My husband (CephaloTiki) and I have been TikiCentral members since 2009, but don't often make posts and are just now getting around to introducing ourselves. We live in landlocked Kansas City (the Missouri side). CephaloTiki has been a tiki fan since the '90s, but we didn't become tiki-obsessed until around 2008, which coincided with our newfound love of midcentury modern design and pop culture in general. We now have a bamboo bar in our basement overflowing with rum, a cabinet full of tiki mugs, and love trying out classic cocktail recipes (as well as those of the tiki persuasion out of Beachbum Berry's books) while listening to luxuriamusic.com or various exotica records on the turntable. I am also a semester away from a 2nd bachelor's degree (this one in graphic design) and I love Oceanic Arts in Whittier, CA so much that I did a re-design of their website for one of my projects. You can view it here: http://www.amberjennings.com/oceanicarts We're looking forward to our first Tiki Oasis in San Diego this August, and dream of the day a new tiki bar opens in our neck of the woods again. In the meantime, we hope to meet others in the area who are as tiki-obsessed as we are; perhaps get some regular backyard luaus started or meet up for Tiki Tuesdays at the R Bar.
