Why don't you guys just join together and create a float for the Tikiphiles of Alameda?

All seven or eight of us? Although a great idea, there aren't enough of us on the Island to pull that off. Remember, a bunch, if not most, of the hardcore Forbidden Island regulars hail from nearby abodes in Oakland and San Leandro. The local politics here in Alameda are so nit-picky, that I truly believe that a "Tikiphiles Of Alameda" or "Friends Of Tiki" type group wouldn't fly if most of the people involved weren't from A-Town. Remember, this is more like a midwestern or Jersey Shore type town.

For me, I'd prefer to see a Forbidden Island float. It would be more self explanatory than spending all afternoon/week/month explaining to everyone around here what a "Friends Of Tiki" float and "Tiki" are.

Oh hey, can we maybe start a new thread for this new topic of a float for next year's Alameda 4th of July parade?
