I've know dave for a few years now....he's been a tiki fan for some time ...he's always interested in what's happening in the tiki world and usually gives whatever is happening alittle press coverage...he covered all 3 exotica events, the opening of rock-a-tiki, and a few other tiki related topics...he's on my mailing list and is always kept current on events around the midwest as well as abroad, including tiki events and bar openings....dave had a book release party a few years back for his book entitled "ticket to anywhere", a collection of roadtrip essays he wrote for the paper over the years...it's a good read, kinda like a tiki road trip book but for more pop culture related places...we threw a tiki themed /book release party at a local bar with about 300 attendees hanging out all night....there was a nice limited edition screened print available too....you may be able to find one still, it has a hula girl drawn on it...
