Al of sudden there is Tiki everywhere in South Florida it seems. Went to target yesterday, Tiki everywhere as you all know, I had no idea how much. My local paper(South Florida Sun Sentinel) carried a pretty good article couple pages long on current Tiki culture. Kern's (Mai Kai's Manager) personal Tiki room on front page of Lifestyle section, and a Leroy Schmaltz Tiki. Good article about Leroy and a larger general article about Tiki including a prominent mention of our own room http://www.tikicentral.com "if you want one stop shopping for everything Tiki, this is it. The site includes info on music, books, drinks and games as well as chats". An interesting sidebar on buying quality bamboo. Good articles by C.V. Schaub with only 1 possible annoying mistake, labeling what seems to be a Palm Tiki "5 foot bamboo tiki pole" Not sure how they glossed over such great local artists like Benzart, Flounder and Higi:-) but otherwise a pretty good article for mainstream.
