Here's a sneak peak of the new cover created by THOR showcasing the feature article "Tiki in Comics" by Matt Rios. A great article blending the two worlds. There will also be a print available of the cover art at the event. Hope to see everyone there! [ Edited by: nicktiki 2011-08-01 22:23 ] [ Edited by: nicktiki 2011-08-01 22:25 ]

I'm almost ashamed to admit to that being my first visit to the Purple Orchid, but I aim to correct that problem in short order. What a fun bar. Great tunes (was only there for the first Hula Girls set but it was 100% fun, as usual), great people, and a cool new issue of Tiki Magazine. Mahalo all around. kevin

J JOHN-O Tiki Socialite Dogtown, USA Joined: May 16, 2008 Posts: 2721	J JOHN-O Posted posted on Sat, Aug 6, 2011 11:18 AM Fun times !! The HGs burned down the house with two great sets. :) In addition to their Tiki-inspired Hulabilly originals, it was cool to see them cover mid-century classics from Dick Dale, Elvis Presley, and Frankie "Sea Cruise" Ford. Also Dinah and Judy were smokin' on the new lighted go-go boxes. The Purple Orchid is a great place for these types of shows. It has a Tiki intimate layout but space to chill out towards the back. Also the acoustics are really good too (although I was right up front). The bar staff was hustlin' to keep the drinks flowing. Thanks Dave & Rebecca !! I gave up trying to take pictures since it was so dark and crowded. TC was representin'... NickTiki, MakeDaMug, Thor, Mr. J., Mr. & Mrs. Flaming Tiki, Atomic Tiki Punk, Jungle Ginger, HappyChi, KrisDrama, Bearded Bastard, Tobunga, Manuel, JonPaul, Marie, Tikiyaki, Kirby, BigTikiDude, Chuck Tatum, PolyPop, Tangaroa-Ru, SoccerTiki, WooHooWahine, and probably lot's more I can't remember. And yes Bruddah Bear does exists, it was good to finally meet him. Great Tiki Mag. Maybe the BEST ever. :D

Got to meet some new faces & my drink (A Ginger Bimbo) was smoking, literally!
T Tangaroa-Ru Member Surf's Up, Los Angeles! Joined: Aug 04, 2006 Posts: 413	T Tangaroa-Ru Posted posted on Sat, Aug 6, 2011 12:25 PM You know it was a good party when you wake up and it takes a minute to figure out where you are. Luckily I discovered I was back home. But why there was a slice of cherpumple cake in my bathtub, and a leopard-print speedo in my car shall remain a mystery. I speak partially (as only one of the writers of Tiki Magazine) to say sincere mahalo to all who celebrated the latest issue at this shindig. Rebecca and Dave are the best hosts in the world, and their Purple Orchid reflects that spirit of welcome and fun. Congratulations on ten years of Tikifying that section of Los Angeles known as El Segundo! Nick Camara, thank YOU for continuing to put out a magazine that unifies this aloha-filled community! Cover artist Tom Thordarson, your mind-boggling talents continue to thrill us all. To everyone who was in this issue, there's a reason. You're doing wonderful things with Tiki that we all enjoy and you deserve the attention. And for all of you who enjoy Tiki Magazine, it's past and future would not be possible without your support. Thank you for buying Tiki Magazine. And to our advertisers, heartfelt appreciation to you all. Without advertising, Tiki Magazine could not exist. That being said, EVERYONE WHO LOVES TIKI MAGAZINE, PLEASE CONSIDER TAKING OUT AN AD IN THE NEXT ISSUE. You DO NOT have to have a Tiki-themed business to advertise! Your ad will attract the attention of 17,000 (yes, Tiki Magazine is that big!) local and international like-minded readers. You may think, "Oh, I only run a little home-based jewelry business" or "Why would my bicycle repair shop be in a Tiki-themed magazine?" Well, the Tiki community is about being part of an extended ohana, and we support each other. That's part of the aloha spirit -- from sharing ideas on Tiki Central, to group invitations to each other's home Tiki bars, to opening up our hotel rooms to total strangers at our event room crawls... we are there for each other. If 17,000 people see your bicycle-repair business ad, and know that you're "Tiki ohana", they will make an effort to do business with you. And you will be playing an important role in keeping Tiki Magazine going. Looking forward to seeing many of you very soon at Tiki Oasis! Aloha and all the good stuff that goes with that word, Kari Hendler [ Edited by: Tangaroa-Ru 2011-08-06 12:29 ] [ Edited by: tangaroa-ru 2011-08-07 00:08 ] [ Edited by: tangaroa-ru 2011-08-07 09:37 ] [ Edited by: Tangaroa-Ru 2011-08-07 23:57 ]

TS Tiki Slob Member Tiki Torrance, CA Joined: Mar 17, 2011 Posts: 96	TS Tiki Slob Posted posted on Mon, Aug 8, 2011 4:26 PM Dug the show Hula Girls! Dug The Purple Orchid. Dug the Mai Tai and Sex On The Beach...a little much. The next morning, my eyes didn't exactly track with my head for a couple of hours. It took extra coffee to get stable. It was great to meet the Tiki Central folks and some of the locals that were at the Orchid and not aware of what was really happening. They expected to come have a quiet time not really getting the Tiki Lounge thing. One lady even asked me, "So what's this Tiki thing all about anyway?" I told her to go buy a magazine 'cuz I was in no shape to expound on that subject short of showing her my hula girl/tiki tattoo. I bought the past issue and the current release of Tiki Magazine. These were my first reads of the mag. Great stuff. Thanks Nick! Thanks Tom for autographing the cover. Thanks Spike for the great Tbird discussion during the break. I got a picture of me (and a fantastic Mai Tai) with Nick and Tom but who is that Kat between them with the tounge? I totally missed that. Anyway, Spike, here are some pictures. I just shot random pics and kind of lost track of what was going on with them. I have a few more if anyone is interested. Nice Go-Go boxes by the way. Tiki Slob Me, Tom, Nick and "that guy" The Girls and Spike More of the girls and Spike Jammin' on the Bass Lookin' from the front door The Go-Go boxes

Probably even more significant is the fact he plays bass for both Tikiyaki Orchestra and the Insect Surfers. He's a Tiki/Surf Revival Renaissance man to be sure. :)
