Hey all you Taboooor's!

Jason Lee and I are looking for roommates for the weekend. We have a pool view with two queen beds. We totally slacked with setting arrangements up sooner. So if any of our friends bought the pendants but weren't able to get accommodations let us know! We have the room Thursday - check out Sunday. Let me know if you are interested and I'll fill you in with the pricing info.
Thanks! Michele Del Ray

5 days left and here is the Skinny.

We walked the grounds today to place vendors/Bar/Stage area.

We will have the Room Party Times Listed in the next day. We will not stack them on top of the live entertainment,so you should not miss anything.

We only have 1 double queen room left,so move quickly if you are interested.

If you are coming to the event it will be $45 at the door. It WILL NOT be a pendant you receive,it will be a wristband.

Pendants will be pulled off sale Thursday Morning.

We will release new information Monday.........Some cool side stuff that will be a special treat for people coming to the event.

Thank you for supporting our little event.

You defiantly do not want to miss the ‘unveiling’ of CrazyAL’s latest sculpture. Taboo is honored to be able to reveal the next amazing creation from this Crazy-man. I’ve not even seen it, but know it must be something to behold if it to set aside for such special attention. I’m assured by CrazyAL that Taboo is the description and it could be banned from the Hotel Lobby once the managers behold the shocking incredible sight.... “Will this Taboo be for you? It won’t be for everyone.” says AL.

I am releasing my newest custom paint edition at my booth at Taboo!

come by and check out the Frankies Lava Letch Zombie Sunset.

This hand-painted and hand-signed and numbered edition is limited to 30. i will have 10 or so at the show, so get em early!

All of us at the Zen Tiki Lounge podcast had an amazing weekend. Cheers to Rory and Amy for putting on a great event. We recorded a podcast from our room with a live audience. Click on over and listen, almost like being there. Pictures from the room party will be added very soon.

http://www.zentikilounge.com/2012/10/ztl-262-taboo-in-the-desert-an-adult-playground/

I am Listening as I Type this note. It sounds like I missed one hell of a party. Thank You so much for being part of these events and becoming an event within an event.

Cheers

W

Whew! That was a good time in the desert. Great vibe, lots of time to hang out and talk and shop and drink and more. The "pendant for a wristband" solution was a nice touch, and I'm happy to land another awesome pendant by Kirby. The mug is a nice (big!) addition to the collection as well. Add in the balcony decor and costumes and it felt like the theme came together nicely.

Thanks to Rory and Amy for putting on the event, Marie and Jeremy for manning the bar, Jeff for tirelessly DJ-ing, Crazy Al with the art and MC-ing, the bands, the vendors, the other volunteers that help pull the event off, and the crawl hosts.

The whole weekend felt like a neighborhood affair, with lots of dropping in and visiting with friends new and old.

Pictures soon-ish!

kevin

great time! could it be anything else?

UffDa!
Looks like I took ~300 photos (not including video) at Taboo. Hopefully once I've gone through and culled them there might be a few worth posting.
As usual I'll create a set for them on my Flickr account and post the link here.
-Michael

Any collaboration Rory and Amy stamp their name on you know your getting a top shelf event. Great weekend that flew by yet had a months worth of debauchery and antics crammed into it. Mahalo to everyone that came by our Haole Rot Primo Beer Room Crawl and apologies to those that had to take early naps due to Pineapple Princesses Buzzy Bears. Also big thanks to John and Kim for co-hosting and helping to spread the aloha.

For those that weren't at Taboo, there was a camera crew shooting film for the upcoming DVD - Taboo Island.

Too many Buzzy Bears....

Makes you see double Rorys

What a great time.

Here's the beginning of my photos...

Once Again I want to thank everyone who came to the TABOO event. I believe it was something very special and not to have been missed.

BUT...........

I would like to talk about some issues that both Amy (Mojave Oasis) and Myself (Tiki Caliente) have noticed from this event that we were not happy with.
This was only 1% of the people,but it's a 1% that I don't want to see at my events or to grow in numbers. I will make these very short and to the the point.

1. Like all Events we run,we must bring an existing License on grounds to serve Booze. When that happens you can NOT bring your own drinks to the fenced event area. (Tonga Hut who provided the License could be fined or the License could be Voided) It is getting so in your face insulting with people bringing their own can's/bottles/mixed drinks to the pool/event area that I am taking it personally now. Your own booze, is for your room ONLY.

2. People selling product without being a vendor is just tacky and insulting to every vendor on grounds. I kicked out 2 people for doing this and banned them from coming to any of my events in the future. But next time it will be public.

3. If you can't handle your booze DON'T COME. As we all fall now and then,including myself.I at least know i get silly and loud when I over drink. I don't bother people and make them uncomfortable and leave a negative lasting impression of myself and the event itself......Once again you will be banned from ALL future events hosted by Amy and Myself. Please don't read too much into this,these people were contacted after the event. SO if you were not contacted you were just a fun RUMMY.

4. Do not come to the event after hours without a pendant. As this was a smaller event we were lean on security and in some ways self policed. When I see people come into town from L.A. Orange County and San Diego and try and hideout in rooms to watch the bands and not pay for a Pendant, all I can think is TACKY. If you can't afford to come to our events then "you can't afford to come to our events".

Sorry for the rant but we do our best to keep this event cost effective. With the price of rooms,Pendants,drinks and food. But when you don't even want to purchase any of those, then you should not be at our event after 6p.m.

Thanks for your Time,

W

I want to give a big thanks to Everyone for Having us Out !

What a weekend. Rory and Amy ... Thanks to You the most for making things happen. more ways than people can understand.

Thanks for letting Jason Lee and the R.I.P. tides provide
our weird music for you to "Taboo" to.

Thank you everyone for the overwhelming support to John Mulder
and I on the Jason Lee Mug. The release party was a hit
and the mugs sold out fast.

I really felt Taboo was going to be the right Event to release
the mug and you guys were great.

Thanks to Rory for helping us show the mug so much at the show too !

I gotta say I didnt think the release of my drink "The Hair raiser" was going to win 2nd place so thank you !

We all hope to see you at another great Event in the Future !

Jason Lee (and the gang)

We had a fantastic time, a big thanks to Amy and Rory. We enjoyed the music, the drinks and the people. A special thanks to Amy for accepting our last minute room party and to crazy Al for announcing it as if he always knew it would happen. Also thanks to Mary for her support.
Let's do it again!
