I never understood WHEN one gets to see the private message thingy blinking, it seems to be very sporadic, in between checking posts, and a matter of luck that one catches it.
Is there any way to improve on that? It is frustrating, I just now noticed a message that seems to have been up there for a WEEK!:

Hey Sven. I am excited about attending the Tropics event again this year. I was wondering if you will have any copies of your video for sale. I have an ever expanding collection and what do ya know....do not have your wonderful video.
Any chance of purchasing a copy?
So on this route, here is my reply:
Unfortunately I have to go where the job pulls me, and I won't be at the Tiki Oasis in person this year, just my slide show. But you can still mail order the video from me (for the next two weeks only!), see instructions below:
This delightful journey into Tikiland consists of two videos produced before THE BOOK OF TIKI was published. But since my research had a major influence on the making of them, they visually complement the book nicely.
Expeditions to sites that are now gone, like THE TIKIS and the Playa Del Rey Polynesian Village Apartments, Interviews, and archival footage of people and places mentioned in the book allow the urban archeologist to revisit and discover the sites and sounds of Polynesia Americana.
PAYMENT TERMS: Mail Order Only!
For simplicity, it's 20.- dollars. DO send cash! A 20.- bill is easy to hide in an envelope (checks will do in a pinch). Mail to:
Sven Kirsten
2300 Hidalgo Ave., Los Angeles, CA 90039
This video is made only for Tiki Centralites and personal sale by me. Any profiteering with it on e-bay will result in loss of mana!
(...and I am planning to put another one up on e-bay soon, though it will be unlikely for it to sore to similar heights)
