I think this is SO WONDERFUL that you're organizing it, and I want to make sure you guys know that you probably don't need to go all out. The scale of effort you're talking about putting into it is not unlike the effort that goes into a major event that attracts hundreds of people. Is that your goal? I think it'll be fantastic even if it ends up being only four of you that get together to talk tiki together over Mai Tais, no fancy event trappings needed. The locals will have to be the ones to truly say so, but I would venture to guess that they'll show up whether there's a collectible print or mug or not.

I REALLY hope I'm not taking business away from any artists who have an opportunity to contribute to this, I think any effort to support them should be pursued, but I also don't want folks who are starting up tiki get-togethers in new areas to feel like they have to go all-out right out of the gate.
