I concur, I say, having finally found the leisure to read through Pocketiki #2. Articles like the one on the 'Pacific Encounters' exhibition really bring across the spirit of Tiki today: The combination of a fascination and love for authentic Polynesian culture and history, mixed with the irreverence and sense of humor of pop culture today really hits the mark of what it is all about. Trader Jim's style seems inspired by the outrageous British tabloids, which makes the read more entertaining than the American "if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all" placid mode of writing. Perusing Pocketiki felt like the early days of Tiki News.

I regret that much more now that my faint hope for hopping on a plane to the London Luau last minnit has been squelched by me having to shoot that weekend. Have a great time, y'all, you deserve it for all the fine work you have been doing as missionaries of quality Tiki in the old world!
