Hey Centralites,

We're mailing out invites early next week. Everybody that email'd is receiving an invite ("your name plus guest"). If you've got more than 1 guest coming, it's been noted. Shag/Trader Vic's/Tiki Farm paraphernalia for your gift bags, Chiki's fire breathing volcano, Marcus's Easter Island w/7.5' tall Moais, Gilligan's Island compound/lounge area, a Tiki maze entry and a 12' Trader Vic's tiki bar compliments of Bamboo Ben, 250' (not 500' as I had hoped - too much to rent that much) of tiki string lights, 3 bands, about 10-15 tiki poles, cool lighting, etc..!!! No neck badges though - elegant fluorescent wrist bands will be the badges of honor! No maps will be sent - the invites will have all of the address info; please go to mapquest.com if you need to get directions.

Upon entering the event, either the gallery showing or the party, you'll check-in and receive your complimentary cool, swanky stuff!

The party will be at the following address:

1034 Calle Negocio, Suite E in San Clemente, CA 92673.

We've got a vacant 1500 sq. ft. office area for the gallery and a 3000 sq. ft. vacant warehouse for the party!! We've mixed about 100 tunes that range from Exotica to Rockabilly and Surf for playing in between the bands.

The bands:
King Kukulele & the Friki Tikis opening
The Mag-Neatos (aka the Hot Rod Trio to follow)
The Eliminators to finish

The party shuts down at 1am due to landlord restrictions... enough time to party down tiki-style big time! We've already schmoozed the local fire/police to ensure that this thing doesn't get shut down (San Clemente's a pretty sleepy town).

Be safe and take a cab or have a designated driver! We're estimating over 300 attendees so please lend a hand whenever possible if you can throughout the night as this is big and we're small (tiki farm: 4 employees).

Best & mucho mahalos & see you all soon!
Holden
