On this next to the last day of 2002, I can't help but look back at the Tiki Central events I went to and smile.

On July 12, I knew no one except Bamboo Ben and Crazy Al (even though I didn't know him from TC). Now I am friends with a large number of like minded tiki lovers/freaks.

For me, the string of events started with the OC Mini Crawl, then a San Diego tiki trek hosted by Al and Shelly, then Bamboo Ben's Gathering of the Tribe, next up was the Big Ol Tiki Bash, followed by Baxdogs Wild-Ass Party, then the Oceanic Arts/Bahooka/Aloha Joes blow-out with TraderPup, Al, Trustar, then the Kona Lanes Tiki Bowl, another San Diego Tiki Trek with PolyPop, Al & Shelly and Doctor Z, and finally, the Mele Kalikimaka harbor cruise hosted by Uncle Arty.

I know other TC's hit even more gigs!

I can't wait for 2003 - International Tiki Day!
