Update edit: The registered contact phone and street address for 'tikicon.com' matches that of A Second Look consignment superstore, in Phoenix, whatever that portends. Store owner's a big tiki enthusiast? 2nd Update: OK, this get's interesting. In addition to the store's, this person has also registered the domains for two bands, San Antonio's King Pelican and Phoenix' Surfside IV, and a photographer (with web design similarities on all sites). Surfside IV turns up lots of hits, on Tiki Central's Search. They played at the aforementioned Surf Guitar 101, in 2010. Surfside IV's Facebook page reads: Biography "Killer instrumental surf sounds from Phoenix, Arizona...hundreds of miles from the nearest ocean. Fueled by a love of a Fender guitar drenched in spring reverb and the big surf beat (and perhaps a rum-laden cocktail or two), we don our fezzes and salute the lost art of playing real music with real instruments." Band Interests "The smell of burning rubber, the eerie 60Hz hum of the nearby beer sign through an old Fender amp, a tasty Mai-Tai made with crushed ice but shockingly little mixer." So, someone around here's gotta know this person (Initials, "L.R.", I'm avoiding putting his name here, look it up)? I'd guess he is very close to Surfside IV (if not a member of the band). So, the intent of putting on a tiki event, in Arizona, is likely serious and sincere. But like PiPhiRho said, there's not much evidence that an event, supposedly only a few months away, is really going to come off. But if it IS, encourage him to get more information up, soon!
