Aloha from Canada. I would like to introduce myself to all TC members. I am looking forward to meeting people from all over. I spend lots of time in Hawai'i, and Anahiem but live in Calgary. I make a great Mai tai too.

Hello. I live near the seacoast New Hampshire area and just started making some posts recently. I am amazed at the amount of fun things on this site, plus all of the various items which people contribute. Always learn something when on this site. Within the past few weeks, I have started plottin' and plannin' a tiki bar room for our new home sun room with construction to hopefully start end of this week. Look forward to posting the tiki bar pics and getting some great ideas from people.

You're on Sweet Daddy T. Let me know so I can squeeze the limes, crush the ice and brew the Falernum.

Home made falurnum - I'm there for sure! Won't likely be until late spring/early summer.

Aloha - long time reader, first time poster. Tiki fan from Edmonton. Great to be on board finally. Frequent traveller to Hawaii, Palm Springs, Arizona, and Vegas. Raised in a tiki basement by grandparents. Love the ability to connect with like-minded tiki-nuts.

Welcome to TC robbie silver. If you ever find yourself 3 hours south let me know. Perhaps a cocktail at the Voodoo lounge would be in order.

Hello from Chicago!
I've been lurking on the boards for a while and have become completely blown away by so many of the artisans who post their work here on TC!
The boyfriend has been into tiki for years, collecting mugs and memorabilia, and has sucked me into his wonderful world. Wherever we travel we take along the Tiki Road Trip book. Best place visited so far? Mai Kai!
We're always looking to meet up with fellow Chicago tiki aficionados and are anxiously waiting for Three Dots and a Dash to finally make its very belated opening!

Hello from NJ. Been a long time fan of all things tiki, hot rod, rockabilly, and day of the dead. I've lurked here on and off but finally decided to register to expand my knowledge and hopefully contribute to the community. Just overwhelmed right now with the massive amount of tiki content here...I currently have 2 Tiki projects I'm working on - one is burning/painting/staining/sealing a carved white birch tiki I bought over the summer; the other is a Tiki themed tattoo half sleeve that started last year with the Tiki and will hopefully continue in the near future with supporting tiki art...I've added my tattoo to the tattoo thread in the general forum if you're interested to take a look...
Aloha...

Welcome to TC Biggy! It's always great to see someone else from New Jersey. There's not too many of us here, being that NJ is pretty much devoid of all things tiki.

Thanks, Lori. There was Jan's Waikiki in Fair Lawn on Rt. 4 waaaaay back when I was a little kid and didn't even know what a Tiki was, but I heard they had great fishbowl drinks at the time...and then Otto's Shrunken Head in NYC which I hit last year...Great Rum drinks, decent decor, but a little weathered inside.
Then there was always the Tiki bar at the shore, which was never very Tiki, but a tragic loss to Sandy nonetheless...I wonder if we'll see something new and Tiki inspired pop up with all the rebuiding that's going on...
