With no testing, the 4 color mix for the glaze came out spot on for what i was shooting for. So we will indeed be walking around with these. They are pretty large, most likely will hold at least two mai tais. Though they will be holding mai tais saturday night, the image these are based on traditionally holds something else. Alright gotta get some lunch, enough teasers, see you saturday night!

We are missing so much up here. Hey Jay, Dan has been having fun teasing me because he got credit for taking the photos in the book. I took the photos, he was the gofer who brought each art object from the collection to the velvet covered table for me to photograph. Every day I love the book more. You did a wonderful write up to go with the photos, thank you for all the hard work. Wendy

Lil Squirt Shots by Squid Burnin' Love by Von Franko, The Pizz stacker set, just to name a few. All are at release prices. We also got a sneak peek of the book. Congrats to Jay, Holden and everyone else who were involved. The book looks great.

The answer is no and won't be until mid day on Saturday. They had a end cap set with some cheap mass produce tiki junk. Also there were people working on setting up the gallery which I'm uncertain if it was just for their usual art or for the book signing. the art show tonight has little to nothing to do with the book signing. This is an annual 'group' show of 'La Luz' artist. I got in it because of my 12 year relationship with the gallery. Heather because she is Hot! anyway see you tonight or tomorrow!!

Heather because she is Hot! anyway see you tonight or tomorrow!! Oooh Al, i think you are hot too, not to fret (insert heart shaped balloons here). I am sure it was Heather's extreme talent that got her in the show, but i am sure she appreciates your appreciation of her beauty. I can assume we all can take your comments about the La Luz Everything but the Kitchen Sink group show here as a rousing support of the Tiki Mugs book release party and that you have checked the "i am attending" box. See you tomorrow. Polynesiac and Jeff, i think the band Black Velvet Flag beat us by about 10 or so years to having a band called Black Velvet Flag. If you haven't heard them their lounge cover of a Suicidal Tendencies song is incredible. Jeff, would still take you up on your offer to play bass (Poly, any instruments you can play?) and i will murder your ears with my amateur attempts to play my cornet. Please tell Jonpaul to pack extra water and blankets for his painfully long trek to the Hollywood area. Kiki, glad you enjoyed the ditty, maybe we can have a group sing along at the show.
