Aloha,
WOW. I don't personallly own one of those Trader Vic's Polynesian Pottery Seahorse mugs and I always seemed to get out bid. It's one of those few things that had elluded me in my over 17+ year search while making the book. Most of the things I most craved rarely stayed in the islands. These tourist things, brought back to remember a great vacation are only occasionally found here.
I guess I'll have to buy a couple of tickets too.  Good cause!
It's going to be great to see you Holden and I appreciate your support.
I promise a great show. "A Celebration of the Tiki Age in Hawaii" has taken on a life of it's own and grown to over 400 images. The ACTUAL VOICE OF DONN "THE BEACHCOMBER" BEACH being heard for the first time since his passing in 1989 is a special 2 minutes.
FYI, If there are any "Exotica" radio shows or other media in LA that would like to interview me about the book or the program, please ask. I will be happy to make myself available on Saturday (and Sunday Morning) after I land.
best,
Phillip

This is going to be a nice, old school tiki event! The Smokin' Menehunes hope you all enjoy our old-fashioned, relaxing vibe!
