Those TWB Fish Float necklaces were so popular at Tiki Oasis this weekend, I will be tying up another batch of them for the FI Parking Lot Sale. I am hoping to add red ones to the regular line up of light blue, dark blue, green, clear and pink. Mark your calendars. Start your Christmas shopping early this year! Aloha! |

Myke, those necklaces are really and truly a hit. I love mine! I'm planning on coming back home to the Bay Area for the sale - The Diva Pinup will be there with her usual fare of fabulous tropical hair accessories to adorn every wahine within 200 miles of Forbidden Island.... so come and see me! I'll need some California hugs after being in the Lone Star state for a whole month. Also, I have some new items I will be debuting there! Can't wait to see all of you again! Suzanne |

Aloha! TofuJoe and I are going to have a get-together on Saturday, in case anyone would like to make a TC weekend out of it. Lund Manor is about 2 miles from F.I., so we're (reasonably) centrally located. It's gonna be fun! |

For any of you who cannot make the Parking Lot sale, and who might be interested in owning your own TWB Fishnet Float pendant necklace or Christmas ornaments, I will be tying up a bunch more soon. There will be a new posting here on Tiki Central on how to place an order. I should have all colors available. Thanks so much for your interest!! Aloha, |

If there's anyone on TC who would like to volunteer a little bit- we could use some regulars to (wo)man the FI table, selling bowling shirts, T-shirts, and the new green mug. Send me a PM if you interested- a great way to enjoy the day and earn a free drink or two! martin |

*midnite 6-12am seems fair. * I can do that. I once worked 8 hours straight. Once. All I need is for someone to get back to the City and "wear" my electronic monitoring anklet within 150 yards of my place by roughly 9pm. Barring an unscheduled urine test, should be no problem at all. The FI table is going to the bestest table of them all. No other table will even come close to the coolness and exclusivity of the FI table. If you can only visit one table during your time at the parking lot sale, this is the table to see. Don't miss this table, years from now you'll be able to tell the grand kids, "I was there, I bought a lot of stuff from that table, and it was good." Gratuities are not mandatory, but greatly appreciated. I need a 15-minute break, Boss. |

Must put out there that we call our place Hinky DRinks, since we, in no way, want to belie our little shack to merit taking the (exact) same name as a famous landmark in Tikidom. |

I'm actually going to be there! No leaky house in 'Pedro is going to keep me from forbidden island!!!! I'm bringing some fish float lamps with me and it may be the last time to get them! I will have 4 or 5 red 12" and maybe a sleightly "blemmished" cobalt blue or green 12". (I haven't checked yet to see what survived the trip) I'll have some non-lighted 6" floats, some tiki mugs to thin my collection, hand cast and painted (by me - from originals I carved) magnets and pendants available only at the FI parking lot sale. Stop by and say "Howdy!" See you there! |

WOW! What an event! We were part of the first group let in, and it seemed all of the Mug Weirdos ended up at the Munktiki table at the same time, and the grabbing began!! There were six (I think?) of the new Munktiki Original Rotting Flesh Drinking Mugs, and they were snapped up and bought before you could say "Mai Tai" I scored #19, and you can see it already up on OM. I also got the Green Forbidden Island mug, and brought out my #1 Gravedigger to flash around. All of them are up on OM, so check them out! The tacos were great! The Painkillers were dreamy, and I wish it never had to end. Thanks to Martin and the whole Forbidden Gang for making it a wonderful day!

Another successful Forbidden Island backyard sale/reunion. Every time we go it seems we have more friends there to visit with. We also came home with an armload of tiki treasures. Our only wish is to see FI move to Elk Grove so we can avoid 5 hours in our car, other than that it was perfect. Thank you to everyone who worked to put this together, we are ready for the next one, Wendy and Dan [ Edited by: danlovestikis 2007-09-24 06:47 ] |

Get your FI souvenirs! The perfect gift. Shirts and mugs, official Forbidden Island logo items. No waiting. Things are pretty quiet out here. Did I say no waiting? Should of picked 3-4pm_tiki as my TC name way back when. Who knew? midnite ps One more great event, better than last year. I was very happy to see so many old tiki pals out and about. Kudos to all the FI ownership/staff. |
