Aloha [MrFab], Yes, the news is very sad. I’m not sure I’m the best to answer, there are many more who knew him much more than I. I only met him a few times, but, each time he was very friendly and a wonderful meeting. The shipwrecked event was run by Tiki Diablo. He recently passed away. He was an amazing artist, and a really great guy. I’m not sure that anyone wants to try to carry that event onward. I think it would be difficult subject for his wife. There are also rumors that the warehouse will be closing in a few years. If there were to be any similar event, I think it would have to be approached with care and sensitivity, honoring its origins and originator, and addressing its future. There are several different places where there are written tributes to him. I encourage you to check them out. |
