B

Hey! any galleries down there

and sell?

B

yeah, i didnt get asked to participate either. apparently we were frosted out!

i imagine if we post and complain enough
we might be able to weasel in....

B

yeah, my feelings aren't hurt at all.
it's not like we have been bloodied in the trenches for years, fighting for the greater glory of tiki, only to have these johnny-come-lately scene-jumpers cash in on our blood sweat and tears.

I hear ya! 6-7 years of this....
Working my butt off
and then a Tiki-themed show
right in the neighborhood
Blackballs us....
Feel like i got kicked in the nuts....

I mean OUCH!

yea whats up with those johnny-come-latelys?

would have been nice to know about this earlier too.

B

ouch. now we know kevin kidney feels. no respect for their elders.

yeah, no problem come on over and crash my party, drink my beer and pee in my pool!

I say we pack up the jalopy and bum-rush that event!
We can lean some pieces against the car and have our own respectable gallery setting!

They probably went with REAL artists instead of a couple of "posers" like you and Toe. :P

B

oh I see, so it's all "Simpson-style" tikis...Grog is finally cashing in!

and yeah, just like that drunken kook at Oasis, we're gonna roll in with some punk-ass crap and sell out of our pick-up trucks! what was his name? "Urin-Soaked Tiki"?

Yeah i forgot...
"Real" artists make Moai salt-n-pepper shakers
and write unfunny comic strips...
my bad.

"Urin-soaked tiki?" :lol:

You guys may require some strong-arm security during your "impromptu" parking-lot scene? I can easily arrange a group of my OC flip bruddahs to help "make everything go smoothly"...think of them as diarrhetic relief flowing thru OC art-audience constipation.

(but now that I think of it, you guys always conduct yourselves quite nicely - no help required.)

GROG not REAL artist. GROG caveman animator who dabble in tiki-themed ceramics. Just like you and Toe are shirt artists who dabble in tiki-styled paintings.

REAL tiki artists are like Crazy Al who live and die by just doing their tiki art.

Leroy Schmaltz, Bamboo Ben, Tiki Diablo, Bosko, and Squid, also.

Get better soon Tiki-Kate and Marie.

We'll all be dead in ten years from Chem trails, so it doesn't matter anyways.

P.S. Did you guys know there's an art show in Santa Ana?

B

yeah, rub it in Grog. at least u get PAID in that animation racket.
I am imagining you know, lighting ur hunnert dollar bills with other hunnert dollar bills...
Meanwhile, my brother's psychic told him i was "drinking myself to death", so i figure i won't have to worry about it too much longer. the wife's got me insured for about a mil and a half, so she and the girls can grieve in the South of France while i rot in a pine box.
Then I will go haunt those Santiago carpet-baggers.

Nothing more frightening than a
FAT OLD WALRUS GHOST....
except GOUT....
I'm just sayin...

Carpetbaggers Beware!

B

yeah, i heard someone's coming over to photograph Ken "au naturale" that night. i say we make it a barn-burner! i'll bring the cocaine and cough syrup! That ought to clear up Ernie's GOUT and my SEROTIC liver!

To HADES with the armed dog patrols AND those damn Santiago sycophants!

G can send da bruddas over there to do a little "island sensitivity training".
