Can’t believe I had to go all the way to NY to find another pair of coconuts! well, better late then never... here is the tiki-round up of the trip to NY.... Monday Night: Finally reunited with the Fisherman and my tikis #53&54 at Otto‘s Shrunken Head!! Thanks Inky! for posting the great pics. Thursday Night: Another reunion! Great to see tiki #45 “Hang Good&Plenty” again. My first time seeing Waikiki Wally’s... and there was #45 behind the bar over seeing the drink allotments.... I designed him to hold a coconut or assorted fruits in his hands, but that night he held a tiki mug! Nice! Ron is the reason for the trip to NYC. He had a booth at the world famous Toy Fair Convention. Seeing as a large part of my income is sculpting toys, I volunteered to work his booth with him and work the crowd.... Tiki was not just at our booth!! Check it out!!! Barbie watch your ass! and I found this pair of unsigned tikis at a plush toy booth up stairs. One even had a C’AL bark turban/crown and a familiar face. It was sunny and nice the whole week. A fitting end, A Bamboo Bar!! in the Jet Blue terminal saw Ron and I off to a cold and rainy California. The bar sported many “real” preserved palms and hand tied Black Bamboo lettering on the signage........ Tiki Times in NYC! Nice! [ Edited by: crazy al on 2004-02-24 00:36 ] |

Very cool, Crazy Al! Glad you had a chance to visit your NYC Tikis and some members of the Big Apple Ohana in the "city that never sleeps." New York will never be the same! Sleep well my friend. |
