OCTOBER 28th (SUNDAY)
MONSTERS AND MAI TAIS HALLOWEEN ART SHOW AND PARKING LOT SALE!!!

Just Added to the festivities: MUG RELEASE for Tonga Hut Coconut mugs... limited quantities available, be sure to grab one early!

Also, costumes are encouraged at this event!

Tonga Hut will open early at 2pm with vendors selling their wares at the same time as well.

Vendors will pack up at sundown, but the art show and festivities will continue inside into the night!

Attention Artists and Vendors

Anyone interested in vending or having a piece in the show should either PM tobunga aka Eric October or email him at: ericoctober@gmail.com

Vending
Fee is 25.00
Spaces are limited, so please contact Eric asap if you want a spot!

Art Show
Since this is the first time since the remodel that artwork will be on display inside, and because we're trying out a new way to display the work, we're only able to show wall-hanging pieces.

It's a Halloween-themed show in a tiki bar, so think tikis, monsters, pumpkins, Day of the Dead and stuff like that!

There will be a vote and a prize awarded for "Beast in Show"

So, please let Eric know if you're interested in having work in the art show asap... again, space is limited, so try to keep your monstrous creations at a moderate size!

Aloha everybody!

Monsters & Mai Tais is almost upon us!

Here's a peek at what I'll be vending:

The Punkinhead pieces I've had in the works:

Islander bucket mug

Islander mug

Islander platter

I'll also have copies of Tiki By Moonlight, featuring the Islander on the cover...
I've created a special version of the Islander pendant, ceramic with a black wash glaze.
Buy a book, get a pendant!

And I discovered a stash of Islander bamboo from Abstractiki...
The pieces are about 5' long, enough to use to frame one of my Islander prints.
Buy a print, get some bamboo!

And also...
A Tiki Bob entrance mug

See everybody Sunday!

WOW!!! What a monstrous event! Mahalos to everyone who came out to support the artists and the Hut!

Mahalos to the artists and vendors who participated in the event and made it so indescribably incredible! I was running around like a maniac, but I definitely got a chance to check out all the mind blowing work from a very talented group of people! (congrats to the Bearded Bastard for winning Beast in Show!)

Lotsa Mahalos to DJ Marty Lush for providing a spooky soundscape of the event (and to Tonga Tom for the earlier eerie earful in the parking lot)

Big Mahalos to Jeremy and Amy for having the coolest tiki bar on the planet, and Marie for her expert, non-stop mixology madness!

And an extra special Mahalo to Manuel, who kept me on track getting the event organized and up and running!

Hopefully people will post pics from the event!

Congratulations on putting together a great show Eric. Lots of fun was had all afternoon. And evening. There as a a lot of great art on display, the place was packed, and the drinks flowing. We picked up some new ceramics from the vendors as well. Rum jug!

Thanks to Tom and Marty Lush for the tunes, Amy and Jeremy for hosting, and Marie for working tirelessly behind the bar!
