Hey, hey, hey! Thanks for the mention! I'm the producer and co-director of this little gem. I'm coming down for it, too! Come say hey! Peeps should know, tho that the magnificent and irrepressible King Kukulele is also in the documentary! Any omission of his name is a gross oversight. But the random cruelty of cut-and-paste and all that. However, let me just say that we have really great black and white portraits of our interview subjects that we show during the end credits--and guess, just guess, whose portrait I chose to accompany my own name? King Kukulele, that's who! He's a very funny tiki freaky maniac in the doc, and I covet his hat! All during the filming, after we interviewed him, the King kept calling us up with new ukulele people we should interview--like Travis Harrelson and The Haoles. KK became an invaluable source for us and my co-director Sean and I will always be grateful. By the by, the latest issue of a chic eurotrash sk8boarder magazine Adrenalin (adrenalin.com) is running a multi-page spread in its latest issue of some of those aforementioned b&w portraits, and I'm delighted to say the King is there. I don't even think I've told the King that. I'm talking a full page portrait for the tiki tiger beat set! Cool cool! I think the King will be present at the LA screening at DKTR, too. We were going to have him perform, but they lost the venue. At this late date, no word on whether it will happen. But the King will still be present!

...pant,pant...

...can you tell I've been drinking?
