I have friends and colleagues in all age groups and think it helps to slip into any mode when it is needed. Exactly! I'm not gonna let the fact that I'm 22 get in the way of getting to know a lot of great people and have the opportunity to learn from them. :) I'm fortunate to have found such a great community of tiki lovers and great artists too! Being an animation student, it's refreshing to see a collection of varying artists. davealmost - I see what you mean about $$ being an issue to go to events...regardless I still try and make those that I can afford; not to mention you don't always have to drink at these events and can save wisely, ya know? However, not having a car puts a major dent in your plans... You can always try convincing friends with cars to go with you and then you could introduce more folks to tiki! :D
