(Hey ya'monkey write me an email....)

Over all the show was not about Tiki, but about creating entertainment by getting talented people to work there ass off just for "TV"! And to focus on the 'Drama' of the 'Impossible Task' they agreed to do for no 'money'.....
(Let's face it folks this is an 'afternoon' show in it's first season.....)

Big Surprise........ but luckily the designer Patty had a goal to do it right if she was going to do it...... I gave it a go.... She did Tiki Proud.......

I really had to force my self to do this... it could have been another Monster House, but they never made it clear I could get either money or promotion.
So it ended up they showed non of the four or so interviews with me that they filmed, and never mentioned my wed site or my involvement with Ape the band (that I repeated over and over...they even shot a scene with every one dancing around to Ape Music at the end). ..But they did make me look good, and mentioned my name over and over....now if I only get off my but and get CrazyAL.com, which someone has saved, or at least 'crazyalevans'.

I think since I made them pay me the $250 (that wasn't in budget)...they decided I got my dues. However, because they did such a great job with the 'interviews' I put much more work into the tiki then what I planned. I carved the Grand Father's and the Kid's initials into the face... It might be the biggest shame that they left that part out.

Also, the Corporate Sponsors throw a fit when someone's info is given with out the million dollar price tag that they paid.... the producers wouldn't let me put up a banner behind me. I didn't push them to sign a promo-contract because I was not written into the show in the first place. the producers where shit-ting about the budget already. So I took what I could get.... bla bla bla....

Here's the carving station - front yard
