Aloha to all! I was a semi-lurker on the Yahoo list. I was very disappointed with the migration to "groups" I am happy to be back with some fine folks! Much mahalo to Hanford for making all things in the world better

Hellloooooo!
Thought I would pop in and introduce myself!
I lurked a bit on the club...I like the set-up here...much better that that awful Yahoo group set-up.
Honestly, I'm sort of a novice Tikiphile, so I don't really know quite as much as you guys, but I enjoy reading! I've learned a bunch from you!
Right now I am working on redecorating the "swingin' bachelorette pad", and my living room is going to have a tropical/tiki/50's type theme happenin'.
Cheers!

Hello all,
Being a native San Franciscan, I took places like the Tonga Room and Trad'r Sam's for granted. All it took was one freezing winter after my husband and I moved to Rotterdam, The Netherlands, to make us pine for the faux tropical warmth of a good Tiki bar. Glad to have found this group (more so here than on Yahoo) to remind me that there is more than beer and tulips out there. If anyone has some Tiki tips for northern Europe, I sure would appreciate it.
Cheers,
Kelly

HI everyone. Lost lurker touch for a while, until I found out about the new boards here..then lost touch again because I was in the process of moving. BUT NOW!!! I'm here!!
Just moving from Arlington, VA to L.A. Walking distance to the Tiki Ti, I'm damn excited about that. Hoping all I've heard and read about the place is still true.
Looking forward to finding out about L.A. gatherings. The Atlanta gig sounds cool too...I love Atlanta!

Aloha Everyone,
I'm new at Tiki Central. I've been interested Tiki Bars since I was a kid. Was stationed in Hawaii in the 60's; used to start my pub crawl at Davy Jone's Locker at the Reef Hotel, they made great Bloody Marys there. The place looked like a sunken sailing ship inside and over the bar was a window with a view into the hotel pool. Sometimes we would start at the Okolehau Bar located in the tower of the Honolulu Airport with a Mai Tai with several layers of rums and a spear of fresh sugar cane.
My Dad and Skipper Kent were old sailing buddies. Skipper Kent's was located on the west end of Columbus Avenue in S.F.
Anyway glad to be aboard and I hope people won't confuse me "tikiboy" with the guy from Tucson "thetikiboy". Sorry about that: I guess I had too many missionary downfalls tonite.

New here.
been facinated with Tiki Bars and faux Polynesian Restaurants ever since watching Hawaii five-0 and other TV shows as a kid. Since that time everything Tiki started to rapidly dissappear - which of course only made me more interested. Luckily, I now live only a few miles from the original Trader Vics...

It's Mig here... known variously as Mig, mponce29, Nuttmig, "Hey Jackass", etc.
Hey Tikiboy: you're in Alameda, eh? The Bay Area tiki contingent is strong... and of that, the East Bay is a powerhouse. You're in very good company over there! Frequent events (or even just small gatherings) so keep your eyes/ears open.

Hi I'm atomictonytiki a tiki-freak animator/nightclub manager living in the wilds of scotland (well edinburgh) and I've been into tiki ever since my childhood introduction to bars, at the tender age of seven my parents took me to the Butlins holiday camp in Ayr and allowed me and my brothers to join them in the Beachcomber bar, since this was in the early 80's the bar had a faded tiki charm with dusty fake plants and fiberglass tiki's.
I also run my own tiki themed animation site at http://www.atomictonytiki.com and am very happy to find such a busy tiki forum.
