Tiki Art Device Covers by Big Toe

Now you can cover your boring Apple iPhones and Motorola Razr V3 cell-phones with wild low-brow Tiki art by MySpace friend Big Toe. If it wouldn’t have been for his bulletin this would ’ve completely passed me by.

World’s Largest B-Movie Beach Party

From Tiki Events mailing list:

Will The Thrill and Monica Tiki Goddess to Host

World’s Largest B-Movie Beach Party

The town of Franklin approved using an entire parking lot for my show with THE MOON-RAYS that Saturday night – they will fill it with sand, put up a screen and we’ll have a Drive-In Beach Party smack in the middle of Indiana!

And get the double thrill-bill I chose: Elvis’s 1965 romp Girl Happy and Roger Corman’s 1957 creature feature Attack of The Crab Monsters! What links these 2 films, besides the obvious VD inference? They’re both set on the beach! Monica and I will finally be able to dance to the “Thrillville” theme as performed live by the Moon-Rays, too! Complete details below…cheers, Will

Franklin Indiana will be hosting the Second Annual B Movie Celebration September 26th thru 28th, 2008. We are asking for your help to get the word out. The Celebration will feature screenings of over 50 classic B movies, 20 Educational seminars and the World’s Largest Beach Party, featuring the music of The Moon-Rays. And we really need your help getting the word out.
