Not tiki, but cool : "holidays on ice" (I'll be at the cocktail reception tomorrow thursday with the artist), and he'll have an exhibition in London : "the call of Kapu" wich might be more tiki, October 28 to November 7. Sounds great for the euro shag's fan. [ Edited by: virani on 2004-10-07 15:28 ]

It was pretty cool, the paintings are really nice, even if there were no tikis. We had a little conversation with cyril (uke club de paris, album cover by shag), Sunny Buick and Shag...it was nice. We had a gift box when we left with girly letter paper, we took some pics, shag signed my "tiki art now" book Cyril took me back from SF (so did sunny)... About the London exhibition : this is going to be a tiki one (new paintings and limited prints). The opening is October 27th and 28th, 7 - 9pm and afterwards at Trailer Happiness Lounge Bar, 117 Portobello Road (9pm-12pm). RSVP : [email protected] If you come to the exhibition, you'll have a free Anejo Highball Cocktail at the Trailer happiness.

I'm on a course on the 27th, but might be able to make it down to London in time for the next evening. Do you know which gallery it's going to be at, or will it be at another Paul Smith store?

TW Trader Woody Member Tiki Manor, Forest of Bowland,UK Joined: Mar 25, 2002 Posts: 2301	TW Trader Woody Posted posted on Tue, Oct 19, 2004 5:46 AM Well, it's just way too far for me to travel just to get turned away at the door because I'm 'not on the list'. If I'd heard back from Cassie last week, I could have arranged time off, train tickets and a hotel but these aren't really things I can do at the last minute. Looks like it'll be a cool-looking show, though. Shag seems to be back to what he does best. (Tiki!) Don't forget to take your camera K-H! Trader Woody

Trader Woody Or I can always see 'em the way Shag painted em!!! I managed to get time off, transport, and a cheap and cheerful place to stay. I'll be down on thursday, so am looking forward to a damn fine evening of Tiki. How could I even think of missing such a classic show? Trader Woody

Finally a slice of Tiki Heaven has landed in the Brits' back garden! Looking forward to a damn fine evening. Trader Woody
K Kon-Hemsby Member Andover, England Joined: Sep 17, 2003 Posts: 1287	K Kon-Hemsby Posted posted on Fri, Oct 29, 2004 1:51 AM Fantastic evening at the Call of the Kapu. Shag the man, the legend was there and even more important his pictures were there. Man, I've always admired his work and his prints are gorgeous BUT seeing the original artwork was absolutely out of sight. The colours on those things just jump out at you. Apart, the gallery, had a beautiful tiki bar built by our Cheekytiki and the drinks were flowing freely all night. Then onto the fantastic Trailer Happiness for more fabulous free cocktails and conversation. It was one fantastic experience. I was too busy talking to take any pictures but I think Trader Woody took a few so hopefully he'll post thoose. Thanks SHAG, great work! [ Edited by: Kon-Hemsby on 2004-10-29 01:52 ]

WOW!! How kool was it! And as for Shag, he was great, what a very kool guy and really down to earth, he really appreciated everything that was going on and was pleased so many fans turned up. The venue was great, the bar was great and it was a great evening, its about time we got tiki things over here, we loved it! Thanks to everyone concerned, do it again SOON!
TW Trader Woody Member Tiki Manor, Forest of Bowland,UK Joined: Mar 25, 2002 Posts: 2301	TW Trader Woody Posted posted on Mon, Nov 1, 2004 2:18 PM Aye, I've a few photos to put up but Shutterfly is down as I write. Maybe later! Had an excellent night seeing my fellow Brit Tiki Centralites - always a pleasure - as well as getting a chance to have a good old chat with Shag who was a lovely chap. Great to see Cheekytiki's bar and carvings complimenting Shag's paintings and prints too. Anyway, no doubt the photos will tell the story a little better, though I was enjoying myself far too much to take good pics! Trader Woody PS - Shame not to see you there Tikiwagon, but I'm glad to see you managed to get onto Tiki Central.

Woody, you look just like a kid on Christmas morning who just got the best gift you could've ever hoped for. Classic. But I'm wondering...where the hell is your left hand and why does Shag have that strange inscrutable smile?? :wink:
