Help Me to Celebrate the People that Celebrate Tiki!

Aloha All~

This is being posted as a request that you be a part of my dream of writing a book, not just any book but a Tiki Book, it will be a book of many parts, a majority of which will be recipes that I have gathered and collected over the years for food and drink. But what I think will make this book special is that I want to include within the book the people that have and share my love for things tiki. Someone asked once what does tiki, mean to you, and to me it means PEOPLE in a lot of ways. One of which is that Tiki means getting together to celebrate our love of tiki, and to celebrate we have gatherings and at these gatherings we have music, food, drinks. And that I guess that is the synopsis of what this dream book is about, but to make it truly what I hope and think it can be I need the help of the many wonderful tiki people everywhere who are willing to share their stories, pictures, and any other bits and pieces you would like send me to add to this project.

If you are willing and would like to be a part of this project please email me at [email protected] or PM through TC and I will send you the form to fill out. Your information will not be used for any kind of spam or anything other then what I have mentioned above.

And for those that think I am planning on getting rich from this, I have had a number of conversations with Duke Carter about this idea and He made it very clear that to take it to a publisher not much will be profited from it. Which is fine, the lil bit I may make I will hopefully use to buy all that take part in the book a drink in the future when I have the chance to meet them.

Mahalo, Tiki Toa

And I apologize to those who I emailed before this post I did not mean for the email to look like a cross between spam & a marketing survey.

Also at this time the deadline is Dec. 1st
