I've been writing a blog on local history for six years and have finally branched out to start a SECOND blog on a subject that's near and dear to me: Tiki!

http://tikilagoon.blogspot.com/

I have a list as long as my arm of ideas for future posts.

At the moment I sort of see it being about three main kinds of posts:

  1. Strange historical tidbits about the Poly-Pop phenomenon that haven't been covered much (or at all) in the past. These will require some research. (One I'm working on now is about a "lost" Polynesian theme-park attraction and includes some previously unseen concept art.)

  2. My own South Seas-related ramblings, including photos and articles about cool tiki stuff I've seen or experienced over the years.

  3. The occasional post intended for tiki newbies.

Of course, in the end I'll just have to see what works. In the meantime, I'm open to suggestions. (At least within reason!)

I should say up front that this blog isn't specifically about SoCal tiki, but I'm afraid it will be slanted that way simply because that's my neighborhood. But I'll include interesting stuff from elsewhere whenever I can.
