More photo's sent to me!!!!!! I guess next time I wouldn't pay for a photographer.









Great Weekend, Great Art Show
It was my FIRST TIME in Palm Springs, and I absolutely fell in love.
MUCHO MAHALO to Rory, M Modern Gallery, The Caliente Tropics, The Incredible Bands and all the Talented Artists, Vendors and Tiki Fans!
It's all been said, so here's some pics~ENJOY! :drink:

We arrive at Ruby Montana's Coral Sands and are greeted by the guard dog, Lola.

Adam at the Coral Sands

Straight to the M Modern Gallery for their 5th anniversary Tiki Art Show! Congrats Jay and M Modern!
Thank you so much for having me in the show!

Crazy Al's amazing new Trader Vic's Tiki stuns all art patrons and tiki fans as they enter!

The wall of Big Eyes and Monkey Art!




Adam and Squid in their retina burning tiki shirts. :)

Derek Yaniger is my hero and a swell guy to boot!
What a great exhibition of his work . . .


One more look at Tiki Al's latest masterpiece (and personal Mai Tai guardian!)

It was INCREDIBLY WINDY leaving the M Modern, so we staged and impromptu photo shoot~Cheese-tastic!

Friday night back at the Caliente. Good times at the bar.
The lovely Tiki Kiniki and Tiki Ray hang out with my favorite Tiki Ray Carving 'The Widower'

Cheesy Photo shoot 2! Pulp Fiction Hotel fun back at the Coral Sands.
We stayed in the 'Yiddish Cowgirl' suite.

Houses that I dream of living in. . .
The architecture is so amazing and inspiring!




Vendors and Bands at the Caliente.
Nick, GROG and Adam at the Tiki Magazine booth (A little Menehune seems to have opened the Tiki Mag to my article!) :wink:

Back at the Coral Sands, swimming at sunset.



(Adam hates this photo-but I think it's ham and cheese goodness!) :wink:

Paradise. . .

Martini Kings on the Lanai. . .a perfect Sunday
Their version of Take 5 was amazing-what a bunch of talented kats. . .

Checking out of the Coral Sands. . . thanks Ruby Montana for a wonderful stay! We'll be back! :)

Wish I'd taken more pics of all the friends we spent this amazing tiki weekend with, but we were all too busy having fun! :drink: :)

That doesnt look like a suit! No wonder Grog only work on cartoon show.

Cartoons are just puppets

I was gonna Say Careful what you Say JT,
Adam and Grog will be all over yer ass.
:wink:

Jeff(bigtikidude)

Great pictures Adam!

Sunday anything but a day of rest.

Hey there, did anyone pick up my beach towel I left in the outside bar? it's multi-colored & left for home with out it Sunday after the Martini Kings played... I miss it :(

Ask Tiki Ray!
He's a THIEF!
He probably stole your Shower Curtain too!
:lol:

R

Geez Kel, sounds like the work of shower curtain and towel gnomes...

How'd you manage to lose your shower curtain anyhow? o_O

Now I understand why THE LITTLE BABY JESUS prevented me from going to Palm Springs.

Did the Caliente double-book a Bear & Latex Convention or something? :P

Tiki Trav stopped by the shop and told me it was so hot out there he was actually sweating ... UNDERWATER!

Assuming "sweating" isn't Aussie slang for urinating, that's too damn hot for me, man. I spend a dozen years in the New Mexico desert and that was enough for me.

Thanks for posting these great pix so I can enjoy them and my cool ocean breeze at the same time!

Mission Beach is the place for me.
Shore livin' is the life for me.
Sea spreadin' out so far and wide
Keep Palm Springs, just give me that ocean side!

Peep's of Wildsville,
I just received another 150 photo's from my photographer Larry. Are we overexposed or what?
Here is just a taste of what we have!!!!!!!!!!!






This should wet your whistle for now!!!!!!! Wait til you see the pictures at the gallery!!!!!!!

Hey thanks to all who shared pictures. I feel like I didn't get to hang out enough and meet people what with being tied to either our booth or the kid all weekend (not that I am complaining or anything...)

I didnt take your towel . I did take Rory's glasses as collateral for payment . Hes paid in full so now I will ship them back to him . Im not a THIEF !!!!! Im not, Im not, IM NOT !!!!!!!!

T

Can't trust the 'tiki crowd'
Last time it was a simple washcloth now there up to towels.
What's next?

T

Okay , okay . I took a swizzle stick from Trader Vics when the bartender wasnt looking . I confess to you all . :( Forgive me .

Since this seems to be a confessional of sorts, i stole the extra roll of toilet paper from the Tropics but handed it to my wife on the way out and made her carry it in shame to the car. P.S. Its on our roll as we speak and its a little rough on the okole.

Peep's of Wildsville,
We have added a Blog section to Tiki-Caliente.com because of the amount of emails and comment sent to Wildsville-Man.com. Allot of the e-mails and comments are so funny I think they would be better for the public to read and discuss. Also with the blog it will be easier for communication of Tiki-Caliente news and updates and some of the SPIN-OFF's that are planed for the future.

If you get a chance stop by and leave a comment or question........Thanks

Rory
(A.K.A. Wildsville-Man)

Apocalypse Tiki!
Classic episode!
had me on the edge of my seat!
Go check it out
http://www.tikibartv.com
it's funnier watching the episodes after you've met them!
thanks Kids!
and thanks again Rory!

Finally discovered: The origins of Wildsville Man!

After last week's discovery of an unknown tribe in the Amazon, researcher J. Berry has discovered filmic evidence of an island ancestor that evidently must be the forefather of Wildsville Man:

That Video is about my Great Grandaddy. We have allot of tree-huggers in this family.
I had to become a young Republican to be a rebel in the Wildsville Family Bud. Keep an eye on the Tiki-Caliente Blog for some cool updates and I look forward to seeing some of you at the DVA Tiki show in Chicago on June 21st.

Just thought back on this event and it made me smile.

Wildsville Man, just tagged you and a dozen more on Facebook,
could have been a hundred tags on Stacey's Happy Chi Jewelry of Doug's Tiki Caliente painting. Dig this painting, it has a hundred stories. Who has the original?

Caliente Tropics, The Cellar, Reef Bar, Tiki Caliente!
Man, what a cool weekend that was! (in spite of a little B rum at times)

32 pages of posts on this thread, have to add a TC tag about that too.
Thanks Wildsville
Waiting for II
