We'll have DJ Marty Lush finishing the night out for those who wish to hang out and drink once THE HULA GIRLS have finished performing.

GROG posted on 03/05/2010

And just because GROG believe in truth in advertising---THE HULA GIRLS are not girls at all, and they don't hula. But, they are a fantastic band and you guys will really enjoy them. The Tonga Hut is really glad to have them and look forward to seeing and hearing them perform.

Are the owners next to the Tonga Hut gonna let us use their parking lot? It's a shame for that big space to go to waste.

BTD, I agree! It's not like they are open for business. And it's a parking lot, it's not like we are going trash it....Bad Karma on their part -- may their businesses shrivel like a raisin.

We've still got places for vendors, so if you're interested in vending, pm GROG. GROG still waiting to hear back from some of you GROG already contacted, and there are several that are at the "Let me check my schedule and get back to you" stage.

MAHALO MAHALO MAHALO! :drink:
May the Tiki Gods smile on GROG and The Tonga Hut for bringing us all together for another sure-to-be great event!
And outside in the daytime no less! . . . not sure how many of us have seen each other in the full light of day. . . should be interesting. :wink:

I've been MIA lately, and I am really looking forward to coming out of hiding to spend time with friends, AND pedal some great to wares (and wears) !
I should have NEW Atomikitty art prints and merch, as well as a collection of KILLER vintage Hawaiian threads!
(Just in time for Viva Las Vegas and Tiki Caliente and Hukilau and all the great spring/summer fun!)

Thanks again to GROG and The Tonga Hut!
Looking forward to seeing you all on the 28th :)

Vendors in the parking lot outside. May have some artists inside. We haven't done a parking lot sale before, so we're making it up as we go. We were hoping to get about 20 artist/vendors, so we've still got room for more.

Sorry no pic but here is a teaser of what we will have. Some Tiki Farm mugs, newer and vintage Hawaiian shirts (I will have few 2x 3x and even a couple of 4x), a set of Haywood Wakefield tables (end and coffee table). Anyone need a portable bar? I will have at least one. The bar is custom made for use at your fav event. Need some swank threads to wear to TO10 ? Be sure to check out our custom Tiki Tux jackets. We will have a few on site and will take orders as well. More stuff to be added as I dig it out on the garage.

I will try to get some pics up in the next couple of days.
