That is Michael Uhlencott by Eric and Chris Reccardi next to him. Chris is also a musician and currently working on a new album with Elliot Easton and the Tiki Gods.

O.K., here we go. I got some pics off before the doors opened, but I did not document ALL and everybody's, it was little time. First the exterior:

Tiki Tony hypnotized by the search light!

This photo best encapsulates the look I was going for:

Mod sculpture, Jazz, and some cool Witco-esque Bosko art

Here's a "group shot":

L to R: Michael Uhlencott, Miles Thompson, Cass, Crazy Al (on black velvet!), and El Gato Gomez below

Lake Surfer's Tangaroa Twins

Eric October (Aloha Jhoe's design on the left)

Doug Horne's Mod Cat

"Polynesiac" Jim De Pompei's lamp idols

Moritz R.'s (next Tiki Mag and BOT cover artist!) red and green wahines

COOL sculpture (L - R):
Kirby, Eric October, Danny Gallardo, and my fave Kirby, the shrunken head bird

Shag's the Idolator

Then...THE MASTER:

Oceanic Arts' Leroy Schmaltz came thru with three marvelous pieces!

Here is another: Two of Tikidom's ancestral artists right next to each other:

Leroy by being THE last original active carver , and Keigs by being William Westenhaver's direct heir!

The best thing was that Leroy actually made it out there, here he is on the right in the red shirt:

More later. Modernism Weekend is still on!
