okay fellow tiki fans here goes... I am pitching a new lifestye entertainment show called Lotta Living. It's based loosely on the L.A. Conservancy Modern Committee and the Lotta Living community that my cousin Futura Girl has been building, along with some Tiki Central elements thrown in. (About a year ago, I taped a test segment with Bamboo Ben and Crazy Al. And I plan to involve my friends at T.C. whenever possible and appropriate... and always spread good authentic information about tiki.) If given the chance - I will dispell the Jimmy Buffet connection :) Anyways.... I just got the call that they are gonna pick up the segment and air it on Wednesday night. The bit is they show the clip and then ask the audience if the show should get picked up. Here's where Tiki Central comes in... We need the following help: 2) PHOTOGRAPH 3) PUBLICIZE 4) CALL 5) DRINK Thanks for the grass root support. And the TIKI said, "Spread the mana across the airwaves and let the mai tais pour forth across the lands. And he saw it was good" [ Edited by: Cherry Capri on 2004-02-26 01:12 ] [ Edited by: Cherry Capri on 2004-03-18 23:43 ] |

I am getting into LA on Wed morning. This sounds like it could be pretty fun. We have been to a Tonight Show tapeing before and it was interesting. So is anyone else up for this??? TB |

If I can stay awake, I'll try to survive through Leno's brand of "humor." Here's a link to the Tonight Show's page where it looks like you can also e-mail them feedback - |

Here's some ticket info for the Tonight Show: The Tonight Show with Jay Leno/Tickets Tickets for a specific show are available the day of the show only at the NBC Ticket Box, located at NBC in Burbank, CA. The NBC Ticket Box opens at 8:00 a.m. All available tickets are distributed to the public on a first come, first-served two (2) tickets per person basis. So I'm guessing we'd need tickets before lining up in the afternoon? |

Nice move. I'm certain you'll be swept up into the torrent of Hollywood's clique - make some money - produce a killer show and then move onto your next great idea. Very very cool. |

If I can figure out da time it airs and da time its over I can call afta da show and say I'm a tiki carver from Honolulu and loved da show. As soon as they see da 808 area code on da caller ID they should know it's not a crank call. I've been blessed with some good mana lately and would love to pass some to you guys on da mainland. |

Thank you all for the mana - i am feeling it already and grinning from one earbob to the other! Thanks again everyone... mana from Big Bro Tiki! Now I'm really feeling no pain! And I haven't even had a mai tai yet tonight. Futura says show up after 9PM and we'll have some cocktails, hand out for some laughs and then watch the show at 11:30 on her large TV. |

Aw, that sucks! Oh well, perhaps now with a bit more advance notice, more people will be able to attend the eventual taping. On the plus side, we still have something to celebrate tonight -- Tiki Bob just made it into town! Who's up for Tiki-Ti? |

Maybe you need to notify people who said they would call just in case they don't watch but still call??? They might miss the bump announcement. |

I think you should just press gang a group of So Cal tikiphiles into showing up @ the Tonight Show ticket line every day, even after they show your clip... |

I just heard from Swanky - our pitch was edited out... :( What do you all say - Do we start a write-in campaign asking why wasn't the show mentioned? Here's their email address: [ Edited by: Futura Girl on 2004-02-27 00:46 ] |

I'm thinking everyone should watch "Animal House" then write em' !!! "What? Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!" |

So did it run???? Did I miss it? Was it the same type of segment where the audience is asked if the show should be picked up or not? Did it get picked up?????? |

Caught the bit from last night's show on satellite just now (glad it came on in the first 20 minutes). i'm not one of those "Hollywood types," so if the show is "picked up," what does that mean? Also, congrats on being the least ignorant looking/acting people in that segment... |
