But, GROG can tell you that Jeff--BigFreakyDude--- will be DJaying. This is his first time----at the Tonga Hut, so be gentle with him. You crazy people with your nail pollish photos --- GROG going to have to make it mandatory that all contributing artists wear nail pollish at the art show if ya'll don't behave.

G GROG Grand Member (1 year) Tujunga Joined: Jun 21, 2006 Posts: 7548	G GROG Posted posted on Wed, Mar 11, 2009 9:25 AM Still waiting to hear from Jeremy about the music setup, BigSneakyDude. GROG call him again today. Got alot of people that want to be in the art show and a limited amount of space. Even people from far away places.GROG thinking that after the Tonga Hut Art show is finished on April 11, then we will continue it online and the artists in the show can post pics of their art that didn't sell that night, as well as artists that we couldn't fit in the show, and this will give the world-at-large a chance to see and purchase original hand-built stuff other than just the people who showed up at the Tonga Hut. (nice run-on sentence) What do ya'll think about this idea?

I thank Grog for the offer to provide a tad mellower and quieter evening of music. :) Jeff(bigtikidude)

The Tonga hut may be small but its a great place and thats why its always packed . It does get hard to move around sometimes but its great bumping into the quality of people there .

G GROG Grand Member (1 year) Tujunga Joined: Jun 21, 2006 Posts: 7548	G GROG Posted posted on Fri, Mar 13, 2009 9:52 AM SO, GROG decide to make this into a TWO PART art show. The first part will be at the Tonga Hut on April 11. Then the second part will continue after April 11 online on Tiki Central which will make available everything that didn't sell the night of the art show, and we'll open it up to other artists to post their original art as well. This should provide more art for the public at large rather than just the patron's of the Tonga Hut who show up for the show April 11. That being said, hopefully more people besides Squid will post some of what they're bringing to the Tonga Hut on this thread. [ Edited by: grog 2009-03-15 22:45 ]

GROG is an independent thinker. GROG is a decision maker. GROG is an innovator. GROG invented "Whil". I think GROG should host GROG advice column on Tiki Central.
