Description
The following is my lame attempt to do one of those panoramic dense crowd scenes Bill Elder and Jack Davis from MAD Magazine are well known for.
This is based on an actual party/convention called TIKI OASIS. An annual event for Tiki/American Polynesian fans, artists and collectors alike to gather, hang out, talk shop and generally have some Mai Tai-based fun. Kinda like San Diego Comic Con only with booze and without the comic books, annoying media types and B. O. raising from the rafters when the fire marshals locks everybody inside the convention centerβ¦oh, and the nose bleed prices.
β¦or like The Burning Man for Tiki Headsβ¦only done indoors with air conditioning and without setting the hotel on fireβ¦.you get the idea!
The scene here is, more or less, what goes on a Saturday night at The Oasis gathering; βmore or lessβ as I sadly never been to this convention. It doesnβt even help that I have a major obsession with βTikiβ and hoard my old Tiki News zine collection like a tweaker.
Anyways, this also contains a cameo by three hosts of the funkiest radio show this side of WFMU, βThe Molotov Cocktail Hourβ with (in appearance in this piece) Secret Agent Lotus, Cyrano and Senor Amor. If youβre familiar with the show, you know who and where they are in here. If not, check out their web site at themolotovcocktailhour.com. Oh, and thereβs a fire breathing mermaid in a shopping cart. That should make you mermaid freaks happy.
Happy Tiki, yβall,
