Bigbrotiki, thanks for mentioning the stark realities I will face. Though not as prolific as SoCal events, its good to see there are events happening in FL, it just looks like I'll be doing a heck of a lot more driving.

McStagger, thanks for the background information. I knew Wayne hired "apprentices", I just never took the time to put 2+2 together to be the root cause of the proliferation of pineapple design motifs seen in Florida tikis.

Rarotongan, I don't want to get into a semantics battle with anyone, especially with me being so new to TC. I think the generalization of "redneck" was not meant to be taken as all inclusive to Floridians, but rather in jest. I came to FL when I was 3, so I consider myself a native. Californians enjoy boasting about their climate and how they can surf, snow ski and visit the desert all in one day. Floridians can surf, water ski, scuba dive (without a 7mm suit), watch sea turtles lay/hatch eggs, go 4x4 muddin', see awesome pollution-free sunrises and enjoy common sub-$1 drafts. If all of that is redneck, sign me up, and give me a Bocephus hat.
