If you thought the whole Tiki phenomenon was cooling off, you’d be wrong! Love ‘em or leave ‘em, they’re out in force this summer. David van Alphen’s DvA Gallery is having its Anniversary Gala Tiki event starting this weekend and running till July 21st, featuring dozens of your favourite Tiki artists and their work. I bet Dave’ll even mix a few Mai Tais if you ask him nicely.

And the second edition of Tiki Road Trip is out this month too:

James Teitelbaum and Santa Monica Press are pleased to announce the June, 2007 release of Tiki Road Trip 2, the follow-up to James Teitelbaum’s hugely successful book, Tiki Road Trip (Santa Monica Press, 2003).

Tiki Road Trip is your best – and only – comprehensive travel guide for those seeking a south seas adventure in the big city, an island escape from the urban jungle, or the location of the nearest metropolitan luau. At 360 pages (compared to 280 in the old edition) and packed with new images, this edition of Tiki Road Trip is a huge leap forward from the previous edition, and is absolutely mandatory summer reading.

Tiki Road Trip 2 is available at all bookstores, on-line retailers, or directly from the author via this link. Also, join Tiki Road Trip’s MySpace here: http://www.myspace.com/tradervics
