With a glossary this long, it seems as though Tiki Oasis 14 is ripe for some Beatnik Byword Bingo. http://johnpmathew.blogspot.com/2012/03/beatniks-glossary-we-spoke-this.html?m=1 kevin |

Heading down to San Diego this Thursday. Here is last years Tiki Oasis. I tried to post photos here but I guess they are too large? 5mb or so, I would resize them if I had the time? https://www.facebook.com/ojaitimo/media_set?set=a.10201278986644058.1073741831.1453970922&type=3 |

Here is a small sampling of what will have available for you at the Rincon Trading Post. I have not seen the vendor map but we should be in our usual spot to the left of the main stage next to TikiToNy and Beachcomber Ceramics. Besides the blowfish in the last pic we will have the last of our puffer fish lamps, we will have lots of vintage stuff (United Airlines Tiki, Black Velvet Paintings, mugs, and more). Come by and say Aloha! We look forward to seeing everyone. |

Aloha everybody! I'm really excited about Oasis! Here's some pieces I finished in the nick of time... To continue the tiki temple bowl series I started with the Stockton Isander and Mai Kai bowls... the Tiki Ti, in bowl form! And to commemorate this year's beatnik theme, I've created a mug set of a pair of marq bongos, playing themselves: Speaking of drums, here's a completed pic of some of the PNG drum pendants I created: And a completed pic of the PNG croc bowl: Here's some PNG platters: And another cassowary bowl... this one got a little crazy big... it's 15" high, possibly the tallest ceramic piece I've made to date! See everyone in a few hours! [ Edited by: tobunga 2014-08-14 17:12 ] |

After last night's 2 sets at the Bali Hai (wow!), let me throw out a plug for tonight's Ìxthauele set on the main stage. There are a ton of great acts playing this weekend so it can be hard to catch them all. But if you're here at Oasis and really enjoy your exotica get down there and see 'em this evening. Kevin |

I'm so missing everyone. Next year, for sure I'm there at the Oasis, come hell or high water. I'm going to drown my sorrows tonight by hitting up the Tonga Hut and Kahuna Tiki. I'm at the Oasis vicariously through the pictures that are being posted. |

Did anyone take video of King Kukulele's Tiki Tot Tour when he went through the restaurant? My mom and I were at the table that became the focus of his talk for a while. While my mom loves Denny and greatly admires his way with kids, she is not as tolerant of children so the expression on her face as she was surrounded by seemingly thousands of screaming rugrats was priceless. The kids and the King were actually fine but she was expecting the worst! |

I just wanted to say thank you to Otto, Baby-Doe, and everyone else involved in making Tiki Oasis the epic event, that it is. It was my first year in attendance, and know it'll be an annual event from here on out. To everyone who stopped by my booth at the car show to say hi, just browse, or purchase one of my ceramic pieces, thank you very much. Your kind words and support mean a lot and make me want to get right back in the studio. Even with vending on Saturday and Sunday, I got to see more live music and party with great friends, than I've gotten to in a long time. See you next year Tiki-O! If you missed out, there's a few pictures linked below. Also a great slideshow in LA Weekly on-line. |

Thanks so much to all the people who put in the work it takes to pull off such a fantastic event! I love sensory over-load and it does not get much better than this. The bands were cool with Ixtahuele being one of the best I have seen in a long time, the R.I.P. Tides are always fun and the Three Somes from Serbia were also entertaining. Special thanks go to Suze for being the first person of the event to purchase a piece from me (again), Brett from San Diego that bought "Airic" and then loaded him in a cab for the ride home, and many mucho mahalos go to Jason Lee and Michelle for taking "Juan and Atu" home and helping me with my journey back to Oregon. Looking forward to next year's space themed extravaganza! [ Edited by: cy 2014-08-20 17:21 ] |

I can't say thank you enough to Otto, Baby Doe, the Tiki Oasis volunteers, the entertainers, educators, the artists, and to my fellow attendees. Everyone puts so much into making Tiki Oasis what it is. It's pretty rare to look forward to something all year (every year) and have it exceed expectations each time. It's time to start digging through the digital camera and let loose the highlights. :) Mahalo, Kevin |

So many great people, and it was fun meeting lots of people from here and Instagram. Gotta start saving my clams for more awesome stuff next year! |

What a great Tiki Oasis! Favorite show? Mine was Midnight Bulesque off course. Best class, Violetta Beretta teaching Hawaiian dance on the lanai, El Vez was the best music, best room party "10 House",safe house in Saigon,1965. I'll try to set up a Tiki Oasis 2014 album on a hosting site and share it here since I can't upload photos to TC any longer with resizing each one. Here is the message when I try to upload |
