Name tags seem kind of nerdy but I do require them when I'm running my own Tiki events. There had to be at least 30 TC people at the PO, several of them being key Tiki artists and musicians... "TC was representin'... NickTiki, MakeDaMug, Thor, Mr. J., Mr. & Mrs. Flaming Tiki, Atomic Tiki Punk, Jungle Ginger, HappyChi, KrisDrama, Bearded Bastard, Tobunga, Manuel, JonPaul, Marie, Tikiyaki, Kirby, BigTikiDude, Chuck Tatum, PolyPop, Tangaroa-Ru, SoccerTiki, WooHooWahine, and probably lot's more I can't remember. And yes Bruddah Bear does exists, it was good to finally meet him. (And now that I remember: Tiki Bird, UtopianDreem, Mo-Eye, Insect Dave, Tiki-Ray & Cindy, and TC Hula Girls Spike, Tiki Bong, and Lucas Vigor.) I used to just ask people "Are you Tiki Central ?" when I would encounter an unknown person sporting Aloha-wear in a Tiki joint. I'd get about a 20% hit rate on people who would even know what TC is. I'm going to get back into that habit again. And thanks for the photos, BTW !! The rest of us were not doing our Tiki duty in documenting such a great event. :( [ Edited by: JOHN-O 2011-08-09 18:20 ]
