Grew up in Sacramento (home of the now-defunct Zombie Hut where I celebrated my 22nd birthday) and then lived in San Francisco for 10 years (visiting the Tonga Room and Trad'R Sams pretty often). Moved to NYC where I didn't really tiki, but did swing and jive. Now I'm in LA, living 1 block from the world famous Tiki Ti. I'm there alot. I got back INTO Tiki thru my friend, Dan, from Chicago (a regular at the Hukilau and Chicago tiki events). He gave me a signed copy of Tiki Road Trip, which I love. I don't really "collect" too much tiki since I'm a middle-aged law studen living on student loans but have recently starting collecting mugs. The whole time I was in Kauai 2 years ago, I kept yelling "tiki!" much to my travel companion's chagrin. Aloha.
