Here's the link that showcases Donella and Joe's work.
By the way, you can preview 2 of Donella's prints (Fire, Akiko) that will be door prizes at the Waitiki party on the 14th.

Great article, but what's up with the bit about Don the beachcomber inventing the Mai Tai ???
It was infact Victor Bergeron - better know as Trader Vic, of course...

dirty stinkers...

I know its probably been discussed but what is the true story behind who invented the Mai-Tai, as I have abook that claims it is also Don the Beachcomber (its in the European version of Dale degroffs 'Craft of the cocktail'). I'll post the story if anyones interested

What a great article Tiki Bree! Great photos in the little sideshow boxes. Thanks for sharing!!!

Thanks, Kanaka!

This is a first for Central Fla. This town takes a long time catching up with the rest of modern society despite the efforts of many creative people.
I applaud the writer for her sincere effort to bring tiki culture awareness to the masses.
