Tiki Kon officially kicked off Friday July 13 but if you were lucky enough or able to make it to Portland a day earlier, you had an opportunity to attend the Hale Pele Mug Release Party!
If you were staying at The Red Lion Hotel, a bus came to take you directly to Hale Pele. That means you can drink!

Good things come to those who wait …


Let the fun begin!









Was there fire? Hell yeah there was!






Everyone was having a great time, and then things got better. Martin Cate got behind the bar to introduce the new Hale Pele mug. Needless to say, it’s truly a work of art!




Nothing like drinking out of a new tiki mug …

The Hale Pele Mug Release Party was a blast but the party has just begun!

I’d like to thank Sveinn Kjartansson of Sveinn Photography for all the photos used in this post.

Coming up next: Tiki Kon Day One, The VIP Lounge Party!
