There are so many facets of Tiki - it's a way to decorate your house, it's what you eat and drink, it's what you wear out of the house, it's where you spend your free time.

Right on....I've been assessing the whole Tiki Event thing, and, although I'm an Avid Tikiphile for at least 10 years, I never attended events because I just thought to myself "I don't drink, what's in it for a guy who doesn't drink ?"...

Well, you nailed it....Tiki is many faceted : Art, Architecture, Music, fashion, interior decorating, Mixology, Urban Archaeology, history, culture, all of it. Yes, it mostly revolves around all of those things from a certain era....it's basically retro lifestyle. And yes, there are lots of Rockabilly folks in the Tiki scene, as well as ex punk rockers, surfers, metalheads, freaks,geeks and all other types.
To the 29 year old who doesn't wanna hang with us old farts...your loss brah. Not everyone is old and surely, NO one acts like it at an event like Hukilau and Oasis.

Besides, Bamboo Ben (in his 40's) will party you and your 20-something buds under the table. :D
