Thanks Karen and Chris for another fun day of Tiki talk, music and chance to pick up some more great Tiki treasures ( Glass fish floats, Tikis, Wall mask, and Paper items ). I've started carving some new pieces and look forward to showing them at your next International Tiki Market Place. See You Then !!!!!!

Don the Beachcomber,

You can remove me from your vendor list. I will be vending wherever Chris and Karen future endeavors take them. I appreciate all the hard work they poured into making the International Tiki Market Place such a success. I will reach out to all my friends and customers and ask them to follow Chris and Karen.


Mahalo,

TikiVato

WTF...Come on DTB at least change the name.

Karen, You and Chris are two of the most decent people in the tiki community, and there are some mighty fine folks in this sphere. CeCe and I are looking forward to seeing you guys on Sept. 5th. Best of luck, you’ve got lots of the Ohana rooting for you.
David and CeCe
Btw Don’s, I’m not as nice as DC. Why are you advertising on this thread? It is wrong! It’s not yours nor is “International Tiki Marketplace"

Wow, if this doesn't sound like a conflicting statement...

The ITMP at The Garden Grove Elks Lodge on September 5 will have The Same Vendors, The Same Entertainment, The Same Ohana Spirit, & Mai Tais Galore....Woohoo!

T

Kkocka, I think they mean that after sept. the fee will be $25. Clearly not a professional in charge of their marketing and promotions.

Splitting an event like this will damage attendance on both sides...initially. One will reign supreme, who will it be?

…Also Don’s, think about what you’re doing by spamming someone’s forum thread.

T

Man, why Don's!!!!! WHY!!!???? Doesn't seem fair. Chris and Karen put in so much time and effort building this thing from nothing.

P

Look forward to your new venue Chris and Karen. You will always have my support.

a hui hou !

Can the $10 admission be used for food/drink as before, or is it just a cover fee now?

Being unaware of developments leading to this parting of ways, we are shocked and saddened. We have sent an email directly to Don's expressing in no uncertain terms what a mistake they've made. We do not want them to have any reason to use this thread. Consider that the Tiki Community showed up in force recently at the city council meeting and helped keep them alive. So sad.
See you soon WooHoo and Soccer!
Mahalo!
tikitnt

We will not go to Don the Beachcomber's in the future. Woo Hoo and Soccer Tiki we are so happy you have found a new place and will continue on.

The joy of Marketplace was that of seeing all our friends and buying wonderful art and vintage items. It's sad to lose the building but it was so much more than that and wherever you are the fun will follow.

We hope all the Tiki Ohana will stick together on this one and follow you wherever you may go. Hugs, Wendy and Dan

as much as i like don's, i've never driven from sacramento just to go there, but i have made the trip several times to go to chris and karen's itmp. c&k, you have my full support in your new endeavor and i hope to attend again soon.

Chris and Karen's love and passion for tiki far exceeds anyone I've ever met. Their willingness to travel to the ends of the earth for events and their willingness to volunteer and support others in the tiki community is incredible.

I have, on many occasions, thought up of a cool tiki event. Those thoughts last a few moments, I consider the work involved, then say to myself "no way in hell".

Then show up to the Marketplace to vend and see I Chris busting his ass. I know he has been then before the sun rose. I know he and Karen have had to deal with emails, vendors and DtB..... and I know I am right to say "no way in hell".

There is no way I can put on an event like that. There is no way I have the dedication and passion to do what Chris and Karen do.

I am so thankful that they put on an event that brings the tiki community together on a consistent basis, one that introduces so many new people to this amazing community we all enjoy and partake in.

I'm happy to show my support for Chris and Karen. I'll will happily be following them and their amazing, traveling International Tiki Marketplace to wherever it ends up each month.

Cheers to Chris and Karen, and the International Tiki Marketplace.

Hear, hear.

WooHoo!

To Our ITMP Ohana - For the past three and a half years we have put our heart & souls into bringing you The International TIKI Market Place. Due to circumstances beyond our control and lack of communication, cooperation, and appreciation we found in the best interest of Our Vendors to move this event on. The words that have been said by others are not true and the way they were shared was very unprofessional. We both have full time careers but do this for our love of Tiki.
We have and always will appreciate all of the love and support that we have received from The Tiki Ohana. It is all of you that have helped to make this event what it is today with the Aloha Spirit.
Whether this event be held on a sandlot or in a building its you the Ohana, that makes it what it is. This event will continue and we look forward to having you being a part of it.

[ Edited by: WooHooWahine 2015-08-01 05:36 ]

I think everyone/group has a bit of drama from time to time in their lives. It's not easy, but sometimes you have to cut ties and move on. I know you both will do what is best for the Tiki Ohana and the Artists' Community. You are appreciated in so many ways and your Love of Tiki will carry on. Don't take the anger of others into you hearts. You shine as a bright star and guide to a lot of wonderful people. I will always count you as my friend.
HUGSHUGS, Marlene

My wife and I first met Karen and Chris some years ago( prior to The mrktpl at Don’s) at one of Bamboo Bens garage sales. It was held on the parking lot there at Bens shop.The marketplace events at Don’s have been wonderful (food, music, and drinks) amid a true tiki setting/experience. That said-we brought our own tropical beverages and shared them with the Ohana among the “pop-ups” crowded there at Ben’s. The music was there , the Ohana were there and the spirit of Aloha was certainly there.
We are looking forward to seeing everyone at the Elk’s in September.
Cheers

My wife and I went to the Elks tonight. Wow what a place. It was packed and they had a live band playing, We met a whole lot of nice people. We saw the area where the vendors will be set up, the Tiki Bar and where the bands will play. This place is not only great for the vendors but the visiting Ohana as well. I'm excited about this new venue. Good things happen to good people.

TikiVato that sounds wonderful. See you in the future, Wendy

Some of my lamp parts came in on Friday and I was able to make four Tiki Diablo Lamps today. I will have them for sale at the Original International Tiki Market Place on September 5th at the Elks Lodge in Garden Grove. I am excited to see all the goodies that the other vendors are bringing. I have a feeling that I will be spending more than I will be selling. (again)

I know it's a little off-topic, but I'll again have my matchbook-based "collages" available, and as I've had several requests recently for Disney matchbook collages, I'll have these along. - tom
