I saw a marketplace listing on Facebook that made me immediately pause and take another look. Please tell me I'm not the only on who sees it! 😂 https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1512866192817686

Greetings! :smiley: I am really happy to see that somebody else remembers it! I moved out of Norristown around the turn of the century (saying that makes me feel really, really old :LOL:) and these days only make a few trips a year down there. If you recall the area, some local spots like...

Good write-up about the creation of the original Tiki News magazine. :cool: https://punchdrink.com/articles/fit-to-print-tiki-news-magazine/

Welcome! I'm not familiar with "Tiki Magazine and More". I know that "Tiki Magazine" was a successor to "Tiki News" but didn't realize that there was another mag after Tiki Magazine ended in 2017. The only current mag that I'm aware of is Exotica Moderne published by House of Tabu. If I...

Greetings! If you remember the pig roast 🐖 then check out this article I found from 1993, definitely brings back some memories. I don't know what newspaper or publication "The Mustang" was but so far it's the only thing I've been able to find online about Aloha Inn.

Costa Alavezos is a "Product Design Manager" who works for Disney. He might be having some problems with his bosses right about now. :eek:

Some offline stuff was piling up, needed to take a mental break from the online world for a bit. :)

Growing up in a part of the burbs' outside of Philly there really weren't any "Tiki" restaurants in the area and, in my youth, was too young to venture into Philly. The closest in the area was a restaurant named named Aloha Inn that was in a strip mall in Blue Bell, PA. At the time it stood...

Info' and details about an upcoming book with the story of Oceanic Arts.... https://www.peekaboogallery.com/oceanic-arts/

Well known business Oceanic Arts are closing their doors after 65 years! :( Owners are apparently retiring and closing up shop.

Ooooh, that makes sense, and sounds good! :D Until I saw your response I was thinking along the lines of an Italian Rum Cake and was wondering how could somebody tiki-fy one of them.

Random question... do you like the smell of natural bamboo? I picked up some natural bamboo drink stirrers from a restaurant supply company and after opening the bag I put it in a big Ziploc baggie to keep them dry and clean. Much to my chagrin I realized that it resulted in a strong smell...

Pretty cool image of an Easter Island Moai. :moyai: The artist is Samir Belhamra with GrafixArt. Prints can be purchased on the GrafixArt website. What's neat is that you can also buy a tutorial that shows how the image was created. :cool: https://www.grafixart.photo/

Not the kind of cages I was expecting. :thinking:

So far, of the different sounds I've been trying, I'm finding the storms to be the most relaxing for me. I'm not sure what that says about my psyche. :thinking:

BHG (Better Homes & Gardens) posted a guide for making Pineapple Jack-o'-Lanterns for Halloween. They come out looking neat but what really has my attention is the thought of all that nice fresh cut pineapple to be snacked on! :pineapple: :D...

Lately I've been looking into ASMR videos as of way of helping me get to sleep. In particular, rainstorm videos. That got me thinking... are there any 'tiki' themed ASMR videos? :thinking: ASMR, for those who may not be familiar with it, stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response...

I voted "No" for the reason you mentioned, that "Tiki" is typically Polynesian related. The "Tiki Drinks" crowd of course loves their Caribbean rum but, aside from that, I don't see the connection between PoC and "Tiki".

If anybody has a problem clicking through to the FB pics, try this link instead... Facebook It's surprising to see that the house is so close to a street with traffic, from most of the pics & being described as close to a lake I would've thought it was on a private lot deep into the woods. I...

Lately the topic has been on my mind and initially I was worried that after I'm gone that those going through my collections would have no idea what they're worth. But... I'm at peace with that and it kind of makes me happy to think that all of the stuff will find their way to local thrift...
