At my place, Saturday June 21st, Gecko will be offering his thoughts on carving with Poly Pop in the afternoon followed by a cocktails and a bar-B-que. I'm thinking 3:00 to 6:00 for the carving. 6:00 till dawn for the bar-B-que. I'm easy to find.

Drive to Oceanside on the 5.

Turn East on mission.

Turn right on Mesa.

I live on the left hand side Can't miss it.

I sure wish me and mine could go, but we've got plans. For those that have not been to the Lagoon Room, GO! You're in for a treat. Very cool of Mike (Gecko) to offer some insight into carving. He'll be a tiki carving legend like Leroy in his time, and you can say "I knew him when...".

Have Fun.

The Monkeyman family will be there.

Let us know if we can help with anything.

Gecko, Is Poly bringing some tools with him or should I bring over some chisels? I would like to bring over the mini tiki's that I have been working on to show you. I am starting on the 6th one tonight.

SHeeeeit! I haven't figured out how to be in 2 places at the same time,.........ammitday.

I might make it down, just depends on how my family obligations go earlier in the day.

We are saddened to not be able to make this one. Have a short slurp to Trustar.

Have fun

Darn. I'll be heading down to San Diego today, too, but unfortunately no time to stop by.

I'll be in town, so I'm there for a while too! Bringing my tools.

Thank you Al and Shelley for hosting this one of a kind event. The BBQ was delicious and the bonfire & slide show was memorable. What a surreal experience it was to experience the simultaneous carving stylings of Gecko and Chiki Tiki Diablo.

Enjoy the pics!

Can anyone tell me what kind of power grinders you use? I have no clue as to what to buy. Thanks in advance my tiki brothers, JT

In case anyone was wondering how the tiki Gecko was carving above came out, here are some pics. BTW JungleTrader, he happily resides with me now!

Poly Dawg. That is one fine tiki, you deserve it bro. Jeez, and you got it for a smile.

Gecko, the carving session was a blast. Next time, we gotta start earlier in the day. Maybe we can do that again but at your pad next time. I'll bring Chiki with me on my next trip to da islands.
