Tiki-files!

Those who know me and my wife know we've got a bit of, well, clutter, in our house. Thanks to the modern miracle of reality tv, we're going to get organized!

CLEAN HOUSE, on the Style Network, is coming to help us sort through and thin the collection. This will culminate in a yard sale on Feb 12. There will be tiki, hawaiiana, and kitsch galore - more than 25 years worth of collecting will be there for the taking! There will also be a performance by MESHUGGA BEACH PARTY! And does it hurt to be on TV? Come and wear your tiki finest!

DETAILS:
KOOKYKITSCH / CLEAN HOUSE yard sale
Saturday, Feb 12 9AM - 1PM
2909 Chapman St, Oakland (just over the Park St. Bridge from Alameda)

Nothing like a yard sale with Meshugga Beach Party to take the edge off a hangover. :)

BTW, I didn't see an email?

I emailed kookykitsch@aol.com
That is not your email D:
?
I even got a reply.
Damnit it was the person in charge of the show.
I was asking if I could come and peruse before our party, and they said no, because the television crews were coming tomorrow and they needed everything to be there.

Gotcha - that's my wife's email address. We'd love to have been able to help for your party, but the TV crews are decending this afternoon. I bet your party will be a hit, because tiki is before anything a state of mind (ideally rum induced). Please have a drink in our honor, I know we'll need one!

FYI, the hosts cut some kind of deal with Jessica that if she sells half of her tiki mug collection, they'll buy something nice for our house. Just saying...

I am bumping this for Mel and Jess.

Seriously these guys have AWESOME stuff (I know I have stumbled around in it multiple times before) and you would be a fool to miss this sale.

leleliz, we will do our best to be there. We are missing you and our other tiki friends and this looks like it will be as fun as a party. Hugs, Wendy

Thanks to everyone who attended! I hope that some of our tikis and other kitsch has found new loving homes.

The episode is due to air in late spring or summer; as soon as we know I'll post here!

Yup, the show will be airing all week. Keep in mind the times on the Clean Hosue website are east coast, so it airs this evening at 7PM PST. A few familiar faces appear at the yard sale...
