I get the question all the time and I have to formulate and answer that works for average Joe and for the media.

"We are fans of the Polynesian pop culture in America that reached its peak in the late 50s and early 60s with places like Trader Vic's and Don the Beachcombers. There was a time when every major city in America had at least one Polynesian themed restaurant and bar and we collect the ephemera, the mugs, postcards and swizzles from the these places, as well as recreate the magical oasis of a tiki bar in our homes and mix the exotic cocktails as well. It's a fun, light hearted escapism from a time for adults. Loud Hawaiian shirts, Hawaiian music, rum cocktails and dreams of a far away island we can reach by heading tot he basement tiki bar."

Feel free to prnit this out and hand it to them on a card when they ask.
