Hi! Um, my name is Don Fields and.....I'm a Tiki fan..

"HI, DON!"

Well, nevermind the gag!

Anyway, I bumped into this board thanks to a few tips from the old L. A. Mod Com people. I posted a question about an old tiki pad in Long Beach and they said to take a trip over here.

Not bad at all!

Well, ain't much to add here; yup, I have the issues to Tiki News, got The Book Of Tiki, a few Shag books, a few nice Martin Denny/Authur Lyman CD in my collection and took a few pic of old apartment buildings in the South Bay area that, in the end, everybody eles had.

I have other pointless pursuits: Negativland, 'Daria', Xanadu, 1964 Worlds Fair, Googie, Monty Python, 'Josie & the Pussycats', Fred Lane....blah, blah, blah.

...and I finaly got published! 'The Whatever Of Shmuck-O Rat'; a "graphic novel" (compilation comic) about a rat living on Venice Beach: http://www.landwaster.com/shmucko.html

O. K., I'll get out of the way now,
Don-O
