Aw, you're having the parking lot sale on my birthday?
and the Hula Girls playing there for the first time?
Yay!

:)

Yay! So excited about this event! Thanks Jeremy and Ernie for organizing, should be a smashing event! Should have some new tiki wares completed in time... and the Hula Girls! Wow! Gonna be FUN!

Pretty sure the Hula Girls consists of all dudes! Thats some false advertising! We like wahines in skirts ya hulabilly punks!

I'm glad they have tires around the telephone poles in their parking lot.

SHWEET

This sounds like an awesome event.
The Captain shall be there!

I'm so there!

Artists/vendors---If you're interested in vending, send GROG a PM.

HGs are super excited to be doing this gig! It's gonna be wild!!!

And just because GROG believe in truth in advertising---THE HULA GIRLS are not girls at all, and they don't hula. But, they are a fantastic band and you guys will really enjoy them. The Tonga Hut is really glad to have them and look forward to seeing and hearing them perform.

No real girls at this sale... just guys?

No , no. Only in the band. We'll have some real girls at the event. We'll even have some vending and mixing drinks in the bar.

Are the owners next to the Tonga Hut gonna let us use their parking lot? It's a shame for that big space to go to waste.

Not the ones West of the bar.

There aren't any girls in the Hula Girls?? Coulda fooled me. Hahahahahaaa....Suckers.
Great band. I'll stake my reputation on it.

BTD, I agree! It's not like they are open for business. And it's a parking lot, it's not like we are going trash it....Bad Karma on their part -- may their businesses shrivel like a raisin.

We've still got places for vendors, so if you're interested in vending, pm GROG. GROG still waiting to hear back from some of you GROG already contacted, and there are several that are at the "Let me check my schedule and get back to you" stage.

Had to bump this thread up before it got TOO BURIED.(and it happens FAST!)

The Tonga Hut art show with The Hula Girls performing is only 18 days away, so mark your calendars.

May the Tiki Gods smile on GROG and The Tonga Hut for bringing us all together for another sure-to-be great event!
And outside in the daytime no less! . . . not sure how many of us have seen each other in the full light of day. . . should be interesting. :wink:

I've been MIA lately, and I am really looking forward to coming out of hiding to spend time with friends, AND pedal some great to wares (and wears) !
I should have NEW Atomikitty art prints and merch, as well as a collection of KILLER vintage Hawaiian threads!

are the vendors going to be inside or outside, or both?
seems like a huge list of people you have there.
not that its a bad thing.

Jeff(btd)

Vendors in the parking lot outside. May have some artists inside. We haven't done a parking lot sale before, so we're making it up as we go. We were hoping to get about 20 artist/vendors, so we've still got room for more.

ok thanks,

bring a hat or get sunscreen spf lead then Grog,
don't want to see you with a burnt noggin.

Jeff(btd)

Sorry no pic but here is a teaser of what we will have. Some Tiki Farm mugs, newer and vintage Hawaiian shirts (I will have few 2x 3x and even a couple of 4x), a set of Haywood Wakefield tables (end and coffee table). Anyone need a portable bar? I will have at least one. The bar is custom made for use at your fav event. Need some swank threads to wear to TO10 ? Be sure to check out our custom Tiki Tux jackets. We will have a few on site and will take orders as well. More stuff to be added as I dig it out on the garage.

I will try to get some pics up in the next couple of days.

The shopping cart is getting full!

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Nice flier, Bowana Dave.

Got ceramics cooking in the kiln right now.
