Sad to hear such a cool shop is closing. I hope you guys can get something else going in the future. Wes, I just met you at Oasis and you struck me as a very nice, layed back person. I wish you all the best.

Very sad to hear the news. Wes and Pua are about as good as it gets. I'd like to thank both of you personally for supporting Tiki Magazine over the last 5 years,
especially when the magazine was just starting out. House of Tiki is a great store built with the Aloha Spirit. I'm going to make the trip up from San Diego on Saturday.
All I can say is Bummer! Best of luck to both Wes and Pua in the future! See you on Saturday.
Nick

Just do'in it. The process, friends, artifacts you leave behind. Your wave has hit the shore, and I hoped you enjoyed the ride. Much more mana to you all in the future.

Aloha 'Ohana:
Just an update and a bump while we're at it. Thank you for the kind words and outpouring of love as we bid Aloha 'oe to our beloved H.O.T. Means the world to us.
House of Tiki 'ohana alumni and Tiki Farm's own lovely Nalani (Sharon), has kindly and generously offered to provide some entertainment at our hut on Saturday. Many of you know the beauty and the sweet spirit of aloha that is Tropical Paradise Dancers. We're so honored and lucky to have had the pleasure of working with and knowing Gary and Sharon and we're touched that they've offered to help us out.
Please come by this Saturday (10 am to 6 pm) and say Aloha!
Wes

The House of Tiki will be very missed. You can count on us for a visit tomorrow, but it'll be with heavy heart that we say goodbye to this great little shop with the warm, friendly staff. Aloha and good luck to you in the future.
