I responded to Liz's request yesterday afternoon. I based contacting her on by weighing all of the responses posted in this thread. I guess the collector side of me would rather not have any more competition, but bigbrotiki makes a good point in that:

"Similarly one can hope that for every 20 readers of an (even if badly written) article on Tiki today there is one with whom it hits a nerve, and who is inspired to search out his grandparents' memorabilia, or the Tiki bar remnants of his youth".

I agree, especially at a local level where it would be interesting to see more of abandoned local flavor like Tiki Bob's, Zombie Hut, Coral Reef and such; some artifacts to resurface and maybe this could be a way to get others involved.

I simply stated to Liz in my response that I was willing to assist in steering her in a positive direction towards those of us who have an affinity for this area of lifestyle and collecting and wanted to convey I welcome any and all who are interested to participate and learn.

I also directed her to contact others locally and steered her towards a couple of threads on Tiki Central.

I also like Alohacurrent's thought of having anyone else participate by contacting Liz directly. It appears she has contacted some of the individuals from the threads and hopefully if we are all able to provide some insight into this feature we will see an informative and accurate representation of tiki and tiki culture.

I guess we will see where this goes?
