Greetings all you new folk! I don't think I ever posted here when I signed up, so I figured I might as well take a moment now.

I'm Ryan. I live in Orange County, CA. Was a long time lurker on TC before I created an account. My love of Polynesian pop dates back to an early affinity for tropical locales and hawaiian shirts, and a fascination with fearsome stone and wood carvings seen in various places growing up. I really stumbled onto TC and a real passion for tiki muggery when I moved to SoCal and fell head over heels for the Enchanted Tiki Room. At the same time, a friend introduced me to Shag. In doing research on both, I quickly became engulfed in the world of pop Polynesia. Many dollars and drinks later, I'm still loving it! Hoping one day to create a little tiki bar in my own house. And, you'll all be invited to the inaugural party!

Aloha til then!
