My favorite thing about Hukilau is getting to experience the Mai Kai with hundreds of people who are dressed appropriately for the occasion, people who appreciate the elegant experience being presented to them.

If the choice is between having a Mai Kai full of t-shirt clad gawkers or not having the Mai Kai at all, I'll take the gawkers. But if the choice is between t-shirt clad gawkers and people looking for an elegant night out, I'll take the elegance seekers.

The assertion in the blurb that the Mai Kai is the antithesis of elegant... it's just absurd, and it may be educating the public about the existence of the Mai Kai, but it's mis-educating the public about what the Mai Kai is all about.
