Preview--

GROG on hiatus from DAN VS. right now, so GROG getting back to doing ceramics. GROG have a bunch of greenware left over from when GROG was preparing inventory for Tiki Oasis. But, since GROG was working in animation GROG not have time to make ceramics to vend at Oasis, so GROG will have Salt and Pepper Moais, Tiki Bob Shot glasses, Tiki Bob S&P's, Duncan Moais with Topknot lids and shots, and some hand-made one-of mugs and bowls.

GROG Moai Bowl in progress. Tikis carved out of rock.

And maybe a few custom Bobs as well, such as" Whistling Bob" in progress now.

Possibly.

We're working out the logistics now. With the Glasgow Tiki Shakers playing inside, there's a good chance we may not have room inside for an art show. We may be able to set up outside in a vendor space, but the art show will then only be up until the sun goes down which is about 5pm.

Eric October would be heading up the art show, and he is talking to Amy now about whether it would be feasible or not.

Looking forward to sharing/spinning my eclectic mix of X-mas music for the event.
I'm always looking for retro, cool, and weird x-mas music all year round, just to be able to play it at events like this.

thanks to Grog, and all at the Tonga Hut for having me.

Every X song is a X-mas song!

Nothing brings the holiday cheer more then "Johny Hit and Run Paulene"
just throw on the LP at the Tonga Hut & watch the fun.

X does have an Xmas song - Santa clause is coming to town (looks like tikilongbeach already said that). I love the Vandals Xmas album. Play it every year! I also have a little known promo cd with 3 Xmas songs by Bad Religion.

I have to work so I cannot attend. I want to go and get one of Grogs mugs! They are super cool. Hope it goes well and everyone has fun! I wish I could be there.

I love leaving cookies out for...uhhh....Santa. Yeah. Santa. Not for myself. For Santa.

And a great reminder to settle on (and bake) a Christmas cookie recipe for Tiki Wonderland!

If you'd rather do a holiday dessert rather than cookies, that's fine.

The ten day forecast says we will have a nice sunny day with very little wind, so should be a good day for vending outside.

Here's a list of some of the vendors we have so far and we're waiting for confirmation from a few more.

KRISDAMA, JOHNNIE VELOUR, GROG, TOBUNGA, SANDRA DEE, RONTIKI, NESON'S TIKI HUT, TIKIROOTSROCKA, KAYLYNN CAMPBELL, DAN STATLER, plus a few more.


PLUS, there is the art show headed up by Eric (Tobunga) October, so contact Eric if you have something you'd like to put in the art show.

Here are some ceramic pieces in the works for Tiki Wonderland.

I'm making a couple Tiki Bob's bucket mugs, because there seems to be bucket mugs for every other establishment, I though it would be fun!

I have a cool new glaze I can't wait to try out on the PNG drum bowl... now if everything survives....

TiKiMaN77 posted on 12/03/2012

Welp, Eric's already seen this one on Facebook, as well as many others who are on the Tiki Page...but felt I had to throw it up here too. About to start getting to work on inking this one first, since it is the Larger, and more detailed of the 2 pieces for the art show.
