Myke I will represent Munktiki with a couple of the mugs from the Tiki Art Now volume 3 show that I just hosted in Seattle. And maybe one or two Oasis mugs from past years. I will have two of the black mugs for sale under the table - you have to ask for them. No reservations no requests to hold them, no presale, just walk up and ask me for one.

H Humuhumu Member San Francisco Joined: Aug 22, 2002 Posts: 3691	H Humuhumu Posted posted on Mon, Sep 25, 2006 1:29 PM Man, what a wonderful day! The weather was perfect, and sellers & buyers alike were beaming with a very successful day. I ran the booth of Forbidden Island decor leftovers (the FI gang had a lot of guests to take care of), and by the end of the day, pretty much all that was left were a couple of fake plants and some cleats (wannabuya cleat?). Being behind the booth, I didn't get to chat with people for very long, but I got to give some smiles and waves across the parking lot to plenty of folks, which was nice. Connecting someone with something they're excited to get, at a great price, is always fun. Since I was busy working, my pictures are of the calm before the storm, when we were getting set up, and then a handful of pictures at the end of the day when it was wrapping up. You can see them all here: http://photo.humuhumu.com/v/fiparkinglot/ :down: Nacho's amazing tiki bar, which was just as cool inside as out: :down: The Forbidden Island booth: :down: Mugs for sale at Martiki's booth (run by the lovely Dr. Boo Loo): :down: Dr. Tiki Mojo's Tiki Hunters booth, his lovely wife Eva pictured: :up: Jungle Trader is on the right :down: Jungle Trader, Suzanne, Chongolio (that's a person!?), Haoleakamai, Marie & Jon-Paul: :down: A booth shared by FI waitress Melissa (who owns Alameda's Retro Diva Pinup) and Beckie (who owns Icon Vintage in Berkeley), it's been a long time since I've seen a vintage clothes booth this big, it was killing me to have to look at it from across the lot! At the end of the day, they pulled out some super-small stuff for me to try, and I got a great new dress: :down: Otto's Tiki News booth, with Tiki Art Now books, and Crazy Al: :down: Jungle Trader, Polynesiac & Chongolio man their booths: :down: A happy customer at the end of the day: the bar ran out of glasses at one point, so this fellow bought this glass from Martiki's booth to fill up at the bar: :down: I was too busy to shop, so Hanford had to do it for us... we loved this lamp at Martiki's table, so we bought it, even though we don't have a table to put it on. Presto, once the dust cleared from the inital rush, I spotted a half-pretzel rattan end table that matches my living room set! Score! Congratulations on such a massively successful event to the whole Forbidden Island gang! Critiki - Ooga-Mooga - Humu Kon Tiki [ Edited by: Humuhumu 2006-09-25 13:30 ]

C Chongolio Member The Coast of Kauai Joined: Oct 02, 2002 Posts: 2765	C Chongolio Posted posted on Tue, Sep 26, 2006 8:41 AM This was a great way to end the summer!! I am completely blown away at the turn out and success of Martiki's brainchild. I am very happy I was a part of it. Martiki, Booloo, Thayer, Tofujoe and all the FI crew really made this a special sunday for everyone who made it out to sell, buy and of course have a few drinks. Nacho and Mike are super stars for bringing the Monster Tiki over for a visit. It is always a hoot to see everyone in thier element and putting the names to the smiling faces that populate TC. Thanks to everyone who stopped by and chatted me up. Super deep thank you's to all who spent some cash and picked some of my art. I can't tell you enough times how much it keeps me inspired to keep moving forward with my creative projects. You all are the folks who keep the Tiki Art community going strong. Mahalo for all the support! Cheers, Chongolio

I was so pleased and proud to be a part of this really fantastic event. I had a blast, rescued a poor broken ceramic flamingo, was able to support other fantastic artists from Tiki Central, met new friends, and even made a little bit of money to support my Bananamamacow habit. Thank you so very, very much, Martin and everyone at Forbidden Island, for inviting us to be a part of a perfect afternoon. We'll be there next year with bells on! Suzanne

And not that we want to to go so far away, but we also feel good that our purchase is helping you get to your next destination. :)

I got slammed with work and needed the weekend to get caught up. By the looks of those pics I missed a great event and a chance to get some goodies. I hope this is an event that will come around again sooner than later. I have to get to F.I. soon....maybe on a Tiki Central Wednesday!!!!!

What an event.....if this had lasted any longer than 4 hours there could have been heads exploding and human sacrifices to the most massive Tiki outside of Easter Island, (to tell ya the truth it even gave them a run for the money!). The most fun Mrs. Mojo and I have had at almost ANY event and most certainly the most fun as vendors!! :) Not only did we meet up with friends that we only knew in the virtual world of TC but we also scored a Chongolio original, (greatest part of vending is being behind the scenes), and we stood facing the MONSTER TIKI ALL DAY LONG....what an honor!! BIG BIG THANKS TO MARTIN FOR MAKING IT ALL POSSIBLE!!! Thank you to everyone who came by our booth, said hello, picked up an item or two, Dan & Wendy, THE KING, (we meet at last!), and to everyone that didn't make it plan on it next year....it's worth the trip! :wink:
