Would you prefer Tiki as 'mainstream' or 'underground'? - General Tiki

I have about 50 so far. One of them is from a restaurant that used to be in my fiance's hometown, where her father still lives. It's long gone, but he remembers the place from back in the day. When I was adding a new card to my Tiki postcard binder tonight, I saw the one from my fiance's home town. I said "Wow, maybe I should bring this whole thing the next time we're out there so I can show your Dad the postcard from the Bali Hai". She said to me "nah...maybe not. I don't think he'll understand that you collect these. You know...it's not normal" It's not??? Hmmmm..ok, it's not 'normal'. I like that. So there you go. Mainstream? Underground? U B the judge.
