I don't think having these Tiki-cons is a bad thing, I'm just not going to attend them. Partly 'cuz everyone is like fifty years old and they look boring in the pictures.

Yep.
Like old and, like, boring. :roll:
That's why we're there: expressing the angst and ennui of our pointless, dull existences. Discussing life insurance, gout, the senior citizen homes we've picked out - the usual.
Weltschmertz. The pictures of our tiresome discussions at these Tiki-cons tell it all.

That's why I was laughing my ass off at Hukilau for SIX DAYS STRAIGHT! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Reg. Astro, pumpkin, you gotta get out more! :P You are missing out on a great deal of pleasure that life (and the tiki scene) has to offer.

Happy happy happy to no longer be in my twenties (although I wouldn't mind having the wrinkleness forehead from then),

P.S. In your defense, you're feeling what most everyone feels at some time: an affinity for people their own age. I've found in the last decade that I LOVE being with people right around my age. I have great friends both way up and way down the scale, but my best times come with folks only about 5 years up or 5 down from me. There will come a time when you'll tire of twenty-something scenes too. :wink:

P.P.S. The funny thing is that the bulk of my pals from the tiki scene are former punk rockers. We hung in the places and with the people that are now Legend. We stopped being so damned angry and negative, and learned to enjoy happy clothes, yummy drinks, and not trying to look mean or ugly. And we found Others Like Ourselves. And We congregate at Hukilau, Tiki Oasis, NETT, HotRod Hula Hop.

P.P.P.S. Have a cocktail. :drink:

Yeah, what she said! Well put Ms 'boring' Formikahini!! :lol:
Only, PPPS: have 2 cocktails, you'll need 'em to keep up with us old folk...
:drink: :drink:

:wink:
