Don't worry Grog...there will be a retired sheriff there...Hey Unga, you didn't miss it yet.....it's Saturday. Plenty of time for you to make it down. Where are the Bay area people? BTD....thanks for the blast from the past. The plants sure look small and our walls aren't white....Thanks 1961, I must have missed your velvet post. We now have most of them hung inside along with a bunch more stuff in the formerly bare bar.... |

I wish I could make it down, Ron, because you and Mickee are the best! Good times hanging out with you guys on the Sunday before Tiki Oasis. Yeah, Mark Holt is having a big party at his place on the same day, and a lot of the NorCal Ohana will be hangin' out there. Oh well, there's always next year. Anyone that hasn't seen the Rincon Room yet, you are seriously doing yourselves a disservice by not going. |

I feel the same way, sort of like the kids lining the fence outside Wonkaland, waiting to see what new and amazing things are there, like the clam shell fountain. SwampFire, no booth at the Primer nationals? Or are you saying, the Nat's are not driving you but the Rincon Room? |

Hope everyone is having a gas at King Kukulele's Tiki Ti gig! We will be busy here tomorrow prepping so we can hit the Primer Nationals Saturday morning. Aloha.... |

Next year! For sure! I hope you all have a great time! I'll be thinking of you, and raising a drink at the 20th Anniversary of The Dairyland Surf Classic this weekend! |

"What I Have Learned", by Tangaroa-Ru I have learned that I really should not leave L.A. on Labor Day weekend EVER AGAIN. I cannot believe how many fine Tiki events were happening over the past few days out here. Nevertheless, Asheville has been lovely and it is good to see old friends here, too. Thanks to everyone who has posted photos so I can, at least, see what I missed! |

Ron & Mickee, you guys are the best. Thank you so much for opening up you awesome home to us. I am amazed at your collection. It was great to be able to see so many of the TC Ohana there from all over. I for one can definitely say that it was WELL WORTH the long drive from the OC to be there. I am so glad that so many people were able to document this event with pictures. Keep em coming! |

Ron and Mickee are such gracious hosts, and they have such a wonderful home, that it’s like being transported to a tropical paradise. Their collection is incredible and it’s displayed so beautifully. Their parties have all the perfect elements of good food and drinks, live music, and lots of great friends. |

Mr. and Mrs. Bongofury... you both are so amazing. Both your creative spirits have blossomed into an amazing exOtic Jungle environment once again and thank you for sharing a little bit of the world you have created. The foliage has really taken off, and I can only imagine the amazing jungle you'll have in just a few more years. I always forget just how inspiring your vintage collection can be, especially with the meticulous way its all presented. Your suggestion to paint black velvet as well as your awesome collection of velvets inspired me to put paint to velvet, and I'm more excited about tiki now than I was when I first discovered my first palm log and bamboo in the riverbed to make my first Tiki Hut almost 10 years ago!

A huge thank you to Ron and Mickee. The house is absolutely amazing. I could hardly pull myself away from the Cabinet of Awesome Stuff. The guest bartenders were sensational. I had no idea that Ojaitimo made such a killer mai tai. It was incredibly nice of Tony to sign posters. I had a fabulous time. |
