I think it was in the Tiki O-4 vending contract that we could not share the spaces. Yes, we actually had to sign contracts this year. You might want to e-mail Otto and see if there is a space avail for a table. The spaces aren't all that big but it all works. I'm sure he'll cram you in somewhere. |

Last year @ Tiki O III I made the mistake of showing up with plastic, only to be turned away by most vendors. This year I'm bringin' cold, hard cash (in unmarked, small denominations...of course). |

Monkey, why did you change your post??? I thought it was a legit post and answer. It's only 40$ a day to vend. (2 night(day) minimum) (Did anyone else see what he posted or have I lost my mind!!!?? I need to quote for now on) |

And, make sure you get out to the Lanai early on Vending days cause people scamble for the stuff. Sold half our stuff last year before we could even set up! It was a mad house! Then we chilled with the "Wrecks" back under the Bamboo!! Hey Ship!? Same bamboo corner? Same Bamboo time? Is Judy aka Bamboo2U coming this year to feed and intoxicate us?? |

Vending Hours have been EXTENDED this year! Saturday 11-6pm Sunday 11-4pm (but not all vendors will do Sunday - you might want to ask them if you are interested in coming back the next day to make a purchase!) There are no more vending tables available. Sorry! We have over 25 vendors this year so that is a full house. Sooo cool! I can't wait to break open my piggy bank and go hog crazy! We will be sending this info out at later dates but I wanted to remind folks that NO vending should take place in any of the Caliente Tropics rooms. We feel that it really takes away from the special marketplace and it isn't really fair to vendors who have paid money to have a vending space. Please be respectful of this. For those vending - you should have recieved a confirmation e-mail from Otto. If you have not gotten this please e-mail him a.s.a.p. with the subject: Tiki Oasis Vendor Confirmation Cheers! |

THINK about it. The "Secret Tiki Oasis Vending Police" are onto you!! This is what I get out of the above. He sells out of his room so, that's minus 80.00 for vending space that everyone else who is vending, pays. Then he sells 25 shirts at 20.00 each. That's 500.00. So, That's 500.00 that won't be spent on the vendors' area. Catch my drift?? So, let's say you aka vendor rents a space, for 80.00, and you sell 80.00 worth of stuff. You say, well, I broke even. Well, actually, you would've been ahead 16.67 (split between all the vendors if that 500.00 were to be spent in the VENDORS AREA). And Sixteen Dollars and Sixty Seven Cents would be at least 2 killer cocktails at the REEF for all YOUR HARD WORK. So, while we all sit outside he sits in A/C and makes 500.00 or 16.67 out of our pockets! The secret "vending police" will be watching!!!! |

I have decided to pull back from vending and help Otto w/the running the vendor area as it's become a pretty major task! I am "your official vendor area" supervisor so as to take some of the heat off of Otto. Once a tiki grunt, always... blah blah. Anyways, I've got 12 new products that I am launching and to organize & supervise the vendor area for Otto (I already promised to do so some time ago) and launch my products... no way that's gonna happen together! Ultimately, the bottom line... |

We will be offering an assortment of TikiFarm mugs at the M Modern Gallery that weekend as we always do. We will also have some of the mugs available from the "It's All About the Tiki" show we did with Holden in late November. Please remember to vistit the opening of our "I Dream of Tiki" show on Saturday May 8th from 3 - 6 pm. We timed this specifically to limit the impact on the rest of the Tiki Oasis events scheduled for that evening. "I Dream of Tiki" is a group Tiki show featuring work from the likes of Shag, Mark Ryden, Bosko, Bamboo Ben, Crazy Al, Joe and Donella Vitale, Drew Brophy and many other artists from the fine art world you have no doubt heard of. Please look for our upcoming post in this section within the next few days for further details on the show. M Modern Gallery is a proud sponsor of the Tiki Oasis IV. Everybody please drive safe! |

YES! Tiki News will be selling a LIMITED EDITION Tiki Oasis IV Tiki Mug created by MunkTiki. We will only sell these for limited time at the event due to not having the man-power to sell them all weekend. Friday night after the bands from 10-11pm (hey we are the organizers -- we can vend before others!) and Saturday afternoon from 11:30-3:30 at the side gate. Look for a very small Tiki News table. For those who wanted to vend out of a room here are my suggestions:
Selling out of your Tropics rooms is very naughty! Those who do this will be spanked (maybe by Bamboo Ben?!)! XOXO Baby Doe |

Last year I only offered candles but this year I have many new things! Candle holders, soaps, necklaces, desktop statues. I specialize in Tiki knick-knack! I forgot! I'm bringing some stained glass too! Very original stuff! I design them and my mom, who gave me her original late fifties tiki necklace, is putting them toghether for me! The first one looks fantastic! You'll see it at the Oasis! :) [ Edited by: suburbanpagan on 2004-05-02 03:01 ] |

it's kinda funny not vending. kinda weird but being in the "trenches of tiki commerce" means that I must launch my molds and new production around the gift industry tradeshow season... did i mention that it's kinda weird? well, fellow tiki freakies, hang tight for a mid-June launch that has cost me a lot of sleep. hang tight and Frankentikiflamemanchuinbastardgiantchimeneahulagobletedonlygirlgoddesstikimugdpocketkahunauhohtongomugomanytikisgiantmoaidbigjokerwaynebigmokewaynefezheadedapecopperscareyblownglasstikisheyifumakeitalloneworditstretchesthepageoutwayfartootherightcooool! I think there's about 15 new products in all - about 8 new glazes, 5-6 retirees and all previously glazed items that made it through the ranks are changing their skins to come to you in funky new hues. I like that I can do this stuff... tiki make me happy!!!! ps - you ain't seen nuttin' yet w/my good bro Benno's bars for the show... they're rockin'! pps - I may not be vendin' but I'll definitely have some one-of-a-kinds for the brethern to "imbibe from" but in limited supply and not for the eBayer's ... holy wrong glaze battikiman factory production superviser dude yer ass is grass can't sell 'em now i've gotta give 'em away!

It's actually a relief (for my wallet) that Tiki Farm is not debuting all their new products at this event because I know I could not resist buying one of everything. Can't wait to see the new designs though! This is really an amazing lineup of vendors! So many great artists! :) ...but such a small tiki budget, damn. :( Oh, and my wife would like to thank all the vendors for not taking plastic for payment. She thinks that I cannot be trusted at an event like this with a loose credit card...she's right. :wink: ModMana :drink: |
