I have never heard anyone cut quite so low as the lighting tech admonished at the beginning of Pearl Jam’s “Even Flow” video.
“This is not a TV studio, Josh. Turn these lights out! It’s an effing rock concert!”

A bit of of tiki culture. It’s a tropical vignette I cooked up featuring a vintage hula record, a tiki glass turned planter, a disco ball catching the sunlight, and a shell nestled on a touristy bit of pottery, a clam-shaped Sea World ashtray.
See, I’m a rebel. The more war is raging the world, the more I turn peaceful, by which I mean pacific. I also turn to the Pacific, more specifically, the Pacific Islands, learning how to say hello, goodbye and I love you to stress, by which I mean ‘Aloha!’ and also ‘hang loose.’
While people start to speculate it’s the end-times, I adopt island time, slow as walking through sand or roasting a whole pig. Time sweet as rainbow shave ice melting and pooling in a paper cone.
I find respite in tiki culture because it’s there for me in good times and bad. It’s an aesthetic and lifestyle that suggests that anytime you need to, you can, to quote the movie What About Bob?, take a vacation from your problems.:

rustles, flowers wander wild
