It was fun. We got to meet some really cool folks who came out, and the people who were at the market who appeared to have no real interest in Tiki were still very nice. But we totally missed this little gem in the Chicago Journal. Maybe because it's such a small paper. A friend came across it and thought we'd be interested in Kristin Gehring's perspective: http://www.chicagojournal.com/main.asp?SectionID=5&subsectionID=10&articleID=3154 Now, our mothers tried to teach us something called the golden rule... think it goes like "if you don't have something nice to say..." Obviously Kristin Gehring thinks insult humor is still funny. Guess she also missed the memo that said calling someone a homosexual in an attempt to insult them isn't really cool either. TC folks get uptight when the press does not "get it". How about when they are openly hostile to Tiki? She also printed this notice about Exotica in another small paper.
