Interesting, MM.

I was into the "island" thing since I was a little boy. (Yes there was such a time.)
I got my first tiki very young and was indoctrinated into Trader Vics and Kahiki and all that.

However, Tiki Central helped give shape to the mish mash of visions that were lingering around.
It helped give purpose to what was already a very nice Polynesian collection and it gave focus to the design of the Lagoon Lounge which was already in progress when I discovered you freaks.

In fact, it was in the decision to build this lounge that I began searching for ideas and found tikicentral.com and just started looking at photos and thinking - "it CAN look like a Trader Vics!"

So, to answer your question.
I might be reading more.
But I consider the time spent here worthy investment into the friendships I have developed and the pleasure I've had.

I might be doing more music.
But maybe I'd just be watching more crappy TV and wishing for some cool hobby to fill the space.
