Aloha, Just joined Tiki Central a couple days ago. I'm from Hawaii ... I play in & co-founded WAITIKI, a Boston-based exotica/tiki ensemble. This is a great board! Glad to see so many people living the life of the tiki extraordinaire. -Randy a.k.a. WAITIKI's Professah Humming Flowah :) [ Edited by: professahhummingflowah on 2005-03-14 00:49 ] |

I just did! After viewing the promotional video, I realized how great it would be if our local Tiki bar had some Exotica on the juke box. While I like the punk, I also like the idea of lounging at a Tiki bar. You band would set the right mood. :) |

Just joined. For me, it all started with Hawaii Five-O. Although when I watch it now I sometimes find myself rooting for the bad guys. In any case, Jack Lord as McGarrett might merit a massive tiki carving in his honor. As might Jerry Garcia and Ayn Rand, but I digress. I have a whole lot of Exotica and Hawaiiana records, and play a rather strange and unkempt style of guitar myself. There is much talk about "magic" and "powers" connected to pop tiki, and yet I figure, mightn't this really be a fun and colorful way of referring to one's own powers to make wonderful things happen, when ignited by an attitude of joy and a gentle but firm attitude towards the world characterized by questions like, "Why not?" and "Who said?"? |

Re: Reading "Hawaii" - oh, yeah .... many years ago. BIG book!! My sainted father was stationed in the South Seas (Guam and Pearl Harbor) during the war. He was "old school tiki", to the core, my old man! Came back from the war riding a 10'6" Dewey Weber surfboard, an old "Indian" motorcycle, and raised me on his very well mixed Mai Tais and Martin Denny music. Named our first boat (a fast little catamaran) - named - yep...."PapeToaTane". Had a cool little Tahitian tiki as a "masthead". While most of my little pals were buying Beatle albums, I was catching Julius Wechter live and tagging along with my uncle to the old Luau in Beverly Hills. And Wan-Q on Pico near Robertson! Great memories. Rotten Mai Tais!! Thanks to all for keeping this alive! Aloha, and Blessings! :tiki: |

WWII. Good point, though. Actually, I wasn't born until 1957, and the only board of his I ever saw was his giant Weber "log". As a matter of fact, when he died in 1993, I paddled out into icy-cold waters on that very same board (delaminated skag and all!) down in Baja to spread his ashes into the waves he loved so much. I truly dunno which board he brought back from Oahu to be honest. I know that he surfed Malibu (we lived in Venice) when I was a really little guy....I have some old pics somewhere of him holding me up bu the hands while standing on his old Weber board out on the sand near Paradise Cove. As for me, I never had the desire to surf. Surrounded by surfers my whole life, I just couldn't get the hang of it. I know enough to know that I'm a natural goofy-foot (from my days riding skateboards) - but "good balance" was never my long suit. I get seasick, too. I was pretty much a disappointment to dad when it came to water sports! |

Very nice doing, PTT, to do that for your old man even though you were a non-boarder. Just last Saturday (a week ago), Martin Denny's daughter had three paddlers bring her out in an outrigger and scattered his ashes beyond the reef. |

Greetings to you all, After seeing many of you at the Tiki Ti in Hollywood, I finally decided to join your fine and friendly group. I've been a regular at the Tiki Ti for about nine years and like everybody else there, I miss Ray Buhen the founder very much. Fortunately for all of us, his family has taken up the torch and held it high, still mixing some of the finest drinks around. I invite you all to try a Jim's Special the next time you're there, with a water back. It's a big, dry Mai Tai and a half made with an extra squeeze of fresh lime juice, two ounces of Meyers Jamaican Dark Rum and instead of light rum, 2 1/2 ounces of Casadores Tequila. Aloha! Jah Jim |

Yay, Jah Jim finally made it! Jim is the smiling face that greets me every Wednesday after work when I finally make it into the enchanted enclave that is Tiki-Ti. Jah Jim has been to Tiki-Ti more times than you have, and he adores Tiki-Ti, but his real passion is reggae & rastafari. He has what is likely one of the world's largest reggae & Haile Selassie archives -- perhaps the largest, I can't say, not being an expert in such things. Welcome to TC, Jah Jim! Jah bless! |

Aloha! Just thought I should say hi, formally...lol. My wife and I have gotten into the whole tiki thing fairly recently..though whole-heartedly! I think we both just had an epiphany on how we like, and would like, to decorate. It started with the idea that we have an outside bar, then I said "How about a tiki bar?". Several Shag prints, mugs, the Book of Tiki, and hundreds of dollars later...we are addicted! :D I just want to send a huge thanks out to Tiki Central and all TC'ers that help newbies along in the weird and wonderful world that is TIKI!

By way of introduction... Aloha! Well, it's nice to finally find a place to call Tiki home. I'm a child of the culture, (my happiest memories growing up) and it grew into a life long passion for the deep Spiritualy of Hawai'i and her people. But Tiki's.... gotta love 'em! I've worked for the Walt Disney Co since 1970, strating out at the Park I did my stint for several summer's in the Enchanted Tiki Room and can see by that posting by Tongaroa that I will be needing my employee discount this year! Many thanks for the hard work that goes into this site, I wish I'd found you long ago! |

Greetings! Long time lurker and finally joining in the discussions, since I finally have something to share. Completed the build on my long planned dream TIKI BAR! I owe a lot to this board here. Got many of ideas from some of the picture posts. Learned I didn't have to buy my bamboo via a website, but rather right at my local Pier 1 Imports and Hobby Lobby. I'll post a Thread with pics and details about my Tiki Bar. But of course just wanted to say HI first. I belong to one message board already that I post at quite a bit: And this place seems about on par with them in the friendly dept. My vitals: -36 on April 21st I have lots of close friends and consider myself very social. We plan LOTS of events and are fond of our annual traditions (super bowl, football pools, pub crawls, poker games, golf outings, etc.). I'm a poker fantatic. Play in many regular games. Big fan of the "mid-century" look. So, attracted to Tiki of course. Grew up with parents who played a LOT of swing and jazz and grew up liking it myself and play a lot at home. Massive record collection! But I dig everything from Dixieland jazz to punk, really. I am also insane about movies. Have a pretty large collection of that too and a pretty nice Home Theater right next to the ole Tiki Bar that I'm pretty proud of too. So... as you can see, I'm really quiet and shy. :wink: Questions? Comments? Flames? I'm off to go post my tiki bar pics.... |
