I am so sorry group, but I didn't get any of your messages until tonight 2/21.

AOL took all of the Tiki Central replies and dumped them into my SPAM folder....I don't know why, this hasn't happened in the past. Unless perhaps I accidentally hit the SPAM button on one of the emails and it set it permanently? Does any one know? Or how can it restore it so this doesn't happen again?

Anyway, I would still love to meet fellow Tiki collectors and the person who posted an idea about trading & collecting at an evening at Otto's has a brilliant idea.

Unfortunately, I am not available this Monday night, 2/23 and the postings listed that the main band will not be at Otto's on 2/23 and March 1 anyway.

How is March 15th for the NY gang & area?
This is the first Monday I have open and would give us a little time to organize it and figure out how many are coming.

If someone can help me co-organize it I would greatly appreciate it. I am still interested in going to Tiki Oasis, I know Caliente Tropics is long sold out as a hotel choice, but perhaps we can all talk about it and also discuss our collections, etc. It would be great to meet fellow Tiki people from my area at Otto's.

Please feel free to write me directly at my email I just created: [email protected]

It won't have any spam blocks or anything like that on that email account since I just made it.

So feel free to write with notes, comments, suggestions, etc.

I am still on the lookout for more Hawaii Kai items. I just hit paydirt as an old friend of mine didn't know I collected tiki and after I told her she told me she was holding an old menu for over 25 years in a box. It was a menu from Hawaii Kai in near mint condition! She gave it to me as a gift!!! Talk about making me happy....

Anyway, sorry to be so wordy, but let me hear from you and let's chat about March 15th at Otto's.

Mahalo,

Alan Sumac
