Are you in the LA area? We're having a book signing/reception at the new Hawaiian store, Forever Hawaiian Polynesian Gifts on Wed Feb 23rd from 6 to 8 pm. Hawaiian woodcarver/tattooist Jordan Souza (http://www.JordanSouza.com or on Facebook) will be with me & we'll be able to meet with new clients, talk tattoos & visit with old friends.
