October 2003

On Friday, October 24th, Quimby's bookstore in Chicago's Wicker Park hosted a book signing and Tiki party. Duke and Amy Carter were on hand to sign copies of Tiki Quest: Collecting the Exotic Past.

The event at Quimby's also marked the debut of the official Tiki Quest tiki mug! Hand-crafted by Munktiki and designed collaboratively by Duke and Paul at Munktiki, the mug pays homage to the carvings of tiki visionary Andres Bumataty. Click here for a preview of the official Tiki Quest mug.

Here are a few pictures from the event:
