My immidiate family has always been the black sheep to the rest of the family. I was always taught that going against the grain is better than shuffling with the herd. Do what makes you happy, regardless of what mainstream is.

I think I must be lucky up here. Despite the lack of tiki establishments, people for the most part expect some individuality, and don't look down upon it.

Maybe the mild weather & island living brings out the freaks & artsy-fartsy types, who knows.
