My name is David. I've been lurking for some time and enjoying my tiki fix several times a a day here at Tiki Central. My habit started way back in the mid sixties when I built a small water feature with a large lava rock, some tiki torches and a couple of rolls of bamboo fencing I bought at a place called "Palley's" in east
los Angeles .nMy lovely wife of nearly forty years has not only enabled me but actively encourages me in this vice. I suspect she's been bitten. We went to Don the Beachcomber (on McCadden Pl.) following my wifes prom in '68. I use to frequent "The Tikis" in M.P. till it went Disco. My tiki urges lay dorment for many years.A couple of years ago my grown son happened to show me some tiki mugs he'd found at a thrift store-we went to his house and he showed me quite a collection. I jumped back in with both feet. I have a free standing tiki bar (seats six) in the backyard, lotsa tiki, 150 plus mugs and have not met a Mai Tai I didn't like.( my fav is my own using the traditional T V recipe) I also have a spare bedroom( now the tiki room) filled with tiki stuff and can't control my urges to accumulate more. I introduced my brother- he really got bit and he is an active and frequent contributor (Tikivato) to t c .I have learned so much from Tiki Central- I am so glad that I finally Joined.
Mahalo,
David
