handbuilt art for next tonga hut art show in April

GROG start new event thread in March. The original post at the beginning of this thread was to inform the artists and art buyers that they had until late March/early April to finish up their art and to save their money to buy these all original one-of-kind handbuilt pieces.

Now to decide on a date. GROG waiting to hear from Jeremy to check Tonga Hut schedule, but GROG thinking that maybe Easter bunny weekend, April 11 would be appropriate since we are featuring Babalu and his proteges. Babs can't make it on the 4th. However, another artist interested in being in the show is unable to make it on the 11th. We could push it to the 18th to give everybody an extra week to finish their art and art collectors have an extra week to save their pennies for the show. However, if we give Buzzy an extra week, he could bust out 100 more pieces and there wouldn't be room for any other artists in the show. Is that a risk we're willing to take?

Everybody check their schedules and chime in here so we can get a consensus.

The 18th works for me :)

Let's all stop kidding ourselves right now and just change the name of the show to something more applicable, such as:

"The Buzzy Art Show, featuring Buzzy, at one of Buzzy's favorite Tiki bars, the Tonga Hut, on Buzzy Night, sometime in April, Buzzy's favorite month."

All of you displaced artists can feel free to make some nifty flyers for my show now. I don't really need the advertising, but I understand you all will need something to do.

I am also making some hand made price tags to put on all the vintage stuff I'll be selling out of my truck in the parking lot that night too. All prices will be hand done by me on a limited 1 of 1 paper tags with some sort of glue/adhesive process used to keep them in place. In addition to the hand made tag, you will also receive a vintage or used tiki product!

Let's change the name of this thread now to avoid the confusion that we have with the old thread title.

This place will be packed with Buzzy loyalists! If you can't make it, tough shit! There will be plenty of people there to take your place!

Buzzy Out!

...and we'll change the name from the Tonga Hut to The House of Buzz just for that night.

Screw the Buzzy show!

it was about the handbuilt art for next tonga hut art show in April
and Buzzy's World Domination plans...

Good to hear Ben's booking out! That's a good sign.

Ok, looks like everyone's gots stuffs happening...what's the werd?

It's looking like it's going to be on April 11th, so artists get your crap finished.

We are FEATURING original hand-built ceramics ---no molded pieces.

GROG need to know who's going to be in the show, and how much crap you're bringing, so we can figure out space, so PM GROG. GROG not selling for other people, so don't expect to ship stuff for GROG to sell.If you've been in the Tonga Hut, then you know that space is limited, so don't get pissed if you get turned down for this particular night.

Babalu, Bai/Squid, Bowana, GROG and Buzzy are locked-in. Kirby's got some original hand-carved pendants that don't take up much room, so he'll probably fit in a small dark corner.

Look forward to attending this show, love the concept of the show, but gonna bow out of showing. Have some handbuilt stuff in the works, but don't think i will have my shit together for this, and in keeping in mind the limited space, don't want to commit and then back out. Good luck to the guys showing on getting their pieces completed and i hope there are no cracks to be found.

a definite maybe
and if "yes"
then room for 2-4 mug-sized pieces....

I'm very happy for GROG, That GROG is going to make some GROG art, GROG seem to know very well what he was talking about when he says don't sell your soul, so I think this is going to fix that a lot, very happy for you and hoping to see a lot more GROG art, I honestly like it very much :)

GROG sux!
and don't any of youse fergit it!

I know, I know :) but maybe people can help GROG with the event organization so he can have some time to go to Babalu's Exotic inspirational land and get some GROG stuff done... or not it's okay, I was just saying :) (sorry)
