Hi, Lucas, you sound similar to me. My office is Tiki decor, and I listen variously to exotica and Hawaiian during the course of my day, as well as in the car (though not exclusively)...could be Arthur Lyman one moment, and Don Ho or "Bruddah Iz" the next. For me, it's all good...guess I wouldn't be considered a Tiki "purist", it's a pretty fun thing for me without any seriousness. I wear Hawaiian shirts (I'm guessing that's not done by too many here) and I play a pineapple-shaped ukelele (eek!). I searched, but there are no "Tiki" Windows themes that I could find...but there are tropical beach scenes, Hawaiian scenes, etc. I guess I just wasn't aware that I was violating protocol in this community, in not understanding that a forum named "General Tiki" specifically meant only postings about mid-century American Tiki only - particularly in light of a close-in-time thread within that very forum about Mardi Gras. (I would think that would be WAY "beyond"!) I frequent two Polynesian joints here in North Jersey - Lee's Hawaiian Islander in Lyndhurst, and Chan's Dragon Inn in Ridgefield...have some nice pics from each. Our family also stays at the Tahiti Inn when we vacation down in Ocean City, NJ. Anyway, your generous welcome was much appreciated - mahalo (again Hawaiian, not Tiki, but now at least I know I'm in the right place to say that!).
