Being a noobie I decided to chime in here. I basically came here to see if I could find some inside info on the goings on at the Hukilau, that I'll be attending for the 1st time ever. I will be staying with family so there wasn't really anything there for me. However, I loved seeing the fantastic pictures of tikis, tiki bars, etc. and getting info on how to make and find things tiki, recipes and music. I was one of those idiots on the Bilge. I had great fun....sorry, heehee. It seemed that when I did post anywhere else hardly anyone ever responded. I'm not complaining, I realized that I didn't really have anything good to contribute. Hell, I thought you all would be interested in tiki clings for your windows for god's sake. What did I know?! I had no idea what this site was about - meaning serious tiki people that are way talented and have a real relationship with each other and the tiki. I think that is awesome. I personally am interested in new tiki stuff - at affordable prices. My hats off to all of you for your passion and your knowledge. I can tell you all enjoy it and have such fun sharing. From what I've read Hanford is 'the man'. I hear such respect for him from you all. Seems he started all this. I'm perfectly happy being able to read about, get info about and see pictures about tiki related things. Whatever Hanford and the members decide, I hope works for you. Thanks for letting me join and get some great ideas for the tiki bar we'll be building in the future. I believe I've gone on long enuf....
Edit: One more thing - if non-members are barred from the 2 forums I will miss the great 'out loud' laughs I had reading some of those posts. What a clever, witty and entertaining bunch!

Have a drink on me...
