Aloha everyone!
I've been lurking here for a few weeks & thought I would introduce myself. My name is Eric & I've been casually collecting tiki bits for a few years.
My first taste of things tiki was at the Kahiki several years ago, what a way to get your feet wet, huh?! I made many trips to the Kahiki & was crushed at the news it was closing. My girlfriend took me there for my birthday on August 25, 2000 which happened to coincide with the closing night & I noticed the posters for the Tikinews party the following day. Again I was crushed to not have known about the party & was not able to attend. I looked up the Tikinews site & found links to others with interests similar to my own. You can imagine my delight when I found Tiki Central!!
I'm also into building hotrods, restoring vintage arcade machines, & collecting vintage bar goodies.
Thanks to all for the great info so far!
Eric
