It's not all about partying, ya know... "Paul Gauguin’s years in Tahiti produced his most powerful and mysterious canvases, full of brilliant color and exotic subjects. This international exhibition traces Gauguin’s career from his departure for Tahiti, his “studio of the tropics” in 1891, until his death in the remote Marquesa Islands in 1903. This dazzling exhibition received rave reviews in Paris. Don’t miss your chance to see “Gauguin Tahiti” at its only U.S. stop—at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston."

I can pick up a program for you, if you like. It might not be until mid-May, which is when I have plans to be in Boston. ~ tg

(different time, different place) Just the facts. The only show is in Boston? That sucks, I'd love to see it over here on the west side. Now back to my crow.

I am surprised though, it does seem that we have no Bostonians on Tiki Central? A town that brought forth Jonathan Richman and houses the Museum of Bad Art must have some Tiki agents in waiting behind it's red brick facades.

I'll see if they will go, in my place, take photos (if allowed) and grab all the free goodies possible. I'll call today to find out... is the chowder really that good? I'm a vegitarian and I still eat the "chowdah" everytime I'm back there. "Hey, at least I'm housebroken." [ Edited by: Polynesiac on 2004-03-09 12:05 ] [ Edited by: Polynesiac on 2004-03-09 12:06 ]

I convinced them that going, absorbing all the artistic information and grabbing loads of free stuff would help out my carvings in addition to satisfying your curiousity. I'll let you know if they decide to go. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. A town that brought forth Jonathan Richman YEAH! Jonathan Richman rawks! Let's also not forget the musical giants SSD, The Freeze, the FU's and (drumroll please...) GANG GREEN!

I have a roommate who sends me my mail, but cannot sign for registered mail. It's best to send me stuff with regular mail, so it just gets dropped off. Thank you so much for sending it, I am sorry I am in exile. (..and I am MOST sorry that I cannot attend the Hukilau, AGAIN %$&@!!!)
