Hi, I'm new to tiki central. I got my first tiki mug 8 years ago and and have been slowly gathering more ever since. A home bar is in the works, but because of limited space it is in the diningroom. Someday it will have its own place. Dan |

Hi everyone! I have to say that this is by far the best site on the net. I have learned so much from your collective geniuses that it is beyond words. I usually prowl the "carving tiki" threads, as I am a beginning carver, and in such a short amount of time many of my questions have been answered and anxieties overcome. I only hope I can contribute half as much to you as you have to me. For that I thank you. |

Hi everyone! I'm a performer, craftsperson and writer who lives about an hour outside of NYC. I've been a fan of tiki for a long time, but have only started collecting within the past year, since my husband and I bought a house and now have room for all of our stuff. I'm glad to be here and look forward to meeting you! |

Aloha all! I have been a closet tiki fan, and have a modest collection that I have been working on for a year or so. The past few months I have developed more of an addiction, and have been collecting a broader selection of pieces. It's hard to say what originally attracted me to tikis besides the kitsch factor, but I would have to say in the end it's the alcohol. The building that I moved into last year is a 160 year old corner building in the China Town section of a Northern California town. The lower floor used to be a very posh Chinese restaurant called the "King's Inn". It closed in the 1960's sometime, but what was left behind is most amazing. The basement of the restaurant was a private tiki bar for the more wealthy patrons, and it remains in excellent condition to this day (although unused). The mural paintings are even in great shape. I am currently trying to procure the building (more on that some other time). So that's my introduction. Thanks for the fish! Cheers! |

Hi, I'm ZombieTiki from Willow Street, Pennsylvania. I started collecting tiki when a friend of mine introduced me to the artwork of Shag a couple of years ago and now I'm hooked. Nice to be a part of this fine community. I like to read what others have to say mostly, but hopefully I will post more in the future. |

Hello everyone, came across this site about a week ago and I love it, especially creating tiki. Carved my first tiki last summer, a moai ,thats where my name comes from. (short for moai tiki) Good to know I am not the only one who hears the call of the drums. I have collected for years and have been working for about a year on building a part time soap business which will launch soon on ebay. (moai shaped of course) tikisoap.com designed by my son will be up and running soon. I work as an organic torpedo residue removal specialist (custodian) in rural NJ. Can't wait for it to warm up so I can get this years tiki garden going. Will be posting pics as I get more tikis done, glad to meet friends to share my work with!

And I still love the tiki I got from you at Hukilau, Atlanta. I have yet to get you a copy of my (now ex) band Clouseaux's CD, on which your beautiful carving is the cover art. (Which also means that a large number of the folks on here have seen your work, whether they knew it was yours or not!). Coming to Hukilau 2004? If I don't get it mailed before then, I'll DEFinitely bring it out. Glad you're here - Welcome! [ Edited by: Formikahini on 2004-02-28 20:24 ] |

aloha from the land of cleves, I'm new to TC but wanted to say hello :) I first became interested in Tiki when I got together with friends in Vegas and was introduced to the fun of sharing a Scorpion Bowl at the Venus Lounge. Later that month I met back up with my Tiki crazed friend in San Jose and he showed me his collection of Tiki mugs and we drank Mai Tai a plenty. I have been a fan ever since and picked up my first Tiki at a goodwill in San Francisco(a Harvey's Sneaky Tiki)...I have been picking up pieces here and there, only through thrift stores or as gifts. I enjoy the fun a good Tiki drink can bring and love keeping my eyes peeled for new Tikis to bring into my home. I look forward to participating here and sharing my Tiki adventures with you. late, [ Edited by: Pakelika Mikela on 2004-03-07 18:47 ] |
