I've been lurking just under the radar for a couple of months now, and posted the first time yesterday. Thought I'd pop round here and make myself fully known to all. First, to get it all out on the table, I am a Parrothead. I know, I know, Buffett is Satan or the like. Imagine how I feel in the heart of country music land. But I am also a new tiki recruit, and I love it. Why don't we forget trying to revive the 70's and focus on reviving tiki???? Anyway, I am me, and always glad to chat about whatever.

Don't worry, we're all supportive here, and will help you overcome your little 'habit'. BTW, what's wrong with the 70's? Form what I remember, I had a great time, eating Cream cheese and Grape Jelly sandwiches, watching CHiPs, and peeing my pants.

It's not that what he produces isn't of a certain quality, it's just that we, as a group, relish the day when a tiki bar was dimly lit, served fine tropical (read rum-based) drinks, and exotica or hapa haole was the sound heard. I know it probably seems like we're tiki snobs, and maybe to a degree we are, but we just cannot let go of the fantasy we envision of tiki. You seem like a fine fellow, and I'm sure you'll be a hit and the next Tiki Central gathering, but as Poly Pop said "please keep the cheeseburger in paradise to yourself" (with all due respect).

Sounds like that good mood is still hanging on :)

I am sure you will find we are a great group of folks with many skills and much knowledge who are more than willing to share their resources. But dont try any of this crap either: http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=3555&forum=1 The natives can get restless around here when provoked with things other than Buffet cheers, Chongolio
