I screwed up and got a 5'x10' under tent booth not realizing I have a commitment that day. I'd like to find someone who wants to share the booth with me and help me sell some paintings, which take up very little space, in exchange for them having the rest of the booth to themselves - no cost. Oko

Hi Oko, I have been waiting for Michael to write back about a vending spot but have not heard. I would be happy to share your spot & vend for you if I can't get a space. Ron |

I just booked my airfare, so Taboo Island will be there! Any recommendations on a hotel nearby? I'm looking at the Days Inn, seems like one of the closest... http://www.tabooisland.com [ Edited by: Mo-Eye 2009-08-29 14:03 ] |

Hey Mo-Eye, Glad to have you aboard! The Days Inn has some cool Googi architecture, but sadly, is pretty sketchy. I'd recommend the A nicer hotel experience adn a little more spendy (I think) would be: Coral Reef Inn & Suites Marina Village Inn |

I second the Marina Village Inn for it location & service. Although The Coral Reef Inn are suites w/kitchenettes, so if you are extending your stay, or have special dietary needs, they'd be the best bet. |

The Marina Village Inn is nice, however, if you happen to be 6'15" like Doug Horne, the beds may be too short for you! I know Doug ended up moving to the Coral Reef Inn from Marina Village to get a bed long enough for his giant-sized stature! |

Hawthorne Suites is only a few years old and serves complimentary full breakfast (at least they did this summer. It also has a guest spa. We checked out the rooms and they were clean and comfortable. It's not luxury, but it's clean and comfortable. If you don't mind being on the main street of Webster I think it's the closest in terms of walking to FI. [ Edited by: Coco Loco 2009-08-30 22:44 ] |

As both an Alameda resident and FI's PR dude, I am personally anticipating this year's event because I will have convenient access to the wares of famous tiki artisans I normally only meet at huge far-flung shindigs like Tiki Oasis - including the likes of Doug Horne, Thor and Taboo Island. The roster seems especially exciting this year, though I've always found great stuff at FI's parking lot sales (Monica needs some new Tiki Goddess dresses from Retro Diva). It's also cool we've added a live exotica band indoors (the Lee Vilensky Trio) along with the always reliable DJ Tanoa. See ya there! |

So I've been inspired by my large collection of Hawaiian shirts that I don't wear because they don't fit me. I started with this really great green one and ended up with these:
which I will have for sale at the FI Parking Lot Sale, along with several other patterns, for example:
They all have a shirt pocket detail on the front (some even sport the buttoned front seam!!) a patch pocket AND inset pocket and snap closure. Additionally, I'll have vintage Aloha wear and Mid-Century clothing from my personal collection, Tiki collectables, hair flowers, and more, that I need to find good homes for. Make sure to tell me you're TC member and get 20% off of everything! Mahalo! |

Aloha everybody! I'm excited about participating in my 2nd Forbidden Island Parking Lot Sale! I'll be bringing some plush Tiki Bobs with me... I sold out of all that I had made in time for TIki Oasis 9, but I've got bunch more ready for the Forbidden Island Parking Lot Sale! I've changed the fabric, so it it closer to the color of the actual Tiki Bob mug, but the material remains the same: The figures stand 10" high and are 4" in diameter. I'm working on some new stuff that will debut at the Forbidden Island Parking Lot Sale, I'll try to post here if I get a chance!

Fab Gabs Vintage Co. is VERY excited to be a part of this event! Stuffed into a very crowded 5x10 space will be a crowded rack of men's vintage aloha shirts, a rack of women's aloha dresses and vintage 40's/50's/early 60's rockabilly wear, a small rack of men's vintage 50s duds and some cool mid-century lamps too! Oh, and the shelf with some fun pieces of kitsch... you'll just have to wait until Sunday to see it all! All men's aloha shirts - regardless of price - are buy 4 get 1 free! (Free shirt of equal or lesser value!) So come stock up at Fab Gabs! There will be a few worthy reproductions in the mix, but 95% of the aloha shirts are authentic vintage, there's some fantastic pieces! Featured on the mannequins will be a 1938 Kamehameha Gauguin Wedding Set - XL shirt and stunning ladie's holomuu, provided by a local Bay Area collector.

Can't wait for this weekend! I've been working on some new pieces that will debut at the Forbidden Island Parking Lot Sale... I made a couple of larger plush Tiki Bobs. They're a little over 2 feet tall, and about 9" in diameter. I also made a couple of Tiki Bob messenger bags. And I made some framed maps made from vinyl, fuzzy car upholstery and Naugahyde. They are inspired by those vintage maps from travel agencies of south seas islands, and are all three dimensional and stuff! |

Doug I have always been a huge fan of artists who wrap their images around a canvas or make sure that the edges of the canvas lend some interest to the piece as a whole. Really loved these when I first saw you had posted them on here and I cant wait to see them on Sunday. Glad you are bringing them. |
