Heh, heh, heh. I suspected as much. I was born in 1972, so by the time I discovered punk rock in the mid-to-late 1980's, it was kind of like learning a dead language. All the bands had broken up, the albums were hard to find and only a few people shared much enthusiasm for the genre. I suppose in that regard there are some similarities to all things Tiki. Combing thrift stores and junk shops for Tiki mugs always gives me flashbacks to the days of combing independent record stores for Misfits 7-inches. I still listen to the old stuff (Ramones, Dead Kennedys, Black Flag, etc.) but have very little interest in the Sum 182's of the world.

TikiKing, the 82-ish picture was great. BTW, that's a nice fez.

TikiGoddess, I suppose you're an alumni of "THEE" Ohio State University, eh? I also spent a lot of nights at Stache's. What's your zine called?

Cheers,
