I dunno. For some of us, Tiki never really happened. It was always somewhere else.

No kidding... I live in a Tiki wasteland, which is actually really frustrating, though probably better on my pocketbook. I know both of the other Tiki fans in town, but we all have such active lives that we can hardly ever seem to connect. There's nowhere to buy mugs retail in this city, and the next closest city which does have a place that sells retail is about a 3 hour drive. The closest Tiki bar is a 5 hour drive down to Great Falls, Montana. I really WANT to participate more in Tiki, but I have no physical outlets. I just have my nose smushed up against the glass, as it were. You have no idea how excited I am that my wife and I are taking a road trip through British Columbia at the end of June, where I'll FINALLY get to check out the Shameful Tiki Room and Waldorf Hotel.

TC is my main outlet, and I check it about twice a day. I don't contribute too much because I don't really have anything to contribute. I've been kinda' too embarrassed to post photos of our Enchanted Tiki Kitchen because it's a fairly unspectacular making-do with our rental. I'm not on Twitter or Instagram or Pinterest to speak of, and while I'm in a couple Tiki groups on Facebook, those are either deader than here or just pictures of pretty mugs. But yeah, for me, Tiki is somewhere else. Specifically it's in Disneyland, but we don't have a trip planned for there anytime soon.
