I also agree with woofmut, the prices of junk mugs on the shelves of antique stores is way up. You can't buy a $1 mug anymore or even a $5 PMP.

When I did the first Hukilau in 2002, a friend in ATL said he saw the flier and asked, isn't the Tiki thing dead?

Now to derail this...

Getting long in the tooth and many of us are, I have started to think about death. What will happen to my websites when I am gone? Even if I paid for 20 years of domain registrations and hosting, shit happens and I have to put on my tech support hat now and again and no one will be around to do that.

Then I thought about TC and the wealth of info here. What happens when Hanford is gone? Will TC disappear within a few years? All this gone in an instant?

Modern problems.

And I am also trying to figure out what to do with all the research I have on the Mai-Kai and Donn Beach. I want to do another book after the Mai-Kai book. I dream of a complete biography of Donn. But I have stuff that no one on earth has and it should not stay on my computer and in my plastic bins. Hopefully I can give it to the right historical society at some point, but when? And do I plan for that now? My wife wouldn't know what's what on my computer.

I didn't plan to do a book, but in lots of ways, it is the culmination of over a decade absorbing everything from TC and the community. Gotta empty the bucket. Then I'll unfriend everyone on FB and stop coming here and sit by myself in my home bar and gripe about everything.... With skip... And toast Tiki David...
