Hello group,
I just started collecting less than a year ago and now find that my collection nears 100 items, with mugs, a Shag serigraph, lighters, ashtrays, Shag tie, etc. etc. etc.
I would really like to meet other NYC and nearby area collectors and was wondering is we could arrange a Sunday or Monday night at Otto's or Waikiki Wally's. I think it could be a fun night to meet fellow collectors. (I work nights the rest of the week).
If you have interest please let me know and how to contact you and I will be happy to make arrangements.
Also, I am seriously thinking of going to Tiki Oasis IV in Palm Springs, and it would be great to meet other people from my area that have either been or are going this year as I don't expect to know anyone when I get there. I would also like to know what to expect, so that I would have advance knowledge about what these weekends are like.
Many thanks ahd I look forward to hearing back from many of you.
All best,
Alan Sumac

In my Tiki travels, I've found the finest hospitality from other TC members everywhere I go! NY is well represented, I'm sure it won't take much encouragement to get them to go out for a gathering.
Also, for Tiki Oasis, you could go without knowing a soul, and leave with a great number of new friends! Hope you can make it out, its always great to meet new Tiki freaks.

I'm always up for a TC event. Not sure when I can meet up though.

Tiki Oasis??? Only the best tiki event of the year!!! I have been the past two years and definately will be going this year. The first time I went it was cool, but last year was out of control! Every thing was great, the music, the mugs, the carved tikis and especially the people...if I do recall, the Mai Tai's were VERY good too! You will love it! Let's meet up there, I'm up for a group toast, who's in?

I've been looking for an excuse to visit Otto's for a while now. Heck, I haven't been to Waikiki Wally's yet either. I'm up for going on Monday the 23rd. Either reply here or with a "personal message" to confirm.

Aloha Alan,
If we make it to Oasis this year, me and mine would be pleased to meet you. We'll know more in the coming months. Heck, if you're in LA/OC area, I'm sure many of us would be happy to meet up with you and show you around. Once you know your plans, drop me a line.
As far as the Big Apple Ohana is concerned, I've always found the NYC/NJ group a mighty hospitable bunch. Just pick and date and run with it, man! You gotta see the Fishermen at Otto's.

Hey Alan,
I'm definately going to Tiki Oasis; in fact my whole band (The Fisherman's Vibraphonic Trio) is going! If you're going to come to Otto's, you should come down on a Monday night. We play every Monday from 9-1am (except for Feb. 23 & March 1st) I've got a small collection of mugs, but nothing to write home about. I'd love to hear more about your collection. Hope to see you at Otto's soon; definately see you down at the Oasis. Take it easy...

I'm brand new here, but my husband and I would love to meet other tiki fans in the NYC area. I've been collecting less than a year, but have christened our sun porch the Tiki Room and it's on its way to becoming a nice oasis in our decidedly non-tiki neighborhood!

We can't make this coming Monday, since we won't be in town, due to the three-day weekend, but we'd be open to another week. We'd need to do it on the early side, since we have a long trip home, but we'd love to meet everyone. Thanks.
