LavaPants,
I was there that night with my wife and definately NOT diggin' on the tunes--but having an otherwise good time. As it turns out there was a rather large "I just turned 21" party....and as I'm sure you know, the newley 21 crowd hasn't exactly sharpened their lounge tastes yet. On the flip side, there should be a happy medium somehwere. I mean, look, if somebody wants to play JLo (I'm gagging as I'm saying this) in the juke box at a tiki joint, thats ok. And I go with Christiki a little dry humping in any locale is A-OK with me. I mean its all a matter of taste. I prefer Denny and Lyman to most of the crap that was being played that night, but hey, that's what free market is all about. And the Tiki Ti doesn't exactly spin exotica all night. The last few times I've been there they were playing standard rock music.
I guess what I'm trying to say is I'd rather have a nice tiki bar with crappy music and thriving than no tiki bar at all....lest we forget the Taboo Cove in Vegas. I'm just glad a fight didn't break out with all that young testosterone that night. I would much rather disappear into a lava-lined tiki cave and chill out to exotica sounds too. But hey, at least they have Denny in the juke, and they must be one of the only bars-tiki or not- that I've seen with that!
Bottom line is I agree with you, but its still nice to see a new tiki place actually making money. The best way to deal with the situation is be sure more of us TC-ites go and bring more of the Aloha spirit and exotic vibe!
