Tiki Daze Blowout! $2 each!

Price blowout!

Aloha Kanes and Wahines!

We are feverishly working on the new Tiki Daze wall calendar. It's giving me late nights and weird dreams.

This is a grassroots effort. Just me and Ms. Swanky, working to make this happen. We're excited about the project and the product. We are sure it's going to thrill and excite those who happen upon it.

What we need are more ways to spread the Tiki throughout the land using the various tools science has made available to us.

That means you, tiki lover! (or liker, as the case may be)

What we are looking for are retail stores you know of that would be good candidates to carry the calendar. Vintage shops, comics stores, funky, fresh, and other. Alternative book stores. You know what we mean. We want to send promo material to the right places.

So please tell me what you know. If you have the address, cool, if not, I'll find it. Just tell us the name and city and state.

Also, add us to your MySpace friends. We are here.

The new website should be up next week and we'll start taking orders.

Mahalo nui loa!

The new website will be up this week!

Tiki Calendar for 2008

[ Edited by: swanky 2008-03-24 20:22 ]

Great name and logo Swanky.
Let me know when that logo is available on a shirt.

Happy Trails in Alameda has a store in the busiest part of downtown and an online store as well. They seem to have cut back a bit on their tiki stuff in the past year, but still have a few of the kitschy type things, as well as some Tiki Farm mugs.

Here in Portland, OR, there's Home Ec http://www.homeec.net/welcome.html and the Freaky Tiki Retro Deck http://www.kpdx.com/ezone/13318166/detail.html

Cool. Keep 'em comin'!

Another place to try - in Sonoma County near Sonoma State U. "North Light Books and Cafe". I have seen Tiki Farm mugs there and all kinds of cool things! http://www.northlightbook.net/

Good Luck, Swanky! Great calendar cover.

I am sure that 8 Ball will take a stack.

The website is now up to take orders for November delivery!

Keep those retail locations coming. Nobody knows better than you, the hip places that might carry this calendar.

A couple of thoughts, Swanky

Wacko aka the Soap Plant in L.A., CA would be perfect

Atomic Books in Baltimore, MD
http://www.atomicbooks.com

Can't wait to see it.

Cheers,
Kiki

Cool! Just ordered mine and signed up for the mailing list! Thanks, Swanky!

A couple retail joints to check out in Atlanta

Junkman's Daughter

Criminal Records

Woody's Halfpipe

Cool. I had Junkman's and Atomic, but not the others.

I can't wait to have it in my hands either. I'm excited just by the postcards!

BTW, the website had problems for those who use FireFox. That browser did not handle the css correctly. It's fixed. So, if you wondered where the content was in your FireFox browser, try us again.

Be sure to subscribe to the newsletter and get the free tiki desktop wallpaper and all the future ones too!

Virginia is not a treasure trove of tiki goodness but World of Mirth here in Richmond carries a good selection of Tiki Farm mugs and some other bits of tiki. Good luck.

Plan B in Calgary might be worth checking out.

Not a website, but I found their myspace page.

I just bought one it will be great to finally have a tiki calender instead of the same old "Hawaii" calendar again!

I just sent a promo card off to Canada today, and Australia...

As so often in life, the thing about this project that seemed so simple and sure has become an issue. We thought we would have the calendars in hand by now, but instead found out our printers can't have it going until mid-December! So, we have a new printer and think we will have it by the end of the month and out to you who have ordered in early December.

Why must everything be some complicated?

Sorry I missed this topic earlier. If you are still looking for retailers try contacting Freedom Surf Shop in Virginia Beach. If you call ask for Dave, he's my friend that owns the shop. He leaves by 5 everyday though.

The calendar has finally gone to the printers and it just flat rocks! It turned out really incredible. The only calendar you would ever hang in your Tiki Space. Well, maybe Shag, but, it still would not work like this one will.

Get on over to Tiki Daze and reserve yours now and you'll have it in your hand and on your wall in no time!

Anyone who will be in Seattle for the Jetset Junket home bar tour will get to see it first. I am sending a couple directly to them from the printers and you will get it before I do!

Hey Swanky, I ordered my calendar a few weeks back, and am attending the Seattle crawl, is there any chance you could send mine along with the batch? I can't WAIT to see it!

Cheers!

Absolutely! I'll send it along and let Elicia know.

Anybody else wanna order and have it sent to the Junket or already paid for one and will be there?

Excellent, thanks very much!
Saves you from having to fill out all those dumb customs forms for Canada too.

The Tiki Daze calendar will debut at the Shag opening. Very cool. You guys in Seattle will see it before I do! If you want to get the calendar in Seattle and get it first, now is your chance. Just send me a note along with your payment and I'll send you calendar directly there from the printers. There is a very small window for this, so let me know now!

Looks great! :wink:

The calendars left the printers on Friday and are headed this way. Those with orders in will have them shipped out on Friday. Can't wait!

Hey Swanky,
The calendar looks great!
Going to get one for me and the Bistro.
This will get here in time for Xmas yes?
Good luck!!!

Yay! Can't wait to see it!

Me and the Athens/Atlanta Tiki Centralites are pretty excited about getting ours. The work and travel that went into it I know was tremendous, as well as the rarity of the golden-era pieces pictured therein. Having seen it, I'd say if you own Tiki Quest or either one of Sven's books this one is a must-have.

oh
my
gosh
the calendar pictures are awesome!! we got copies to raffle off/ look at at the Jet City Junket.. i dont remember who won ~ i just wished that it was ME!

Swanky thanks for the swell giftbag stuffers and the donation of calendars! Pea, Wahine and Patrick got theirs.. lucky bums!

ok.. im off to order more.. for me this time!

Got my calendar today.. It Rocks!!! Can't wait to see the monthly freebies...

Cheers!!

Rick

Nice work on the calendar Swanky. My cube at work is much happier now :)

Thank you Swanky, I brought my calendar home from the Jet City Junket and totally love it! It's the nicest tiki calendar I've seen yet!

I can't wait to hang it on the first of January.

Great Minds Drink Alike

[ Edited by: Tikiwahine 2007-12-18 23:08 ]

Just got my calendar in the mail last night!
OOh La Laaaa
Great great pics - nice quality - really fun to have. It's already up in my home office!
Thanks and well done! :)
It helped to take the curse off of our snow and ice and freezing weather!

So glad you guys like it. Much much work paid off. We're very proud of it!

Just got out from under the pile of 250 orders. You'll soon be getting it if you ordered already and you can soon pick one up at the Freaky Tiki Retro Deck in Portland, Junkman's Daughter in Atlanta, a couple of places in Athens, GA, and Jonny's Speed Shop in Cedar Rapids, plus a few places in Kyoto... If your business would like to carry them, gimme an email.

Thanks for ordering and thanks for the kind words!

p.s. The Mai Kai calendar page a day has temporarily stopped while I struggle to hand wrap all these orders. It should resume in a bit...

Mine showed up today and I love it!

Thanks Swanky!

Great job, Swanky!

Thanks for filling a serious void in Tikiland, and for rushing to get it to us before the Holidays!

Next up, who is willing to design some Tiki checks sans the Party City Purple Plastic Party God? Anybody?

Rev. Tiki

Got mine yesterday..... Get one! it will "Tiki Up" your cold days & Heat Up your Tiki Nights Wink :wink: Thanks Tiki Daze! HAVE A CoOl YuLe!

Merry Christmas!

For years we have used the ABC store calendar for a touch of Hawaii, no more, we have upgraded to the Tiki Daze calendar for photos of fun mugs and more. This made a wonderful gift for Dan. It's worth saving so we won't be writing appointments on this one, thank you, Wendy

In our humble opinion May is the best month. We may be biased though.

Got my calendar in time for Christmas. It looks awesome!

i got my calendar just before yuletide and it's GORGEOUS!! The folks at Tiki Daze were extremely friendly, keeping me updated on progress and the postage to the UK was impressively fast!

glad so many others also think it's gorgeous - hope you're bringing one out for 2009!!

Magnificent job!

Howdy, Cats and Kittens.
I just got my Tiki-Daze calendar in the mail, and it looks great!

Tiki Daze is now available at The Ukulele Shop in Virginia!
