MM maid Marion Member glendale Joined: Aug 19, 2007 Posts: 14	MM maid Marion Posted posted on Sat, Dec 27, 2008 9:48 AM I have been in touch with Douglas Nason reg. January 4th. It's the last day of the beautiful exhibit at the Forest Lawn Semetary. Please come to the closing party on the 4th at 3 pm and join Doug for a walk through the exhibit. Doug is a truly amazing and interesting person and if you havn't met him I highly recommend to join him. Doug asked me to get in touch with Damon's restaurant. We are hoping to reserve the backroom for drinks and dinner. Please let me know if you would like to join for dinner so I can make arrangements with Damon's. Here is the e-mail invitation that I received from Doug to pass on to all Tiki central friends: "The In Search of Tiki exhibition will close on Sunday January 4th. This exhibition will close with an informal walk-through presentation with curators Douglas Nason and Jeff Fox at 3 PM. Participating artists and other tiki aficionados' are encouraged to attend and share their thoughts on their work and the tiki art movement. When the museum doors close at 5 PM, we will move on to the famous Polynesian themed Damon’s Steakhouse and celebrate with further discussion and fun! Dinner and drinks are on your own" I hope to see you all on the 4th. Please bring your friends and family. [ Edited by: maid Marion 2008-12-27 09:49 ]

A atomikitty Tiki Socialite San Fransisco, now LA! Joined: Apr 04, 2005 Posts: 318	A atomikitty Posted posted on Thu, Jan 1, 2009 3:47 PM Yay! Happy New Year everybody!!!! :) Really looking forward to this last run through of a fantastic show! I was so honored to be included in the line up, and I am really looking forward to the walk through with Doug Nason. His collection and photographs are just astounding. A big Mahalo to Mr. Nason, Jeff Fox and Forest Lawn for welcoming and sharing with the Tiki Ohana! So. . . 3pm walk through for sure. . . . The only thing I am confused about is that there seems to be one group organizing a brunch at Damon's before the walk through, and another group organizing dinner/drinks AFTER the walk through. . . Can we get some consensus here? Don't get me wrong, I love Damon's, but twice in one day and I won't fit into any of my vintage tiki dresses! :wink: What say you all? . . . .

YES WE CAN! YES WE CAN!
MM maid Marion Member glendale Joined: Aug 19, 2007 Posts: 14	MM maid Marion Posted posted on Thu, Jan 1, 2009 10:45 PM Aloha and Happy New Year!!!! yes Suzy it might be a little confusing with the Damon's plan. The original plan was to meet for Brunch and than go to the Exhibit. Douglas Nason suggested to meet at Damon's after the closing of the Exhibit. {approx. 5.30pm}. He is going to be there and I reserved the backroom. It's going to be a great chance to meet him and get to know him and to have a yummy mai tai. The food is great as well. You could still have Brunch at Damon's. They actually have a Mai Tai brunch. Only Douglas Nason is not going to be there for Brunch. The exhibit is also open all day, so you can get there much earlier and really spend a lot of time. {exhibit is FREE and there is lots of free parking}. The view from the Museum is also amazing. I live on the backside of the semetary and enjoy the view every day. It has been so great to have this awsome exhibit in my backyard. I went to the exhibit several times and enjoyd all the amazing art work, like yours Suzy, and of course all the other artists. So please spread the word about this closing party and I'll see you all latest at 3 pm at the Museum and at Damon's at 5.30. Danke Marion

Rather new to the group, although I've been on this forum for a little while and have met a few people. Tryin' real hard to get more involved with tiki and exotica. Diggin' the vibe! I was at the Forest Lawn exhibit a couple months back, and can't wait to see it again with the walk-through. Haven't been to Damons in many moons, so that will be a treat as well. Rivcat (soon to be changed to a more appropriate username, once I get it set up). See you there!

Hassan "Headhunter" Patterson, Ernie Keen and did it in the reverse position. Okay... that sounded rude. What I MEANT was, we went to Damon's first, then (after tanking up on a giant slab of Damon's chocolate cake) we went up to the show. We hoped we'd see a few of you as we left, though. Wasn't that show great? More, please! I loved "Henry" the well-worn stone Moai head. Ernie says he belongs to Forest Lawn's collection, and says he was used on someone's ship as ballast! Wow! No wonder Henry's smiling now! Spending your existence as ballast is a hellish life.
