I am still talking to people about coming to it, and being involved.
But I wanted to Officially announce when it will be.

Later that night.
The Madeira from Mid west, Pollo Del Mar from Nor. Cal., Insect Surfers and Detonators are playing 8 pm till Midnight.

also
On Sun. Aug 3rd at the Huntington Beach Pier, 11 am to 5 pm will be.
The Fabulous Nomads, The Relix, Aquasonics from Colorado, Pollo Del Mar,
The Madeira , and The Surftones, Feat. Matt Q from Reventlos, and Kerry Chester ex of DD's 80s band.

I Figured it would be best to announce it asap, as I know the sooner the better, for arranging for airfare and sleeping and car accommodations.

There is also a San Diego show with Pollo Del Mar,Madeira,Secret Samurai, and Zombie Surf Camp, on the Fri. nite. Aug 1st. If anybody would like to go down there to get an early start on the Reverb overdose weekend.

Let me know if you have any questions,

Will Otto be there?

GROG wish GROG could go to this, but there's a Tiki art show at the Tonga Hut that night and GROG have to be there early to assign booths to artists and help set up.

Spermy,
yes Otto Von Jon Paul will be there.selling the New Tiki Magazine, even before the Tonga Hut art show, :wink:

Grog, you could go to this from Noon to 2 pm to see the tiki vendors that will be there,
but, you'd have to hear Kristena(Tiki Tena) and Clint Beachwood djing surf tune
in the back ground, and you'd probably melt or catch on fire, as its your kryptonite, to you. so I understand if you stay away.

But how, why were you at the Purple Orchid that one time, while surf bands were playing, and you didn't seem bothered by it.

I wonder if you listen to Disco or something like that when your home alone?
will the world ever know?

Nope nope and nope.

don't know the name, but did he work for Disney in the 50's and 60's?
it looks familiar to some of the images they had in Tomorrowland back then.

Jeff(bigtikidude)

What happened to Bali Hi Jinks??

What is the meaning of life?

"...don't know the name, but did he work for Disney in the 50's and 60's?"

Nope, and if nobody comes even close I'll give out some hints to you knuckleheads.

Frida Kahlo?

if we get the answer right, what do we win?
and will it be awarded to us at this tiki art show?

I heard it changed its name to some kind of non tiki Hawiian family type thing.
:wink:

Jeff(bigtikidude)

oh by the way,
Not only will JonPaul be selling the new tiki magazine,
he will be playing bass with the Boardwalkers, AND the Insect Surfers that day.

He will also be part of a super group of surf people (Jam)
also in the Jam will be Ran(aka Kick the Reverb)inventor of the Reverb Crash drink) Norm, the drummer of the Ghastly Ones, who is playing at Tiki oasis, this year. and Danny(aka Shecky Sheckles of the Meshuggah Beach party)
who plays every so often at the Forbidden Island bar in Alameda(Nor. Cal.)

this is going to be worth seeing alone.

Jeff(bigtikidude)

[ Edited by: bigtikidude 2008-07-29 23:51 ]

I'm confused, I thought Paul Weller was in The Jam? :-? And by worth seeing alone, do you mean all by yourself?

"if we get the answer right, what do we win?

It doesn't matter, cause obviously you guys don't know who did the painting!!!!!

Should I move the contest to GROG's Tonga Hut thread????

Well, being that this thread is currently getting an average of 43 views a day (mostly from Bigtikidude), and the Tonga Hut thread is getting an average of 267 views a day, there's a better chance that more people will actually see your contest on the Tonga Hut thread. Plus, you'd be helping promote some of your fellow Tiki artists, rather than bumping up a music event that only a handful of people are interested in.

Richard Powers

funny I always thought musicians were considered artists too.
at least I do.
I can live without art,
I can't live without music.
but thats just me,
I'd rather see a band, than go buy a mug.

Jeff(bigtikidude)

"Richard Powers"

Bowana TAKES IT!

The guy is a genius!

Come git yer mug!

by the way, for what its worth,
this show is noon to 7 pm,
so you can do this and the art show at the Tonga Hut.
:wink:

no conflict at all if your a fast driver.

GROG never said musicians weren't artists. GROG said he would be helping promote his fellow Tiki artists.

GROG was a musician in early part of GROG life. GROG even perform in Carnegie Hall. GROG know musicians are artists.
And yes, you could make it to both events--thank you BTD.

"GROG never said musicians weren't artists.... blah blah etc..."

Can you two kiss and make up now?
