Oh, and how can I forget kingstiedye - he's also in Sacramento, and probably has one of the biggest tiki mug collections around, as well as other cool tiki things. Over 1,258 mugs in his Ooga Mooga collection as of today, and growing.

Also, there's pariartspaul. And danlovestikis. In fact, there's quite a few hard core tikiphiles in the Sacramento area. One of the local news stations did a story on danlovestikis, and here's a link:

There was a Tiki Central Sacramento crawl last December, and a lot of Sacramento tiki folks attended:

TikiHula has an amazing collection of tiki. He had a jaw-dropping tiki room in his apartment when he lived in Santa Clara, called the Kapili Room, complete with lightning and thunder effect in the window, and a working Witco fountain. He also used to own one of the few Ren Clark Severed Head mugs still in existance. I can't wait to see what he's going to build out in Sacramento!

As Monkeyman mentioned above, there is also Jungle Trader, and The Drunken Hat and Tikicleen, who all are also very knowledgeable. In fact, The Drunken Hat and Tikicleen are the organizers of the annual Hooptylau, basically a tiki bar crawl that we have in the Modesto area every fall.

That's about all I can think of off the top of my head.
