As The Seasons Change and The Weather Warms Up We will return to Koko Beach Park...Woohoo!

I hope we get to see many photos of the event each time you have one. I really enjoy them when we can't be there. Wendy

BIG NEWS!!! Hot Off the Coconut Wire....... Jay Strongman, author of the just-released Ritual of the Savage novel will be signing copies of his book available at the Original International Tiki Market Place March 5th at the Garden Grove Elks Lodge!

Here's a blurb about the book and Jay: "Jay's first novel "Ritual Of The Savage" is being published in November of 2015 by Hungry Eye Books and was inspired by rainy afternoons as a child spent watching Bogart films on TV, reading Raymond Chandler, Ray Bradbury and Jonathan Latimer novels as a teenager and drinking rum cocktails in Tiki Bars as an adult in 1990s California."

and

"Jay Strongman is a renowned international DJ and a long-time writer on popular and underground culture. Like many of his generation growing up in 1960's and 70's Britain, Jay was heavily influenced by the American TV shows , movies and music that permeated British culture at the time.

That love of 20th Century Americana led him to starting London's first neo-rockabilly clothing store, "Rock-A-Cha", in 1979 and fronting a rockabilly band called The El-Trains a year or so later. A couple of years later he started DJ'ing in London and his pioneering mix of music (incorporating hip-hop, rockabilly, house, punk, disco and soul) led to him becoming one of the first DJs-as-popstars, working on radio and in nightclubs around the world.

Besides his thirty-plus year career as a DJ, Jay has also been a regular writer on music and fashion for such publications as The Face magazine, the London Sunday Times, i-D Magazine, Vogue and the NME. He has written two art books on popular culture: "Tiki Mugs - Cult Artifacts of Polynesian Pop" (2009 Korero Books) which spent seven weeks at Number One in the Popular Culture category on Amazon.com, and the highly acclaimed "Steampunk - The Art of Victorian Futurism" (2011 Korero Books) which is now on its third printing."

Stay tuned for more exciting news soon!!!

WooHoo! More Breaking News! Hot Off the Coconut Wire....The Original International Tiki Market Place is honored to announce the 2nd author/artist to do a book signing on March 5th at the Garden Grove Elks Lodge!!!

Miss Fluff, Claudette Barjoud will bring her new book "Mermaids" to sell and personally sign for guests and fans.

GROG love Claudette.

An inquiry was made to me if I had any weapons left as had been seen at a previous show.
Not all are presently available, but still a few examples to choose from. Thanks for the interest !!

T

Tom, your craftsmanship is amazing. I have four of your above pieces of art plus a few others, including my favorite one.


Mahalo,

Only a week to go and I'm eagerly anticipating my book signing at the Original International TIKI Market Place on March 5th. Looking forward to catching up with old faces and hopefully seeing lots of new ones too. Just wanted to let people know that the signed copies of my novel will be selling for $10 - which seems a nice round, uncluttered number. Unsigned copies will be going for $20 - NO - just kidding, they'll be $10 too!

Only 1 More Week...WooHoo!!

The place is very fun, and the food is not-very-authentic "Mexican" food that is so good even my Mexican co-workers go there a lot and like it. The garlic sauce for the tacos is very interesting and good, and the chili rellenos are fabulous.

This is going to be a great market place. I really love the vibe at the Elks club in Garden Grove. (Any place where people are drinking at 8 in the morning is alright in my book.) Plus, the smoking menehunes and I believe, Uncle Owen, will be performing. Real Hawaiian music from the golden age of hapa haole, ONLY at the original tiki market place!

Attention Tiki Enthusiasts and Collectors!!! This Saturday, March 5th the International Tiki Market Place will be at the Garden Grove Elks Lodge. There will be almost everything there to get your tiki freak on! Artists, Carvers, Vendors of all things "tiki", LIVE Hawaiian music and more! (Even an "Early Bird Raffle" to win some great items donated by our wonderful artists!) Come early to get the goods!!! Your friends will be there!

Great time once again! Thank you to Chris, Karen and everyone where was there to shop and have a great time. Can't wait till next month!

I got there later then I had planned so a lot had already gotten out the door. I was thrilled that GoTiki still had this Marwal inspired mug that my wife CeCe wanted.
I think that GoTiki is one of the most underrated artist on the tiki scene today.
