FYI, Combustible Edison is about to tour in support of their latest
Sub Pop album, THE IMPOSSIBLE WORLD. The tour kicks off with a bang
with a special Tiki Wonderland event at the Kahiki, one the most
elaborate and enormous vestiges of the Tiki Exotica craze left in
existence. (The main dining room, a "village" of thatched huts before
a multi-story Tiki god head with a flaming fireplace mouth, is branded
"The Quiet Village.")
ComEd will be doing a lengthy live set in the basement lounge of the
Kahiki in Columbus, OH, preceeded by a grand Tiki feast with the band
on October 24, 1998. Tickets are available for just the concert, the
concert and the meal, OR, the concert, the meal, AND "The Magical
Millionaire's Tour." We're chartering a tour bus from Akron to
Columbus, with The Millionaire as your tour guide. In addition to The
Millionaire's witty banter, bus riders will enjoy music from classic
reissues from Scamp (Martin Denny, Peter Thomas, etc.) and Rykodisc
(Arthur Lyman) and have the opportunity to win reissue CDs from said
labels. The return trip will feature Edisonic video programming.
If you've been meaning to travel to the Kahiki, NOW is the time to
cash in those frequent flyer miles! If you're already within
reasonable driving distance, it's unlikely anything else you may plan
could possibly be more important. :-)
For more information, copies of the event "travel brochure" and a
mini-poster/flyer in PDF form are on the Net at:

The brochure file is kinda big (412K or so), but worth every byte!
(You'll need to have the free Adobe Acrobat Reader installed)
To create your own "travel brochure," print page 2 on the back of page
1, and fold the longways-oriented page into vertical thirds (as if you
were folding a letter) with the right third of page 1 forming the
front. Our physical printed copies are printed on a sunny, fruity
yellow paper stock.
In addition to mail order, tickets will be available as of Sept. 26
through Quonset Hut stores in northeast Ohio, and logistics are being
ironed out with Mark from Evolution Control Committee for tickets in
the Columbus area.
I'm helping a local promoter on this venture. I'll be happy to field
e-mails (he presently doesn't have e-mail access) and I could probably
answer your questions, but ultimately it's his show. If you wish to
call him directly, call John Beers at Sparkleworld Productions, (330)
535-2958. Due to the extremely limited number of tickets (140 capacity
for the dinner, 45 available bus seats), it would be a good idea to
call and confirm their availability before sending off for them.

Hello 41-
This sounds incredible! Is there anybody that is driving to this from the
northeast? Please let me know if so. I know this is a stab in the dark, but
my car won't make it.
Thanks,
Adam
