N nicktiki Grand Member (3 years) San Diego, CA Joined: Jun 05, 2004 Posts: 365	N nicktiki Posted posted on Fri, Dec 10, 2004 8:55 PM I'm officially announcing a new publication, Tiki Magazine. Some of you may have heard about it. I didn't want to make an official announcement before everything was in order. The magazine is going to be standard size (8 and 1/2" by 11"), full color cover, b/w on the inside with a color center section. I've been working hard on this for awhile. There are many TCers contributing to the magazine. There are so many talented people in the Tiki world and our hope is to spotlight them and give additional exposure. The first issue is coming out in April of 2005. The website is http://www.tikimag.net. The magazine will start out quarterly and if it is well received will come out more frequently. Subscriptions are available. One year (4 issues) for $12. Make check or money order payable to Tiki Magazine and send to 5663 Balboa Ave. Suite 398 San Diego, CA 92111. This magazine is being done with great passion and respect for the Tiki culture and all of you. Thank you to all the TCers who have helped in this project. I hope this makes your holiday season even brighter.

I know I'll be putting an ad in every issue. It's a NO-BRAINER. I know this will be a quality magazine and a great place to market our creations, art, music, services, etc. http://www.fallingcocos.com [ Edited by: mean gene on 2004-12-11 15:02 ]

Anyone we know? Sounds interesting. Is it a fanzine type thing or more of a moneymaking venture? Who's behind it? Who's providing the finance? Where is it going to be sold? The website doesn't give out that much info. Sorry to sound like a suspicious arse, but it's a little difficult to gauge what angle you're coming from. I'm sure the secrecy is more to do with the fact that you don't want anyone else to steal the idea, but now that the mag is out in the open, perhaps you could fill us in a bit more. Trader Woody
P PolynesianPop Tiki Socialite Corona, Ca Joined: Mar 25, 2002 Posts: 2371	P PolynesianPop Posted posted on Sat, Dec 11, 2004 10:14 AM I talked to Nick last week for some time about this new mag. I don't think its going to be any kind of "flash in the pan to make a buck" kind of operation. Its going to have some cool regular features - with articles by some of our very own here on TC. I won't divulge the details because I don't want to step on anybody's toes but I can say that I think we'll all be pleased!
H Humuhumu Member San Francisco Joined: Aug 22, 2002 Posts: 3691	H Humuhumu Posted posted on Sat, Dec 11, 2004 11:10 AM I also had the opportunity to learn more from nicktiki about his new magazine, not because I'm anything special, but only because I happened to be in Tiki-Ti at the right time and struck up conversation with the right stranger. :) When we spoke, his concerns about keeping some of the details quiet had to do with making sure this cake is fully cooked before he serves it. This is a fun project mounted by a true tikiphile, and I look forward to seeing it.
MG MEAN GENE Member San Diego Joined: Jun 09, 2004 Posts: 389	MG MEAN GENE Posted posted on Sat, Dec 11, 2004 11:16 AM I know that Nick does not expect to make a profit on the first issue and is forking out a lot out of his own pocket to do this. He's doing the magazine for his love of Tiki and to help us all and to spread the word. The magazine will spotlight Tiki bars, artists, carvers, bands and much more, but he needs to sell ads and subscriptions to make it possible. It's going to be great and I will help out any way I can.
TW Trader Woody Member Tiki Manor, Forest of Bowland,UK Joined: Mar 25, 2002 Posts: 2301	TW Trader Woody Posted posted on Sat, Dec 11, 2004 11:47 AM OK - Great! I guess that's the deal when you kick off a project - keep it hush hush to avoid anyone stealing the idea and risk suspicion when it kicks off or go the other way and allow less scrupulous types to rip off the grand concept. If my fellow Tiki Centralites back it, that's good enough for me. I'll help out from here in Europe if you need me. Trader Woody

N nicktiki Grand Member (3 years) San Diego, CA Joined: Jun 05, 2004 Posts: 365	N nicktiki Posted posted on Sun, Dec 12, 2004 4:16 PM Thank you for the kind words and encouragement. TCers have been great. Rest assured, I'm not in this to make a quick buck. I'm doing this because I dig tiki. I want to create a cool, fun magazine that we all want to read. I'm from San Diego and have some commitments throughout SoCal to carry the magazine. There have also been some places in other states who would like to carry it as well. If you have a businesses or know of one who would like to carry it please contact me. Last night, I was at M Modern Gallery to cover Miles Thompson's Tell Tale Tiki art show. That will be in the first issue. The first cover was done by Derek Yaniger and there will be a feature on him as well. That's all I can say about content for now. This project is being totally financed by me and we all know that teachers don't make a lot of money. Subscriptions are available. Please check my initial post. I'm updating my website to include this info. Mahalo. [ Edited by: nicktiki on 2004-12-12 16:16 ]

TW Trader Woody Member Tiki Manor, Forest of Bowland,UK Joined: Mar 25, 2002 Posts: 2301	TW Trader Woody Posted posted on Wed, Dec 15, 2004 4:44 PM Good luck with the mag. I know there will be a few of us over in Europe and other destinations outside of the US that'll be interested in subscribing too. I know finding out about postage costs can be very dull, so it might be worth getting in touch with the people at Barracuda mag. I subscribe via them, and the price seems reasonable. They may well distribute the mag too, as they love Tiki, cars, and girls, and have their newstand full of car mags and not much else. Anyway, get the postage stuff out of the way early and it's like investing in decent insulation. Boring, but you'll feel the benefit each year hence. Trader Woody

I definitely want Tiki Magazine available for our friends in Europe. I'll try to hammer out shipping, etc. before Christmas. Thanks for the heads up. Nicktiki

Reasonably priced, interesting articles, cool art and photography, such the deal. Okay, okay, I'm a little biased. Okay, a lot biased. Anyway, Happy Holidays to all from Tiki Magazine.

There's going to be a different band featured in each issue. They've already got the first band lined up. I'm sure The Smokin M's will get in there too. Some of the bands are also putting ads in. http://www.fallingcocos.com [ Edited by: MEAN GENE on 2005-01-07 09:58 ]
