Wow, It's hard to discribe the joy at finding other people with a love for tiki. And what great people - talanted, fun, and damn creative! Everyone I've met through Tiki events has been really nice folks. I just wish I had found all this sooner. I'll tell you, my life was sort of like I had driven down a dead end road. Think I was a bit burned out. I kind of lost the "love for life" thing, ya know? I had always had a love for tikis, so I talked my partner into naming our new beach towel company something with "Tiki" in it. So we made Tiki Shark, Inc. We got busy 24/7 working our butts off struggeling with all the small company problems all small start ups face. And, I had known about the cool retro thing going on, but... Then, a friend gave me TBOT. And then I picked up the 1st copy of Tiki Magazine. Then I found the Tiki News. Then I found Tiki Central. And Munktiki, and Tikifarm, and the Lucky Tiki, and Shag! I couldn't believe it! There was a whole tiki underground - that wasn't even underground anymore! It's a full on Tiki Pop Culture! It's so great to be a part of Tiki culture. I feel so damn lucky! I mean, I went to a Tiki Themed Drive-In loaded with the hottest cars and the coolest people and watched The Ghastly Ones rock live! How Freaking great is that?! Anyways, THANK YOU Tiki Central, and King Kukulele, and Otto, and Nick, and Tiki Tony, and Crazy Al, and Swamp Fire, and 8 Ball, everyone in the tiki culture. My life is now a better thing because of you.
