Here is the latest. Then we'll head to Swanberg's at 2316 J st. for a ''browse'' and tiki drink. Then we'll head to Chinese rest. on Howe for bite to eat and Tiki drink(s) if we have time we will go to Kingstiedye's tiki haven before Chinese Rest., if not enough time before reservation, we will go afterwards......

moondog, alohacurrent may have a point...maybe baby steps is the way to start this. I don't want to sound like a whiner, but from Thanksgiving through December is very tight time-wise. A local get together would be a great way for everyone to meet and plan a larger activity which should possibly include some discussion for a Sacramento event in 2007. I am definitely up for an outside event as well. I would have loved to make it down to the Minnie's event, but conflicting scheduling left me wishing. Forbidden Island is a great place and via Minnie's is even better. Don't count me out on this one! Thanks for your efforts, I know I for one appreciate them!

just to repeat, sorry for jumping in a little late in the game here. we would be happy to host anyone if you find yourselves in the ripon area on this excursion. we would also like to meet up if the group decides on going to one main place in particular. we cant exactly afford the transportation though, but thanks for looking into it. looking forward to hopefully meeting up. |

I think probably trying to get people to pony 90.00 each so close to Christmas is just a bad idea...Cleen, if we had you putting this together, it would have been much smoother....I think we'll do a visit to Bo's. A stop in at Swanberg's and then lunch at the chinese restaurant on Howe Ave. I think maybe I was trying to kill to many damm birds with one stone...I still can't wait to hit Forbidden Island and the dark marq bar is off the hook!!!! |

hey moondog. We'll get there man-I know you got the FI jones going on just like I want to check out Minnie's. I like the designated driver idea, but the limo may be more than people want to spend right now going into the holidays. I'm stoked Loren at Swanberg's and Bo are willing to open up there businesses to us, make drinks etc like an aloha xmas party. Should be a good time and give us a good opportunity to plan the next bigger and badder road trip. If anyone wants to join us December 10 please do. I got the first round at Eastern Empire :wink: |

At last a list with tiki collectors nearby. Bummer that Dan and I are working on that day. I'm on call all night as well. We have known Bo for 15 years back when we would go to his Burger City to show a vintage automobile. How did you all here about this, I only saw your messages. Wendy |

Newbie here, but glad to see a Sac faction. I am in Sun City Lincoln Hills, just been here about 1 1/2 years, so still getting to know my way around, but a native Californian so it isn't hard. Excuse my naivete, but are you Tiki bar hopping? |

Guys, if you want to see the FIRST TIKI MUSEUM take kingstiedye up on this offer! I've been there! I've also been to Mugoomba, (Holden's bar at Tiki Farm), and believe it or not he's actually got TIKI FARM BEAT! There is the WALL 'O MUNKTIKI, or the TIKI TONY COLLECTION or the only GECKO collection to rival my own! Mrs.Mojo and I would both like to attend either way -meeting at stops in SacTown or Forbidden Island....we're in the middle of both and it's all good! :) Should you want a vendor to supply Tiki Holiday shopping we, (TIKI HUNTER) just received a large shippment from Hawaii from GECKO and SacTown would have first crack at the goodies! :D Let us know! |

This just gets better and better and we feel so left out. I hope Bo will do this again. It's true that Kingstiedye's collection is awe inspiring. We visited but I have to say it would take days to fully see every item. If you a are a Kings fan then you may never want to leave that collection rivals his tiki collection. His place would be a great stop. Meanwhile one day we hope to meet up with all the Sacto. County tiki collectors, Wendy and Dan ps thanks for the information on how this started |

I wish I could have made it but I had ''my honey do'' list...which didnt include cutting all our phone wires, but I still managed to cut them anyway...I found out at dinner 1st Anniversary is not wood, paper or glass....but 80gb Ipod....after I cut phone wires I think Beth wanted Ipod back.....just call me Mr. Fixit....see some of you on the 10th. |

Cool, I wasn't quite sure if the 10th was still a GO or this get together was instead of! 8) TIKI HUNTER will still try to make the 10th then also....if you have a place for us to vend moondog we have stuff to sell! We're thinking of a TIKI BLOW OUT EVENT to unload our CARVED WOOD TIKI's before the New Year! :o If it sounds like there would be interest I'll make it happen! |

Mucho Mahalo to Wendy and Dan, Yesterday added unexpected fun to my trip home for the holiday. I had no idea about Dan's Jungleroom which was freakin amazing, I need a good year to absorb it all and I loved the rest of your home including: the lamps, velvet paintings and color by number pantings which all did me in. Thank you for your warm hospitality including the snacks and making my mom and I feel welcome. Here are my goods from the sale that Dan was practically giving away. I had to show them off. |

Hi Tigerlilly, I like your photo, I grew up with that same dining set in grey, brings back good memories. Thanks again for stopping by, we enjoyed the party so very much. Poor Moondog, my dad did the same thing. While he was repairing the wires someone kept trying to call him and he would get shocked. We finally figured out that if we took the phone off the hook it wouldn't happen. I hope yours are fixed, Wendy |

I think that table and chairs was in many a kitchen...my parents had the yellow set. I bought a gray reproduction at Sears several years ago....it makes me think of good times when I was a kid....like getting in trouble for laughing at my sister and spewing milk from my nose. Those bowls look great Tigerlily....really complements the yellow. |

What the heck happened? I was on Tiki Central until around 11:00 a.m. on Friday and it was so quiet I figured everyone was busy with the holidays and such! I log on this morning and a local event came and went without so much as a whisper. All I can say is "miss a day, miss alot". Looks like those who made it had a good time. I wasn't able to find a darn tiki item at all this weekend, even braved the rain Sunday to go tiki hunting. Psycho Tiki D (I know I am but where was I)? |

I just caught this thread, sitting here with my coffee this morning.. I haven't checked out the posts in a while.... Sacramento Tiki Group? Count us in! After all, Sacramento is also home to Martiniland... World headquarters of Pariarts.com! Actually we don't get out that much, what with working as hard as we can towards early retirement... but we have been known to throw a mean tropical cocktail party. And my tropical lava rock pond with waterfalls in the back is still in progress. I'm hoping to have it done for this summer, (yeah yeah, I say that every year!). Maybe I can host a lava rock carving contest and we can all finish it up in one day! We've been promising ourselves to throw a big, proper Luau when we finally get it finished. This month we're a little crazy with Christmas orders. But for future events, we'd love to join you all and possibly host some part of it. We live on the edge of Carmichael out here - near Madison and 80 in a 60's Streng. The tiki sign workshop is right here at our house. Well, I'll keep watching these threads to see what develops! Mahalo! [ Edited by: pariartspaul 2006-11-27 09:59 ] |

Wow cool signs Paul. How do I score one of those? Mahalo Wendy and Dan for hosting the get together and the tour of your incredible collection. It was a pleasure meeting you. Hopefully see you guys in a few days. Moondog, think you could stop by and help me set up my stereo system... NOT! ALOHA |

Is it too early to take a roll call for next Sundays' event at Bo's and onward? I will be there with two other people, my buddy (from Reno) and my designated driver (my wife Ami). My buddy has never been to Bo's, so I would like for him to have a look around. I have been, but if Bo is selling some of his vintage items, I would like a chance to purchase some of them, however, if the number exceeds what Bo requested, I can sit out and wait until another time so others have the chance to look around. moondog, is this still a go for next Sunday to meet at Bo's at 1:00? See all ya all, Psycho Tiki D (I know I am but what are you)? |

Dr.TikiMojo and Mrs.Mojo are all in! Would like to see Bo's collection. Did anyone ever decide if there was a place and a desire for us to bring things for sale? At the very least we're doing a TIKI CLEARANCE SALE to make way for new items next year. 10" inchers to 5' footers! I could just chuck those guys in the back of the truck and sell them that way? Let me know before Sunday please. |

Dr TikiMojo...just an FYI. If you got TIKI stuff you are selling or trying to get rid of, Bo is into trading if you have some cool stuff. Tiki, Cartoony-Devil, HotRod, WWII Bombs...he likes that whole era. |

...just talked to Bo...and we are good to go.....Dr Tiki Mojo you can bring your tikis and set them up outside of Bo's entrance while we are there. Dont forget to bring cash if you are shopping at Bo's. Swanberg's takes credit cards. It should be a great tiki day in the valley....I posted updated info at the beginning of this thread...less than a week! |

Weather permitting I'll plan on bringing the pick up truck and a lot of Carved Tikis. We're cutting prices down on these to clear our stock so it's a great chance to get yourself a carved Tiki in many sizes, desk top to yard size! :D We probably won't bring much else this time around....unless requested. We are able to take CREDIT AND DEBIT CARDS for those short on cash! |

Mostly we're going out to Sacramento to have fun and hang with the SacTown Ohana! :D |

Bump! :tiki: Hope everything is still a go with the rain and all? As I said, we're still going to drive up there although without the Tikis now and if it's a down pour I doubt we'll take anything out of the car. :( :drink: would be good! :D |
