was a smash hit! 
 One week later a very special gift arrives at the Tonga Hut, It's the Witco Outrigger! Jeremy text messages Hiphipahula Kelly and says, "the TH has a witco!" it's cool! I want more!" Kelly replies, " uh huh, that's how it all starts..."    
 The Tonga Hut humbly thanks Ray and Amy Boylan for their friendship and generosity. Thank You also to Sven Kirsten for making the Outrigger from his collection available to Ray and Amy for the Tonga Hut.

            Auf uns! The Tonga Hut
