Since I'm a newbie at this and I've never been to any kind of a tiki event, or even a luau in my 55 years, I'd sure like to see how it all works before I jump into the firepit and try to organize anything myself. Besides, I"m finding that since following TC for awhile now that my choice of decor isn't really considered "tiki"....it's more like "tacky", so I don't feel confident enough to host anything other than for my family. They cut me some slack for being slightly nuts. I'm sort of amazed how having my 16th birthday dinner at Trader Vic's in St. Louis in 1966 made such an impression that I built a tiki bar in my basement 40 years later just to revive the relaxing untroubled dreamy atmosphere. (wasn't allowed to drink that night but they did bring me a nifty "shirley temple" with a gardenia float.) Ahhhhh, the 60's. BAH ha ha ha ha!! LavaLounger
