"Yes, until we all die off and our collections reseed the thrift stores and garage sales for a new generation to discover :D"

Ok I was bored and bumpin, that went well.
Not my thread, in fact MM is gone from TC.

This one up top got me thinkin how the stuff that was fetching high dollar at the time of this threads birth are not always the ones the newer? tiki folks are after, think "steve" mug.
Weird the way that went.

But also thought how I used to be into other things and not so much now, like Skateboarding, Punk music, Photography.

These things have not "gone away" but they are all much different than they were when I was into them.

All of them more mainstream back then kind of.
Not many if any Punk bars, Skateboarding is still a thing but seams not as big maybe just cuz I'm too old to skate.

And photography is a thing but very different.

The hype or buzz is gone or at least faded.

I fear the new tiki "scene" won't be enough to maintain places like the Mai Kai and other tiki places.

Don't think anything can be done about it really.

Just wonder if that Buzz or hype will ever come back.
