Goes without saying, bro.

But if you want, THANKS for the BLACK STRAP RUM! It's smooth and tasty. The pseudo Mai Tai at Roy's tops theirs with the stuff, and it sort of drips down into everything else. Yum.

Hi. My name is Kate, and I'm a shopaholic.

Matt won the contest to see which vendor could get the most money out of me at the event.

Tony was a very close second. Plus I got the Doug Horne print I was hoping to pick up.

Got some Danny and some Bosko. (Anyone know the edition size on the Moai Bowl?)

Various mugs and pendants. It was great seeing Gecko. It's been years!

And a few of my favorite things. Not to be a total mug whore, but I just want to shout from the rooftops and proclaim my love for my Oki Doki mugs. (You just want to pinch his little cheeks.) Plus, I've overcome my fear of my Man Of War mug because it's just so cool. Of course, my most special score was my autographed picture of my best friend Buzzy.

ok, so i'm pissed! i got a tiki from buzzy and it didn't come with an autographed photo! i guess they were sold out long before sunday afternoon. kate, on bosko's website he says he'll make the moai bowls for as long as the mold holds up, but not more than 100. i dig that bowl! i love your tiki tony sign. wonderful graphics and colors.

I'll trade you a Dan Burke for a Buzzy pinup! It scares my stepchild! I told her it was the "Boogie" man!

I got Derek Yaniger to autograph my art. WoooHoooo! :wink:

[ Edited by: bigtikidude 2007-08-21 20:55 ]

I walked away with an orange Oasis VII mug, a couple of programs, some good times, and that is it.

Because we live in San Diego and weren't staying at the hotel, we went to Oasis when the main festivities started. I was a bit bummed that the vendor booths closed up before then, since I really wanted to buy stuff. But then, where would everybody sit? :) I suppose I could have come on Sunday, but I presumed that all of the good stuff was probably gone by then.

Is free Tiki stuff called "Shag Swag"?

I got to try bigtikidude's new drink twice. I believe it was the Bear Claw? Liked it better the first night. Stop messing with it guys. It was fabulous.

Oh yes, and then I went off and shopped more.

C

I got four Thor prints!

Came to this event pretty cash poor this year so I was happy to get out with those. Next year I hope to be able to shop more :)

Kate,
Yes it was the "Bear Claw" Grrrrrrr indeeeed.
I will give you the sweeter version of the recipe if you want that one.
but all of the guys that tried it liked the less sweet version on Sat. night.
thanks to Paul (Pi Phi Ro), and Ran(Kick the Reverb) for helping me with that.

Well, that just goes to show you that boys are silly. And yes please, I'd like the sweeter version. Thank you.

WooHooWahine and I got some cool swag!
The very coolest mosaic from Velvet Glass!!!




Derek's "Tiki Oasis 7", Derek's "APE the Band", Doug Horne's "Unquiet Village"

All the Mugs and Mosaic

(I didn't stay at the hotel, so couldn't shop Saturday :( and didn't make it back Sunday....OK enough bitchin' already!!!)

I got the orange Oasis tiki mug which is great as I didn't have anything in orange and I like diversity in the colors of my mugs. I got freebie Oasis paper goodies that I will frame, along with some snaphots from my cheapy disposable camera. I got great enjoyment from the Jeff & Sven symposiums, and I got to meet a lot of wonderful TCers. :)

Brian still has a bottle of that in my liquor cabinet. I owe him a BBQ tri-tip dinner for all the cool shit he does, so we'll have some Mai Tais with it then!

There were plenty of great vendors and free entertainment on Sunday including an open auction for lots of goodies including newborn tikis fresh from the Village. Bosko's free mid-century San Diego presentation was not to be missed... sooo relaxed it was like having a slideshow with your best friends! Don't stay away next year.

OK on to the stuff...

I picked up the new Marini Kings DVD/CD combo (exccccccellent soundrack to Camp Burlesque)... a live Blue Hawaiians disc and sticker... 2 brightly colored pendants and a dimmer switch cover from Al (the crazy one)... an Al (the same one) approved Bali repro from Smokin' Tikis... a post-apocalyptic tiki pendant from Shelly... a Mucumbo mug from Danny & Steph... a Maori mug from Truus, Mason & Bosko... A Bigmouth DVD from Bongofury... an event tee from Falling Cocos... as well as spending as much quality time as possible with the far-flung arists and authors who keep Freaky Boutiki fortified with tiki goodness.

BTW, I lost in a bidding war over a sublime fresh Bobu mask to some bearded visigoth dangling monkeylike from a ledge high above me. I spat and shook my fist but to no avail. He had the higher ground. To him I say now, "Beware!, you sir have not seen the last of... HodadHank: Auction Fistshaker." (Dun Dun DUUUUUUUUUN!)

Had a blast at Oasis...met some great people...dranks lots...bought too much. I also made a stop by Ken Ruzic's studio and then Tiki Farm on the way to San Diego. Picked up a Full Size Easter Island chiminea and Mr. Rapa Nui mini grill from Tiki Farm and on the way home from Oasis made a stop at Hi-Time and bought way too much rum . Can't wait 'til next year!

:drink: :drink: :drink:

Here are some pics of most of my Oasis purchases...

Cool stuff, Tikitastic! I didn't realize you picked up so many mugs. Good thing you made a pit stop at Hi Time Wine, for the big par-tay this weekend. Whew, just when I thought my liver was all rested up, we've got Chum playing at Smoke Tiki this Friday, Jason Portman's party and your party this Saturday with The Lava Rats and Meshugga Beach Party, and Chum playing Forbidden Island this Sunday!!! I'd better crawl into my hyperbaric sleep chamber now and stay in there until Friday afternoon.

Anyways, I went to Tiki Oasis, and all I got was a little head.

Geez Mai Tai!!! That head looks real!!!

I almost forgot this really cool nightlight/lamp I picked up from Tiki Ray!
I put a red bulb in it and it looks awesome at night! (I think I'll get another from him at the Tiki Magazine Party in November.)

I'm goin' after NEXT YEAR'S trophy though....they'd better have one! :D

I wonder if anybody got Drunk, or sick at Tiki Oasis?

You can make book on the first couple, though I doubt you'll see anyone posting on that last one here...

Related, though totally different: I wonder if we have any confirmed Tiki Oasis conceptions???

Anyone???

Previous years OK too???

Does Pink Eye count? Coco Loco came down with that. She most likely caught it from Little Lost Tiki. Oh, and her back went out, so she had to pass on the go go dancing class, and most of the go go dance parties as well. In fact, she packed it in early Friday night.

P

that's a very pretty picture.

Dan was in heaven and can hardly wait until next year. This is his biggest Tiki Haul ever. Thank you Otto for making it all possible. Some items came from antique stores along the way but almost all of it came from Tiki Oasis. Wendy

H

hell, thats almost a housefull of stuff there on that table!! I hope you've got room for it all!!

by the way can anyone explain to me why there is a "best room" trophy at Oasis - aren't all the rooms in a hotel... or does it mean "best party room"?
