Humuhumu is right - we're busy making stuff and it's summer!

Tiki is exploding. Tiki Farm has more orders now than ever before, carvers can't keep up with the demand, you can't turn around on the internet without knocking over a new Hawaiian shirt business.

The problem is, the whole Tiki movement is and always has been comprised of many groups, mostly unknown to each other until recently;

• 50's-era Poly-Pop enthusiasts
• Islanders proud of their culture
• Hawaii lovers
• Drinkers! YeeEE haw!
• Modernism historians
• Classical (Ancient Polynesia) historians
• Writers, artists, carvers, musicians, them folks
• Landscapers, architects
• Loonies

And keep in mind the really hardcore Tikiophiles are often old people (my favorites, and who we really should thank for it all) who don't know the internet from a can of shoe polish!

Just enjoy the fireworks, it's great watching the whole thing go Ka-BANG from the only available center, here on TC.
