Hmm, guess that depends upon what it is one is escaping. An antidote to life's day-today struggle is fine, an excuse to avoid responsibility...not so cool. Uh oh, kettle's on the phone for me, pot. There's three kinds of people in this world: Conformists, Activists, Escapists. In the instant application I'd say many here are escapists manifesting that reality through the "Tiki" genre. Nonetheless, certain times one may play an activist role in the hope that more establishments could fulfill a preconceived notion of true "Tiki". In that regard, one would be a conformist. In my own case, I am definitely [n]not[/b] an escapist. I am on parole for 2 more years. I did my time, square. The man ain't keeping down again. midnite
