Didn't realize how much stuff I'll have for tomorry...

Here's two bird perches, one of which was the subject of the art project article in the current issue of Tiki Magazine & More! Ironically, when I made the 2nd one, a couple of months later, I had to refer to the article to remember how I did it!

GROG will be there.

GROG has been antisocial lately and life has been passing GROG by, so GROG need get out more. All work and no play, etc. etc.

Missed ya, BTD! Glad we saw you at Tikiyaki at the Brand!

Wait? What? Grog?!? The only Grog I saw on Sunday was my Navy Grog! Hope we didn't miss seeing you! (But then we saw you at Tikiyaki too, so it's all good!)

And...

A HUGE MAHALO to everyone who came out for the event!

We had:
Great work in the Art Show!
Awesome Vendors!
A big turn out of Bastards for the Biggest Bastard Photo Shoot Ever!
And lots and lots of people coming out to support the event!

Thank you, MAHALO, Thank you EVERYONE who was there!!!

Once again, the parking lot sale at The Tonga Hut was a Hollywood sucess !! An afternoon of music, food, drinks, and lots of fun with like-minded Tiki Peeps.
Eric puts on a great show and runs it with the utmost style and grace. Dottie and I look forward to being invited back again for any future shows. Mahalo !!

What a gathering of the Bastards that was! The sun was bright and the horns honked on Victory Boulevard as the group assembled for the photo by Tom D Kline. A sight to behold (also a great time to get a drink at the bar with NO lines, imagine that!)

Southern California is the place to live for tiki events. What a great photo. Wendy

Sorry I couldn't be there Eric. I will for sure try to make it next time! Glad to see the large turnout! Great photos!
