The Northeast has seen the Tiki (Chinese Restaurant)/ Karaoke combination virtually everywhere. The owners are looking to get more people into the place and Karaoke contests are one way of doing it. Around here we tiki people account for < 1 percent of the annual patronage so these things happen out of necessity. Am I thrilled? No, but it's just the way things are. Here's a picture from the New England groups last outing to New Tiki in MA:

Don't flame this please. Brian, the new owner of New Tiki, is just trying to stay alive. He's done some great things there like bring back some more traditional drink recipes and loading up some Exotica on the jukebox. These are huge leaps for us East Coasters.

Speaking of New Tiki - they're a stop on the 2007 Northeast Tiki Tour! Check it out here:
