Still ambitious, but more practical, this monthly guide to what&#8217;s going on across the world of Tiki culture will hopefully be a definitive resource of where to find special events that touch on topics of interest to many Tikiphiles. You&#8217;ll find all the major Tiki festivals, plus smaller gatherings along with events that scratch our itch for rum and cocktails, surf and rockabilly music, mid-century modern design, even Disney. And don&#8217;t forget authentic Polynesian culture, the well from which Tiki springs. The biggest will get extended coverage as &#8220;spotlight events.&#8221;<br \/>\n<strong>Social media:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/atomicgrog\/\" target=\"new\">Follow our Facebook page for daily news updates<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/atomicgrog\/\" target=\"new\">Pinterest<\/a> | Coming soon: Twitter and Instagram <\/p>\n<p><strong>AUGUST 2017 TIKI EVENTS CALENDAR<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Spotlight events:<\/strong> <a href=\"#SG101\">Surf Guitar 101 Convention<\/a> (Aug. 4-6) | <a href=\"#Tiki-Oasis\">Tiki Oasis<\/a> (Aug. 10-13)<br \/>\n<a href=\"#Asbury-Park\">Asbury Park Surf Music Festival<\/a> (Aug. 25-27) |<br \/>\n<a href=\"#ongoing\">Ongoing events<\/a> | <a href=\"#upcoming\">Upcoming events<\/a><\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fforbiddenisland%2Fposts%2F10154864808400003%3A0&#038;width=500\" width=\"500\" height=\"671\" style=\"border:none;overflow:hidden\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowTransparency=\"true\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p> <a name=\"SG101\"><\/a><\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><strong>********************* SPOTLIGHT EVENT *********************<br \/>\n***********************************************************<\/strong><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong>Aug. 4-6 &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/SG101Convention\/\" target=\"new\">Surf Guitar 101 Convention<\/a><\/strong> at the Alpine Village in<br \/>\nTorrance, Calif., and Surf Dogs Sports Grill in Huntington Beach.

The convention has expanded from one to three days in 2017. Saturday remains the main event with all the heavy hitters hitting the stage from noon to midnight, along with vendors raffles for vintage guitars and other gear. Friday&#8217;s opening night features all current California bands from 8 p.m. to midnight.

His experience in newspaper journalism and more than 20 years as an independent concert promoter have given him a front-row seat in the South Florida scene since the 1970s.

A graduate of the University of Florida's College of Journalism and Communications in 1983, Jim was a longtime editor and web producer for The Palm Beach Post before his retirement in 2022. He earned his nickname by virtue of both his dangerous exotic drinks and his longtime position overseeing tropical weather coverage in his stormy home state. Jim now spends his time mixing cocktails, attending events and writing stories for this blog, which launched in 2011.

Jim now spends his time mixing cocktails, attending events and writing stories for this blog, which launched in 2011. The Atomic Grog extensively covers events, music, art, cocktails, and culture with a retro slant.","sameAs":["https:\/\/theatomicgrog.com","http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/atomicgrog","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/theatomicgrog\/","https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/atomicgrog\/","https:\/\/x.com\/theatomicgrog","https:\/\/youtube.com\/@atomicgrog"],"url":"https:\/\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/author\/hurricanehayward\/"}]}},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/TikiOasis2017-tease.jpg?fit=653%2C384&ssl=1","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p1xHjT-3Rp","jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14843","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14843"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14843\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14964"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14843"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14843"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14843"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
