Recent TC posts and conversation I had with a gentleman in CA. have cited the recent or impending closing of several classic Tiki establishments. I have to think that more promotion of Tiki would either have held off that figurative "wrecking ball" for a while longer or perhaps indefinitely if more people had been to these places. In my opinion, it's hard to keep a thing alive when knowledge of it's existence is limited. Unless I'm mistaken, there have been more than a few comments of people supporting and promoting new and established tiki locales, arts, customs and traditions on this thread....please re-read the posts on this thread and reconsider the "Here's what I personally would have liked to have seen as responses to this thread:" statement, in addition to comments that follow this sentence.

wow.
this is well past the point of being over anal-ized.
such dogma and verbosity attached to something that originated in the casual laid back tropical isles.
stop while yer ahead. don't give islanders more reason to continue saying 'mainlanders are weird...'
