For any of you who have forgotten to mark your calendars, the Tonga Hut art show is NEXT weekend, September 29.

GROG still waiting for Jeff BigTikiDude to post his requesite " Sorry I can't make it because I will be at (insert surf band name here)."

Grog,
actually I will be there.
and there is a surf band playing, but its not a band that I am crazy about.
and they are playing way up in the Malibu Hills at a winery(yuk).

I'm still waiting for an excuse from you as to why you didn't come to
Tiki Tena's Surf/Luau with Kirby.
ask him about it, you missed a great one, and surf bands
Outterwave and The Ghastly Ones.

ROFL!
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: THAT'S A FANTASTIC FLYER!

Now that's just lazy. . .

Seeing as my printer flaked out on me, I will only have old, tired, run down tiki artwork at the Tonga Hut! I mean, these pieces are almost 2 or 3 months old! Damn! Actually, if you weren't at the Big ol Tiki Bash it's all new! Oh well, I will debut some pieces at the NEXT art show (that is if I don't get all drunk and dance sloppy and embarrass the host!) Hmmmmmmm.......seeing as that is a given, this may be my only show at the Tonga Hut!

I just sent out a massive invite to all the Tiki Fans and Tonga Hut supporters on myspace! Woo Hoo!

Here's the latest from Atomikitty and the Coconut Monkey Project:

For all of you who are sick of seeing paintings of Coconut Monkeys, (weirdos) I will have TWO NEW non-monkey paintings to premier at the Tonga Hut Art Show.

For all of you who are NOT sick of paintings of Coconut Monkeys, (the hep, cool kids) I will have the originals on display and for sale, as well as a fresh batch of lovingly hand framed prints ready to take home with you!

Thanks for all the drink suggestions for the 'Little Lost Drinky' . . .I'm feeling inspired. . . :wink:

SEE YOU SATURDAY!!!!

Why don't you post those 2 new ones Suzy?
WOW! This show is GONNA BE GREAT!
I may even wear a suit! :wink:
Well, this derned IMAGE UPLOAD glitch is frustratin! So i'm gonna try and post something here...
JUST FOR THIS SHOW i decided to do a little special something for all you Mug Aficionados
(or TikiSnobs-as they're calling them lately :D)
For my "Talking Palms and Pineapple Kings" exhibit last year,
Holden was gracious enough to donate some open line tiki mugs
to give to the patrons when they purchased some art. He was
even kind enough to allow me to design a special decal
commemorating the show on the backs!
They were originally offered in a 4-pack
and my friend Marcus Pizzuti sculpted them!
I just decorated em! Here they are! (I'm only showing the front of them for now
until image upload is fixed...then you can see the roundabout on my art thread..
This first one is named "the Watcher"

this second one is called "the Guardian"

This one is "Keeper of the Flame"

and this last one is named "the Mystic"

A Moai/Marquesan/Ku/and Fisherman God all transformed (for better or worse)
and ready for your bulging eyes to drink in!
Seeing as this will be a very Special Evening (Special, like cool,not "special ed")
I will have these and mug prints at a SPECIAL TONGA NIGHT price!
ALSO...to REALLY BLOW YER FACE OFF! I'll be bringing my painting in progress
"the King of Cannibal Island" for the TikiMagazine Art Show!
A little Sneak Peek of the show,but not really, cause it's only half done!

:D THREE MORE DAYS! :D

Kool Kinny Kan't wait!

Are you gonna wrap these in plastic and charge $999 each?

Heck NAH! they're MUCH MUCH less expensive than that!
I think the plastic would have added an extra $950 or so to the price,so
i decided just to have as is....Danged expensive petroleum products!!
NEW FLYER!

It's actually 7-midnight,but i figured all these Doldrums would want to wrap it up around 10:30-11...

Hey!! Chongolio injecting a little humor in the least humorous Tonga Hut thread to date. Thanks dude!

Actually, if you go though the thread from the beginning, there were some stabs at humor, just nothing that took off and everybody ran with. The jokes are just hanging there-----like wallpaper.

That's because Suburban Pagan captured the ESSENCE of Kinny in that portrait.

Great to see some of the artists coming out of the shadows! Johnny Velour and Diablo, the stuff looks amazing!

Fer the rest a ya mooks complianing that this thread isn't 'Wild and Crazy' enough, here ya go.

These guys are totally going to the show.

You should too if you are cool.

The lethal batches of the LITTLE LOST DRINKY are in the mix!
Just soaking the sugarcubes in acid right now. . .Kinny's art will look AWESOME after a few of these! :wink:

I was inspired by your great suggestions, and the final recipe of the LITTLE LOST DRINKY is a tikified version of a lovely little drink commonly known as 'Bong Water.' :)
YUM!

SEE YOU ALL SATURDAY!!!!

Oh, and to sweeten the deal. . .

I will buy a LITTLE LOST DRINKY for anyone brave enough to wear plaid pants and a flowered shirt to the show.

Seriously.

Do it.

A recent hypothesis by Andrew C. Gallup and Gordon Gallup of the University of Albany states that yawning may be a means to keep the brain cool. Mammalian brains operate best when they are cool. In an experiment, he showed several groups of people videos of other people yawning. When the subjects held heat packs up to their heads while viewing the videos, they yawned often. But when they held cold packs up to their heads or breathed through their noses (another means of brain cooling), they did not yawn at all. [5] [6]

YAWN!
Come on down for the Mass Suicide at the Tonga Hut tomorrow night....

Glad to see Danny and Johnnie finally came out of hibernation!
This is gonna be one great show.....
YAWN
....gotta keep cool!
YAWN!
