Just read every page on this thread and must say it appears form an outsider (me) tiki means many things, from the tiki purest to the partier to someone who just wants that tropical exotic look, which is a good thing considering it is amazing anything tiki is still around after all these years.

I have to be honest and say just reading a little on TC before joining I was not sure I wanted to join, almost didn't.

It is a little intimidating, what I wanted does include things that are not tiki. The reason I did join is because some/many of the things I liked are tiki and I would just take any crap or just be ignored for it.

The big reason I joined is because I thought it was the least I could do after "borrowing or going to borrow " many ideas I have seen here. Also the passion, right or wrong it's really in the long run just different opinions of how they perceive tiki.

BUT I must say I was welcomed and made to feel like part of the group even if I knew very little about real tiki.

I fall closer to the partier who wants a tropical exotic look with good drinks, just the way it is but who knows what it may grow into ?

Thanks
