T TIKI-RAY Member Alta Loma, California Joined: May 18, 2003 Posts: 846	T TIKI-RAY Posted posted on Mon, Jul 25, 2011 7:50 AM Man what a great event but it was packed. Art and his crew didn't see all that coming and they were overwhelmed with customers. But they did their best and everyone had a great time. So much cool art and cars but the people are what make these events. I'm so sore from walking around so much after surgery but it was worth it to get out of the house and see all the people giving Cindy and I support till I recover 100%. Thanks to everyone trying to give up their chairs for me but I'm actually doing so much better and quicker than I thought. I'm feeling it today so ill get back to my icepack. Thank you all.
L Luckydesigns Tiki Socialite Costa Mesa Joined: Sep 15, 2002 Posts: 2374	L Luckydesigns Posted posted on Mon, Jul 25, 2011 9:48 AM What an amazing event! Yeah, Don's was NOT prepared for the onslaught of the over 3,000 people who came through the event, but what a show! It was HOT. And the drink lines were super long. I'm sure they will resolve these issues in the future though. For example, running the AC at full for a whole day before the event and having a separate bar for just beer. That would have fixed A LOT of the issues right there. But to have a car show, an art show, and bands at DON'S?? It was an absolute dream come true for me. I hope the good outweighed the bad for most of the new visitors to Don's and we end up getting some more regulars in there to help keep the place going!

Big thanks to all the people & bands that still made it a fun day!

J JOHN-O Tiki Socialite Dogtown, USA Joined: May 16, 2008 Posts: 2721	J JOHN-O Posted posted on Mon, Jul 25, 2011 1:05 PM It was surreal to see all of those hep kats and cool betties jam packed into Don's !! It was like some weird alternative 1950's dimensional portal opened up into our own Tiki world. My observations: The Don's staff worked like troopers. I will go into Tiki battle with them any time and any place. The Rockabilly/Hot Rod/Kustom Kulture crowd really like their beer !! What's up with all the neck tattoos ?? That might play in the OC but will get you shot in LA proper. Their cash was real. They seemed to be devouring up the Tiki art. :) Sorry I missed the Hula Girls. :( But I scored some Little Lost Tiki art (albeit non-digital, how old-fashioned !!), a Bamboo Ben frame, and the new Tikiyaki O. CD. All in all, a Tiki productive day. :)

WM Wildsville man Member PALM SPRINGSVILLE Joined: Dec 13, 2007 Posts: 1388	WM Wildsville man Posted posted on Mon, Jul 25, 2011 2:34 PM Great Event with a lot of great personalities. 80% of this crowd are not the people I see at other tiki events around California,But I would party with them any day of the week. Everyone was considerate to one another and had a cool Ohana vibe to them. This place was packed past it's abilities but the employee's handled it well. I am sure it will be fixed for future events. With the amount of people that were on hand you would have to bring in some hired gun's or Bonus staff because they seemed to have a lot of body's but still not enough to handle that many people...... Congrat's to Lucky 13 for a great 20 years and awesome party. Congrat's to Art and Don the Beachcombers for opening up the door to such an event. I will support both........ W

The Hula Girls played a great set, we picked up some really cool items from Tiki tOny, Ken Ruzic, and Bamboo Ben, and drank delicious cocktails from Don's. It was a fun crowd and kudos to all those at Don's who kept their cool (figuratively) during the day, despite the crowds. I hope this was the first of many Tiki Highways! kevin
