I know what you're thinking. Why hasn't the King posted info about Tiki Taix III yet??? (It's too big!) I think it may still be too early to post....so look for more details tomorrow, below this line. There will only be 1 Tiki Taix III.

Phine Photos! King Kukulele caught in the act (caught in the shtick is more like it!). Can't wait for tonight, it's really gonna be something super. By the way... The Maikai Gents will be selling our new playful-swayful stickers tonight at Tiki Taix. They make fine stocking stuffers, uke case decor or even cocktail coasters(if laminated) AND 100% of the proceeds go to fund our upcoming recording. Fun stuff! See you tonight.
-GROGG!

Holy Mackerel,
Those are some eyebrows. Well ChikiTiki you have finally resorted to posting blackmail pictures! That was a wonderful evening at the Brand Spanking New Berlin Trader Vics, well its actually not Brand New but it still is Spanking New...didn't you get spanked there Chiki? Oh yeah about those Mai Kai gent stickers, I love them, I actually am a big fan of the artwork of the inimitable (whatever that means) Kevin Kidney, and as soon as I get my new Ukulele case this wonderful artwork is going to be the first sticker on it. My old case is tattered and torn but has a million storys to tell. Viva la MKG's and viva la KK...Kevin Kidney that is!
