They covered a lot of ground in the article in a pretty honest and straightforward way. Too often writers feel the need to glitz up a story to try to make it more than it really is, but they did a nice job of keepin' it real. Great photo, too!

That's a kool article, thanks for sharing.... bwahahahhaha. sorry. Seriously, it is a nice article, Mr. Bot is right (and quite handsome, I might add...) sometimes writers feel the need to glam it up, kudos to her for realizing you're interesting all on your own!

Although it did give me the giggles when the article went on to point out : "...Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room, which languished for years in Frontier Land at Disneyland" :) See you real soon!

Its funny to hear about the different events like a page from history and yet I knew about it. Exept one thing, who is that Jeff Brown guy that kept refering to. Can wait to check out your stuff in person one day. See that bird at the bottom, its only there because of Seamus. -teaKEY

S seamus Member Portland Joined: May 07, 2003 Posts: 462	S seamus Posted posted on Wed, Jun 15, 2005 5:33 PM Okay Okay,, thanks you guys. I knew she was going to write something, but I was shocked to see the whole page. I admit, the reporter is a big fan of Tiki, so she was thrilled to get to write the article, but I was expecting a little blurb in the arts section. Hopefully this, and the future projects will help to get a little more Tiki awareness 'round these parts. I keep that guy Jeff around for mostly nostalgic, and Tax purposes. He's an alright guy, but he really can't handle his booze. His wife and kid kid have taken to me pretty quickly, so at least I've got that goin for me. Tiki-bot- you slay me sometimes.

Now, when we met at Oasis you told me a little bit about your alter ego. But I really thought you were a "grumpy, Irish, whiskey drinking Tiki maker on the central Oregon coast". Okay, maybe not grumpy. :) Congrats on the good press! Aaron

You're concrete Tiki creations are written in stone. (Don't ask me what the hell that means, but I meant well.) Cut the crap and move down to Calitikifornia! We need you down here. Buy a summer home in Oregon for God’s sake. They'll manage without you. (Unga just 86'd himself from the NW Tiki crawl) P.S. Are you really Irish? :) Best to ya bloke!

The support and friendship I've found here has really made an impact on my life. Ohana is truly where it's at. A sincere thankyou to all of you! Now I gotta pack and head for Portland.
