I'm new here and I'm a recent midwest transplant. I lived in San Diego, Ca all 26 years of my life and I now live in West Lafayette, IN where I'm attending Purdue University to get my PhD! Shame on me, but I never went to any events and that's pretty bad considering I lived in one of the best spots for events. I'm not anti-social I'm just new to the world and started with Tiki mugs. Anyways I'm just wondering if there are any events or good sources for mugs around this area. I saw that Chicago has had something called exotica in the past, but I can't find an upcoming version. Also, I know that DVA gallery has tiki themed art shows I'm new so, if you'd like to say "Hi" I've posted more about me in the appropriate forum :) Mahalo!

Hala Kahiki Chef Shangri-la Tiki Terrace the Sand Bar is 50's modern/tiki- ish sort of place with live music on the weekend ( no cover too) I know I'm forgetting some other places as this was just off the top of my head.I'm sure others can add to my list. Plus we have a pretty large sized group of tiki folks who like to get together often. Feel free to PM me if you'd like to be in the know about our outings. Oh by the way Hot Rod Hulu Hop will be in August There is also a rod/tiki event in Peru IL. this May This event will also carry over to the Aku tiki room. (Check out the thread for more details) Plus you just never know when something else will pop up. Cheers!

The first year for this event. We're working to make it a fun weekend and a diverse one. Lakesurfer will be coming down to sell his creations and Basement Kahuna will be coming up with me and they both will be putting on a tiki carving demonstration. We are lining up entertainment now.

I bought a couple Bubnis tiki pieces last year. DaTiki are there going to be any blank decanters for sale or will they all be custom painted?
