“Juno” was my old Yahoo name. When I first joined TC I doubted I’d be doing much posting and didn’t feel like putting much thought into my name. Since then, tiki has become a much bigger part of my life and I’ve always regretted not coming up with a more suitable name. I thought about just creating a new profile and starting over but by that time I had a couple of hundred posts and didn’t want to lose my member status.

Then I went to the Hukilau…and I have to say after attending this event I feel like I have been officially baptized into tiki culture. The people, music and atmosphere are something I won’t soon forget. It was a pretty amazing experience to be around that many people who are as passionate about tiki as I have become. While I was buying the Hukilau coloring book, Tikilicious mentioned to me that Hanford could change my name without it affecting my member status. I decided to make the change now that I have been “enlightened” by my Hukilau experience.

HENCEFORTH, I SHALL BE KNOWN AS “KENIKE” (keh-NEE-kay) which is my real name (Dennis) in Hawaiian.
