Why is the tiki life important to you? - General Tiki

I've "discovered" this tiki subculture relatively recently (I'm from Wisconsin, so there's not a lot of tiki in my past). Until now, I've been holding down 2 to 3 jobs to make ends meet, in addition to my wifes full-time job. I never get to see her because one of us is always working. At first, tiki was just an escape. I liked the art, the music, the DRINKS, and all of the kind folk. But now that it has become a regular part of who I am, I'm toying with the idea of opening a real tiki bar in the Milwaukee area. It's definately a long term plan, since it would be a few years before enough capital could be saved up. But now I go to work with a smile, and work twice as hard, because now I know that there is hope that this crazy schedule of mine will end in something pleasent, instead of me jumping off a bridge. I don't know if I will ever really be able to own my own bar, but at least in my mind I can picture the grand opening that you will all be invited to! Drinks that night will be free, I promise!
