the characters involved in this fund raising event are not tiki... (aside from yourself and you know who agle...100% celebritiki )

...here comes a rant...

...latin tunes? how about a gary baseman style pinata? view a vespa by shepard "OBEY" ferry? why not hold a tricycle race around the museum where each rider downs a mai tai for every lap he runs? or a beatbox contest tahitian drum style???

please...

a HUGE drum circle? some guitar or uke? fire dancing? a pig burned in the ground? carving or tapa demo? a virgin sacrifice ritual? facial or tribal henna tattoos? shrunken heads? fish recipes? anything that suggest that the museum had considered what "TIKI" is, has been, and always will be

what SADDENS most ...EVERYONE - LA's BIGGEST museum gives first man the atrophied end of the stick because tiki is widely considered "EASY"... the largest part of tiki is respecting the ancestry history and hertage that is our own blood and in doing so showing ourselves the self repect that we all deserve...what is EASY about that???

we should be more serious about the authenticity of our daily tribal activity as well as our annual ceremonial customs... the first men to walk upright demonstrated tiki style for their youth's sake and somehow managed to NOT look like a gang of BOOZATHONERS... can we?

i feel SO much better...(sigh)
