I've posted a few things since joining, but haven't done this yet, so I'll take this opportunity as I know a proper introduction in important. My name is George, I'm fortunate enough to live in Oakland CA (I love this town!), and I've been into tiki for about 8 years. It all started with a flea market find, the Trader Vic's Suffering Bastard mugs, bought them for a $1 each, and the urban archeology began (that same seller had the decanter as well, but I didn't buy it...). My girlfriend and I, whom I call Face (hence my screen name, and the name of our bar at home), have since been frequenting the local watering holes that we're so fortunate to have nearby, Forbidden Island, Conga Lounge, and Trader Vic's Emeryville. When we moved to our new place in Oakland in July of this year, we had an extra room, and decided to make it a tiki bar/adventurer's lounge, it's adorned with tropical and ethnic items from all over the work, and will also have up photos of friends and family and art when it's finished. As I said, I have posted a bit, but will likely lurk more than participate, as I love seeing the contributions and information here. This place is an immense resource as well, I really enjoy it!
