Aloha!
I'm pleased to announce that Shag has created four new prints for sale exclusively to Grand Members. Details can be found here.
For people who are not yet Grand Members but would like to purchase a set, there are currently more sets than there are Grand Members. However, the Initial Offering is only for people who became Grand Members on or before July 20th.
The remaining sets will become available to all Grand Members regardless of sign-up date shortly after the Initial Offering is over.
Mahalo,
Hanford

I was just going to ask the same thing. Hanford, where are you?
Excellent prints, thank you for thinking of us and giving us grand members this unique opportunity to own a peice of history.
I will be eagerly awaiting August 13th.
Monkeyman

Wow!!! What a great gesture SHAG has made offering up these prints at a price so much lower than his prints are fetching. I am a big fan of his art and I think these are his coolest prints yet and for that price I am giddy with excitement that I am already in line for these prints. Mahalo SHAG, Sven, Hanford,Leroy, Otto and all those involved this truly rules.

Hanford-- can we purchase these in the order that we became Grand Members? I think that would be a fine idea myself...

The exact method of how numbers will be assigned has not yet been determined.
However, as you can see from the Initial Offering method, I’m trying hard to make this fair to existing Grand Members without stand-in-line, worrying-about-sell-outs, and refreshing-the-website-every-10-seconds type things.
Now, keep in mind that the first 100 Grand Members joined within 24 hours of it’s announcement. It is clear to me that these people were joining basically as soon as they could. The difference between being #1 and #100 had more to with whether or not you check Tiki Central before work on the East Coast or at night on the West than anything else.
So, to say that your position in the Grand Membership Register determines your Shag Print number (and future offerings?) does not seem like the best idea to me.

PS, I've put up a FAQ to help clear up some of the questions about all this ...

Maybe a first come first serve list will work, after the initial grand members get their prints. I would like to be on list.

Even though this doesn't really help me out, maybe the numbering could relate to when you joined Tiki Central and/or the number of posted messages.
The older members would get the lower numbered prints.

Well there's no list. Yet.
The idea is that it's Grand Members only, and when the second sale comes around I'll let everyone know, and normal (non Grand) members can buy a membership at that time if they want to get one. So it basically increases the price by $24 bucks. But that is virtually the same price the Grand Members paid too, they just paid their $24 in advance.

If you look at the big picture 24 bucks to be a Grand Member is nothing...dont go to Starbucks for 3-4 days and you have the extra cash...and I dont think it is about "bourgeoisie"...it is simply about supporting an endeavor to get people together who love tiki and want to share information. Web Sites do not come cheap, especially ones like this one with SO MUCH information.
