Hi Folks! Just a quick post to say I should be posting some pics and info about POCKETIKI Magazine - 'For Today's Sophisticated Suburban Savage', over the weekend. A couple of hours ago I produced the final 'proof copy' to check over, before printing next week. As per last issue I will be producing 50 Limited Edition 'colour cover and Nude Hula Honey centrespread' copies. If that weren't enough we are including 10 different 'BRITIKI' promotional postcards and wait for it... A 7 song sampler exclusive numbered cd by those crazy Germans - HULAPUNK! Only available with these limited edition copies. HULAPUNK are playing at this year's HUKILAU so you'll get to check them out in advance.

We would love to have put a cd in all of the regular copies too, but it is just not possible at present. One day, if I get reasonable distribution, I may be able to put cds in ALL the copies, but until then.... Apart from the cost of cds, labels and poly sleeves, I actually burnt every one of them on a X2 vintage cd burner! That's 10 minutes for a twenty minute cd (thereabouts). Yeah! I know!! They look and sound great though, that's why I want to post some pictures of the whole 'bagged' package. And, in case you are wondering, NO, I didn't nick the idea off TIKI RACER's limited edition 'body bagged' hand painted Zombie Mugs either! How very dare you!!

I'm not sure how to distribute these yet, but I'm thinking that putting them on eBay will be best as the money they sell for will help finance the regular versions. It's a one man operation and the all the copies are produced by me, with a lot of passion and even more hard work! Not to mention a fair bit of dosh!

We love lists, but unless there are plenty of items available, too many people will get disappointed. So please don't ask to be added to the list. There isn't one. POCKETIKI is about having FUN! Not upseting folk! Remember...TIKI with a TWIST!

We are doing another cd compilation with the next issue entitled...yeah, you guessed it..., "POCKETIKI presents TIKI with a TWIST!". We already have a few bands/musicians who are booked in, so if any bands want to be considered, send us your info and more importantly...MUSIC! The more the merrier!!

Anyway, I'm dead beat (and a 'Deadbeat'!) so I'll sign off and get some sleep. TTFN!
