I was driving along Almaden Road this morning and saw the site of the former Club Lanai where my parents used to go dancing in the 1950s. I decided to look online to see if any information was available.

Aloha. Welcome to TC Haunted_Howlie. I am a Big Enchanted Tiki Room merchandise fan. I am hoping to come in June. Tell us a little more about yourself. Are you into the Disney Tiki seeing as you are so close? Do you frequent Trader Sam's?

Been trolling for a while doing research for my authentic Tiki bar going up this spring/summer. Figured it was time to introduce myself and give a thanks to all of you for creating and contributing to such a wonderful resource.

I've been lurking here off and on for several years. I'm in the Salem, OR area but often hang out in PDX. I know some of you and have bought things from several of you. Currently working on a portable tiki bar (to go with our mimsy tiki pirate bar) nothing as grand as the tiki at Burning Man, Shipwreck Bar. Just something to transport to Sea Dogs and friend's back yards.

Hello from Orange, CA!! I'm new to TC and fairly new to the wonderful world of Tiki. We had our first Tiki Party last year and I can't stop thinking about Tiki now!!  Awesome to see a site dedicated to amazing group of tiki artists, enthusiasts and collectors.

Welcome new members and lurkers. Here's a few unspoken rules on Tiki Central so you don't get your feelings hurt and stop posting when somebody corrects you.
The SEARCH function is your friend, use it often and always use it before posting a new thread topic, because many times your subject has been discussed previously on TC.
Some Tiki Central people have a dry or sarcastic sense of humor that sometimes comes across more of an attack, so have a thick skin and/or ignore them. If they bug you, send them a PM rather than fighting on the thread and derailing it. If that doesn't work, contact a TC administrator and they will help fix the situation. We try to be nice here, but sometimes an attempt at humor doesn't always come across as that.
Malahabana, you ALMOST got Tiki Central etiquette right.
Your first post was in the introduction thread----that was good.
Your first post is about selling your stuff----that was bad.
Your first post should be in this thread introducing yourself. Your second post should either be in Tiki Carving showing your carvings or in Tiki Marketplace with your ebay listing. People here don't appreciate when somebody just jumps on here and the first thing they say is, "buy my stuff" before introducing themselves.
Post these in the carving thread and you'll get compliments and helpful critiques . Just jump in to try and sell stuff and you'll get your hand slapped.

Thanks for the etiquette lession Grog. Wish I would have seen it earlier. I went ahead and removed my post offering my wife and son for sale/trade/BO. They both like Tiki so I thought it would be kosher, my bad. I'll wait till I get a couple more post under by belt before I put them back up, pics coming.
