I think it was in the Tiki O-4 vending contract that we could not share the spaces. Yes, we actually had to sign contracts this year. You might want to e-mail Otto and see if there is a space avail for a table. The spaces aren't all that big but it all works. I'm sure he'll cram you in somewhere.

Last year @ Tiki O III I made the mistake of showing up with plastic, only to be turned away by most vendors. This year I'm bringin' cold, hard cash (in unmarked, small denominations...of course).

Cold hard cash? Yarr! Dubloons and Pieces of eight for all!

Anybody wanna buy a monkey?

Monkey, why did you change your post??? I thought it was a legit post and answer. It's only 40$ a day to vend. (2 night(day) minimum) (Did anyone else see what he posted or have I lost my mind!!!?? I need to quote for now on)

Thanks for the tip, this will be my first oasis and was wondering about this.

T-Bird.

And, make sure you get out to the Lanai early on Vending days cause people scamble for the stuff. Sold half our stuff last year before we could even set up! It was a mad house! Then we chilled with the "Wrecks" back under the Bamboo!! Hey Ship!? Same bamboo corner? Same Bamboo time? Is Judy aka Bamboo2U coming this year to feed and intoxicate us??

B

Vending Hours have been EXTENDED this year!

Saturday 11-6pm

Sunday 11-4pm (but not all vendors will do Sunday - you might want to ask them if you are interested in coming back the next day to make a purchase!)

There are no more vending tables available. Sorry! We have over 25 vendors this year so that is a full house. Sooo cool! I can't wait to break open my piggy bank and go hog crazy!

We will be sending this info out at later dates but I wanted to remind folks that NO vending should take place in any of the Caliente Tropics rooms. We feel that it really takes away from the special marketplace and it isn't really fair to vendors who have paid money to have a vending space. Please be respectful of this.

For those vending - you should have recieved a confirmation e-mail from Otto. If you have not gotten this please e-mail him a.s.a.p. with the subject: Tiki Oasis Vendor Confirmation

Cheers!
Baby Doe

First time vendor. Can't wait to meet everyone!

B

Break open those piggy banks as Tiki Oasis is going to be a day of Tiki shopping that can only be described as pure BLISS!

This is going to an amazing time to splurge!

Remember to bring cash-o-la as vendors will not be set-up for credit cards (as far as I know!). I didn't list WHAT everyone is selling but it pretty much covers ALL your needs from tiki bars, t-shirts, vintage clothing, barware, kids clothing, original artwork, tiki mugs, shoes, hand carved tikis, big tikis, small tikis... the list goes on!

Tiki News will also be selling a limited edition Tiki Oasis IV Mug made by MunkTiki on Friday night after the bandsfrom 10-11pm and during the daytime from 11:30-3pm. Sooo look for the Tiki News itty bitty table.

Extra SMOOCHES from Otto and Baby Doe goes out to Holden from Tiki Farm for volunteering to be our being our BRILLANT vendor coordinator! XOXO

Munktiki will be vending, debuting many new items too.

I will be selling some of my ceramic bowls.

C

WWWWHHHHAAATTT??

That's it, where do I sign up to volunteer again? I'm there.

Been waiting for I don't know how long for one of JV's bowls.

VWTG, got room in your car?

I need a place to stay!!!

ARRGGGHHHH!!!!! (any infrigement on Ben's use is totally intentional and vastly appropriate at this point I think)

I think, therefore I am.... at least I think I am, therefore I must be.... that is I will be... there. (To clarify, just add alcohol).

Kent will be there.....he's the guy who did some art for Gecko's website (the gecko carving the Tiki). I will post some of his stuff for him on Creating Tiki as he is busy creating and trying to get his website up.

I recently (like TODAY) purchased a lot of vintage aloha shirts with the sole intent of bringing them to the oasis to help a few TCers get decked out in the preferred uniform. Unfortunately, I did not decide to do this until all the vendor space was sold out (I dont really have that much product anyway)

I will bring this lot of shirts with me and if any of your are interested in trying something on and buying one, just let me know and we can coordinate a time. I am pricing them all at $20 each.

"NO vending should take place in any of the Caliente Tropics rooms. We feel that it really takes away from the special marketplace and it isn't really fair to vendors who have paid money to have a vending space. Please be respectful of this.

These are all mens shirts and range in size from Medium to XL.

Most of them are barkcloth and all are vintage. Ui Mai Kai, Don Loper, Sears, Pomare Tahiti, Iolani and more.

The POINT IS........Vend out of your room (or anywhere else on the property) and YOU ARE RIPPING OFF all 30 of the Vendors!! THINK about it. The "Secret Tiki Oasis Vending Police" are onto you!!


This is what I get out of the above. He sells out of his room so, that's minus 80.00 for vending space that everyone else who is vending, pays. Then he sells 25 shirts at 20.00 each. That's 500.00. So, That's 500.00 that won't be spent on the vendors' area. Catch my drift?? So, let's say you aka vendor rents a space, for 80.00, and you sell 80.00 worth of stuff. You say, well, I broke even. Well, actually, you would've been ahead 16.67 (split between all the vendors if that 500.00 were to be spent in the VENDORS AREA). And Sixteen Dollars and Sixty Seven Cents would be at least 2 killer cocktails at the REEF for all YOUR HARD WORK. So, while we all sit outside he sits in A/C and makes 500.00 or 16.67 out of our pockets!

The secret "vending police" will be watching!!!!

I have decided to pull back from vending and help Otto w/the running the vendor area as it's become a pretty major task! I am "your official vendor area" supervisor so as to take some of the heat off of Otto. Once a tiki grunt, always... blah blah. Anyways, I've got 12 new products that I am launching and to organize & supervise the vendor area for Otto (I already promised to do so some time ago) and launch my products... no way that's gonna happen together! Ultimately, the bottom line...
MORE MAI TAIS FOR ME!!!
Mahaloz!

We will be offering an assortment of TikiFarm mugs at the M Modern Gallery that weekend as we always do. We will also have some of the mugs available from the "It's All About the Tiki" show we did with Holden in late November.

Please remember to vistit the opening of our "I Dream of Tiki" show on Saturday May 8th from 3 - 6 pm. We timed this specifically to limit the impact on the rest of the Tiki Oasis events scheduled for that evening.

"I Dream of Tiki" is a group Tiki show featuring work from the likes of Shag, Mark Ryden, Bosko, Bamboo Ben, Crazy Al, Joe and Donella Vitale, Drew Brophy and many other artists from the fine art world you have no doubt heard of. Please look for our upcoming post in this section within the next few days for further details on the show.

M Modern Gallery is a proud sponsor of the Tiki Oasis IV. Everybody please drive safe!

TB

Holden, will Tiki Farm be doing a new design for the Caliente Tropics mug or tiki mug for Oasis IV?

B

YES! Tiki News will be selling a LIMITED EDITION Tiki Oasis IV Tiki Mug created by MunkTiki.

We will only sell these for limited time at the event due to not having the man-power to sell them all weekend.

Friday night after the bands from 10-11pm (hey we are the organizers -- we can vend before others!) and Saturday afternoon from 11:30-3:30 at the side gate. Look for a very small Tiki News table.

For those who wanted to vend out of a room here are my suggestions:

  1. If you are NOT staying at the Tropics then tell everyone that you will be selling stuff out of your non-Tropics room at a particular time and have people pop by to check them out! Maybe on Saturday or Sunday morning?

  2. Make a little flyer to pass out letting people know about what you want to sell and then place photos online for folks to see and order from you directly from you at a future date. That would mean you don't have to deal withselling stuff that weekend but you could get the ball a rollin' for future orders.

Selling out of your Tropics rooms is very naughty! Those who do this will be spanked (maybe by Bamboo Ben?!)!

Thanks for the info. Baby Doe!

Two years ago, when Shag was selling shirts out of his room did he get spanked and if so; Where, how many times and by whom?

Details, Baby, we want the lurid details! :D

We will never tell.
But, we are all friends now, so it worked out ok.
Alohahahahaha! :lol:

Stop the telephone calls pleeez! I'm not doing a mug for the event as Otto & Baby Doe opted to go with Munktiki. Baby Does' post is misleading but well-intended!! See you at Oasis... I'll be the guy in the Tiki Pimp Suit!
Mahaloz!
Holden

Baby Doe,

Can you give us a sneak peek of the Tiki News mug?

Here are the last Tiki Oasis IV updates!

If you are missing a ticket confirmation # please e-mail us by Monday the 3rd. After that we will not be answering e-mail as we will be on the road to Palm Springs! ** if you booked a room with the Tropics you will NOT get a confirmation from Tiki News.

LIMITED WALK-UP TICKETS ADDED!
We are excited to announce that The tropics has decided to allow a limited number of tix sold at the door! We hope this info can get out to those who didn't think they could make the show due to it being sold out. Please accept our apologies that we did not work this out sooner! (do NOT mail a check or pay via PayPal as we will NOT receive this in time!)

A few more cool announcements....
Guest bartenders in the Reef bar both Friday and Saturday evening serving special drinks!! Hula Hoop contest has been added on Saturday at 2:30pm! and oh soooo much more!

Tiki News will be selling a limited edition mug made by Munk Tiki! This will be sold Friday night after the live entertainment AND Saturday 11:30-3:30. Check out the mug at: http://www.tikinews.com/tikioasis/vendors.html

Now that we know who's vending, what are you all bringing to vend??

We bowed down to the "evil tiki tech gods" and got us a digital camera today. We will post "Pre-view" pics of what we are going to bring as soon as we figure it out. (Monday /Tuesday?)

Last year I only offered candles but this year I have many new things! Candle holders, soaps, necklaces, desktop statues. I specialize in Tiki knick-knack!
Can't flippin' wait!

I forgot! I'm bringing some stained glass too! Very original stuff! I design them and my mom, who gave me her original late fifties tiki necklace, is putting them toghether for me! The first one looks fantastic! You'll see it at the Oasis! :)

it's kinda funny not vending. kinda weird but being in the "trenches of tiki commerce" means that I must launch my molds and new production around the gift industry tradeshow season... did i mention that it's kinda weird? well, fellow tiki freakies, hang tight for a mid-June launch that has cost me a lot of sleep. hang tight and
let me just some it up as...

I think there's about 15 new products in all - about 8 new glazes, 5-6 retirees and all previously glazed items that made it through the ranks are changing their skins to come to you in funky new hues. I like that I can do this stuff... tiki make me happy!!!!

Tiki Farm rocks!

(wait till you's see the new shit! you's gonna freak out!!!)

M

It's actually a relief (for my wallet) that Tiki Farm is not debuting all their new products at this event because I know I could not resist buying one of everything. Can't wait to see the new designs though! This is really an amazing lineup of vendors! So many great artists! :) ...but such a small tiki budget, damn. :( Oh, and my wife would like to thank all the vendors for not taking plastic for payment. She thinks that I cannot be trusted at an event like this with a loose credit card...she's right. :wink:

ModMana :drink:

Ben,

Those Bars are really cool. I especially like the one with the painted Oasis logo.

Nice work.
