It was great to meet some of you at the Los Straitjackets show. I look forward to attending some upcoming events.
I just had this sent to me - looks interesting.
MCA DENVER family free day this Saturday, 10-6pm at their new location at 1485 Delgany Street.
Featuring Maori dance performance at 11am.
Open Studio with Artist-in-Resident Rangi Kipa (New Zealand).
Rangi Kipa "reclaims the ancient tiki forms of the Maori" in his installation, RADIARE, on display in the project gallery.
See you there.

Hey Moaiman- thanks for the heads up. The Maori and Tahiti dancing was very good and the installation was great with a modern take of a longhouse. The rest of the museum was disappointing and the architecture of the museum was very mundane.

I'll be in Denver this week on business, and was wondering if taking a sidetrip down to Manitou Springs this weekend to visit The Castaways would be worth my while. Has anyone been there recently?

Mr. Bali Hai - A trip down to Manitou on your own may not be worthwhile, but there are several other worthwhile sights to catch if you are here for a few days, not tiki, but interesting. I sent you a PM with my cell #, give me a ring while you are here if you do end up with some free time. You are also welcome to stop by the Kona Luanii for a drink if your schedule permits.

Mike, that is a great modernist exterior, love the typeface of the "Tropics". Now for some photos of the interior and the self-carved Tiki masks...

I have to thank Michelle Baldwin for the great article she wrote about the Tropics. She also did the research and dug up these photos for the interior.
Here is a better version of the exterior
And saved the best for last
The Tropics building still stands today

We are in for the Charles Phoenix show. We saw both of his shows at the Modernism show this summer and are really looking forward to the holiday version.

Kudos on the splendid newsletter,Mr.ZM! Take it from one who has been in journalism for quite some time, you've produced one swell-lookin' publication.
