JT- You should have a book signing at Viva Las Vegas too. Shag is gonna be there on Friday night at the 8-ball store (the Burbank store) booth. Maybe you can do something there on Friday as well.

This is a good idea.
I don't want to crowd in uninvited on Shag's thing, but showing up somewhere else at VLV might work out. I assumed that all Tikiphiles attending VLV would make the trek over to Mondo Tiki at some point on Saturday, it being just down the street (more or less)... but maybe on Sunday I'll go over to VLV with some books for any rockabilliy Tikis who wouldn't/couldn't make the side trip...

Now that said, I want to plan a trip to LA and the San Francisco the week after Mondo and try to do an event in each of those towns during the week of April 21-26-ish. Any suggestions for venues for a book signing party in LA or SF?

As far as LA goes, Tiki Ti is too small, Vic's doesn't dig big invasions from Tiki freaks, Damon's just isn't Tiki enough... that leaves Bahooka or possibly the gallery La Luz de Jesus (sp.?). Any other possible locations?

SF is even harder because Tonga Room hates Tikiphiles (or seems to), Trader Sam is a dump... maybe Bamboo Lounge, but I'd prefer to have it in a 'classic' place rather than a 'neo' if possible... what do all you west coasters think?
