Yup, three - count em - exclamation points!!! Been talking with homeboy Sweet Daddy Tiki and am feeling the need to share in the TC aloha again. I miss you guys! Gecko and all others who left messages after I left, mahalo, you guys rock. Oliver is now 8 and in grade 2, I have worked some big corporate writing jobs that pretty much sucked as far as having a life goes, so now looking for the next thing. Am taking up steel guitar at last (much more on this when there's time). Life goes on, eh? Me ke aloha pumehana, |

Man, you had an 8 year break from this forum! Sadly, some of the people you mentioned don't post often or at all any more..and if you have not at least been lurking to see what's been going on....many of the original TC people are gone..as are the bands they liked and whatnot....it's kind of like you are rip van winkle! |

But better looking! I hope. Yep, I knew that, but it's OK. New people to meet. For those who don't know me: First trip to Hawaii was as a kid in 1968, saw Apollo 8 astronauts land at Hickam Field and loads of other truly amazing experiences. Had family there at the time (wish I still did!). This started lifetime obsession with the beauty of Hawaii and its people. I have a modest number of Coco Joes and used to have a big mug collection that sadly had to be sold off for financial reasons (sniff!). Am most comfortable in aloha shirts, not always practical in this climate. Am married to an American girl, hope to move to islands some day. Am crazy about Hawaiian music and am learning uke and steel guitar. Tiki bars rule. Mid-century Tiki interiors are the way modern urban humans were meant to live. Surf and exotica are awesome music though for me it's Hawaiian first. Not much else to say just now. Anyone who needs a good copywriter/proofer/editor, get in touch. :) |

Thank you Philip, I'm going to try to live up the notion of it being exciting, but hopefully no politics. :) |

Hey Johnny! Well, the incredible truth is that I was marooned on a tiny uncharted island all this time. Just me, some big tasty coconut crabs, lots of fruit, and lots and lots of Spam. :) |

Amen! Took me long enough to make the commitment, but I am now the proud owner of a travel-size Weissenborn (made by a luthier right near me but bought from a dude in Minnesota) and am waiting delivery on a Rickenbacker BD6. And my koa/tortoise/rope Big Island soprano uke is a thing of astounding beauty. :) Oh, and because I am a greedy little pig - I'm buying one of the new National hollow neck tricones. Most I've ever spent on anything in my life that didn't have four wheels. It's never too late to have a happy childhood! [ Edited by: emspace 2011-05-31 12:33 ] |

Welcome (back) to TC emspace, you can never have to many Mikes. PM me and I'll send you a list of the current trouble makers - you can either avoid them or hang out with them, your choice :P |

i was trying to think back that long ago... i think that was about when a thread about "tiki fonts" were a thread-locking offense! |

Hmm, I can understand people finding "Tiki" and "computer" to be mutually exclusive...but then were would we all be? No Tiki Ohana (and thanks Hanford for moving this thread, makes sense)! em. |
