Family means no one is left behind. Some of the People in the Northwest behave in an elitist and exclusionary way. They knowingly freeze out some other TC'ers. You know who you are. Other folks who hang out with them may not feel the same way, but perhaps are afraid to be frozen out themselves,and let it happen. You know who you are too. I'm a sensitive soul, and it makes me sad and bruised every time. I'm not asking anyone to choose sides, or defend themselves. Tsk, tsk. Are you not aware that any posting relevant to ohana should more correctly be posted in the TC Ohana forum? I want to be a friend to anyone who shares my love of poly pop and good times together. Are'nt we all "Nerds of a feather"? What ever happened to the spirit of ALOHA??? There you go again. "Aloha," being a Hawaiian word, cannot truly be categorized with Tiki in the strictest sense. Doubly so for "Poly pop," which is simultaneously subcategorized within Tiki as well as outside it. I'm now feeling shakey about the upcomming Portland TikiKon speakeasy event. Tiki Events forum, please. I'm fairly new to TC, and it can be hard to break into a new social situation. Please , someone out there, give me a reason to feel better about this, and renew my faith in Ohanakind! Introductions: New Members Post Here thread. Jeezis! (BTW, I'm thinking about having an "uncool kids" table...) Well, perhaps you should consider posting a new thread...! _ Make me something Tripical. You know,a mai-tai,with 3 shots of rum!
