I have been in touch with Douglas Nason reg. January 4th. It's the last day of the beautiful exhibit at the Forest Lawn Semetary.
Please come to the closing party on the 4th at 3 pm and join Doug for a walk through the exhibit.
Doug is a truly amazing and interesting person and if you havn't met him I highly recommend to join him.
Doug asked me to get in touch with Damon's restaurant. We are hoping to reserve the backroom for drinks and dinner.
Please let me know if you would like to join for dinner so I can make arrangements with Damon's.
Here is the e-mail invitation that I received from Doug to pass on to all Tiki central friends:
"The In Search of Tiki exhibition will close on Sunday January 4th. This
exhibition will close with an informal walk-through presentation with
curators Douglas Nason and Jeff Fox at 3 PM. Participating artists and other
tiki aficionados' are encouraged to attend and share their thoughts on
their
work and the tiki art movement. When the museum doors close at 5 PM, we will
move on to the famous Polynesian themed Damon’s Steakhouse and celebrate
with further discussion and fun! Dinner and drinks are on your own"
I hope to see you all on the 4th.
Please bring your friends and family.

Joe Banks and Maid Marion, thanks for the new info! To get a walk through with the curators sounds like a great opportunity. And then dinner at Damon's! Count me in - and probably my daughter, too.

Aloha,
I reserved the backroom at Damon's for Sunday at 5.30.
Damon's would like to know how many people approx. will be there.
Please let me know if you would like to attend.
And Please spread the word.
I'm really just posting this event for Douglas Nason and I'm just helping out.
Lets all get together on Sunday and enjoy the last day of the wonderful exhibit
and the beginning of a Happy New Year!!
lots of hugs

I am trying to get some friends to go out there again for the closing also as well as dinner.
It will be interesting hearing background info on the diverse collection they have there.

Yay! Happy New Year everybody!!!! 
Really looking forward to this last run through of a fantastic show!
I was so honored to be included in the line up, and I am really looking forward to the walk through with Doug Nason.
His collection and photographs are just astounding.
A big Mahalo to Mr. Nason, Jeff Fox and Forest Lawn for welcoming and sharing with the Tiki Ohana!
So. . . 3pm walk through for sure. . . .
The only thing I am confused about is that there seems to be one group organizing a brunch at Damon's before the walk through, and another group organizing dinner/drinks AFTER the walk through. . .
Can we get some consensus here?
Don't get me wrong, I love Damon's, but twice in one day and I won't fit into any of my vintage tiki dresses! 
What say you all? . . . .

FYI. . .
Here is my idea of a perfect Sunday. . . .
* Hula Girls @ The Redwood (They go on @ 1:45 and play about a 45-50 min. set)
* In Search of Tiki walk through with Doug Nason @ 3pm
* Cocktail hour(s) and Dinner @ Damon's
YAY! We can do it all!!!
YES WE CAN!
YES WE CAN!
