I would imagine it's easy for casual readers of these pages to get the impression that all these crazy Tiki fanatics go from event to event, party to party, Tikibar to Tikibar, hangin' with their fellow Tikifolk and picking up thriftstore scores at will. But if you happen to notice where some of our members are from, you start to wonder, what kind of Tiki filled lives do these people lead. So I thought it might be interesting to hear from fellow Tiki isolationists like myself. How do you cope? What do your friends and neighbors think? What kind of stuff do you come up with to give some of those dreary evenings a little island flair? I mean, it's one thing to be wearing an Aloha shirt w/ a smile on your face in sunny SoCal or Florida, but when it's 30 degrees and it's been raining for 25 days straight, and the loggers would just as soon kick your ass as be seen drinking some fruity rum drink, things can get a little challenging.
