I grew up in the San Fernando Valley (Canoga Park, to be precise), which used to have as many Polynesian-themed restaurants as it now has porn studios. When I was a kid, they were where we went on Big Family Nights Out (unfortunately, I can't recall the names of any of them - if anyone wants to refresh my memory with the names of some long-lost tiki restaurants in the Valley, please do). Later on, some friends introduced me to their tiki obsession and got me a copy of Tiki Road Trip for my birthday. So, while I'm fairly new to the culture, I feel I've known tiki all my life. It speaks to my Inner Keiki, I guess. Nowadays I'm in San Diego, which I've called home for almost 10 years. I work as editor of a magazine for people with disabilities. When not working, barhopping, going to punk shows, or slacking, I'm home-schooling myself in the art of mixology. My apartment's too small for a bar, but my longterm goal is to redecorate my (currently empty) balcony into my own personal oasis. I hope to get some ideas here. That's all for now. I'm glad to meet you all.
