Aloha! I arrived here on these shores recently through the six degrees of tiki...
*A miniaturized version of the "Book of Tiki" that I bought at Old Navy years ago, which resurfaced during a recent move
*A forlorn touristy souvenier book from Disneyland that I discovered at an antique store (on sale no less?!?)
*A couple of hypnotic visits to the hawaiian islands
*Which led me to find a copy of "Tiki Magazine"
*Where I found "The Quiet Village" podcast
*From same website I found a link to this community!

But I guess growing up in Southern California, there was always had a measurably amount of Tiki in my dna anyway!!

So many of pleasant & happy memories have some link to Tiki...it is so sad to see so many of those familiar places have been torn down in the name of "modern progress"! I hope to contribute in some way in helping bring back or keep alive our links to a wonderful heritage we all share in some way :wink: mahalo!!
