Awesome stuff. I love the look of it.

I wasn't able to find out how to get the print. Got a quick link you could shoot up here?

Thanks and have a GREAT time at the London Luau. Wish I were there.

Aloha Pablus,

tikiracer did an outstanding job on this. It's awesome to work with him. Hopefully, this won't be our last collaboration.

The print will first go on sale at the London Luau this weekend. After that, we'll sell any remaining copies to the wider public. If you're interested in a print, just shoot me a PM and I'll start a waiting list for after the luau.

Also, I'll probably have a few copies with me at Hukilau!!!

I'll continue to blog about the Tiki London locations for the rest of this week. Check the Tiki Chris blog for regular updates:

That print is very cool!

I have been to Gerry's on Old Compton Street!! Our hotel concierge sent us to Gerry's last time we were in town, as we were looking for bottles of Pisang Ambon to take home with us & Gerry's didn't disappoint - we brought 4 bottles to bring home + a bottle of Absinthe. I kept the info on the place for next time we're in town, as I didn;t want to forget where it was. I remember kicking myslef later for not taking a picture of the window with all of the bottles & signs - an unique sight, for sure!! Very cool to see it included here :)

Gerrys is THE place in London to pick up those hard to find bottles of booze n mixers.

Remember though...No credit cards taken.

The (unconfirmed) word on the street is that they now take credit cards!

Hey how cool is that guys,gerrys was very cool last time we went (a couple of years ago) we got a tour out the back to look for for 151 rum,no luck as it not allowed to be sold over here,but scored some on our last trip to the states,see you all at the luau on friday!!

I got busted by customs bringing 151 back last time! The guy asked if I was carrying it "in case the plane ran out of gas" but he didn't confiscate it... and we decided to risk getting stopped again and hung on to it.

Party-time! YAY!
