Thanks, Supereight, for posting about this again. I provided an earlier link to the article and video, and was kind of disappointed that more people didn't view it.

Believe me, the above WSJ article and video represents exactly what tiki is really about for me.

It is about appreciating a past era, even though it is fading away, and should be revived before it disappears.

It is about following one's heart bliss, even though that vision may not be supported by Corporate America.

It is about keeping certain dreams of America alive, of allowing people to get married in the same location where Elvis got married in the movie 'Blue Hawaii' - even though that location has been officially closed since 1992.

It is about still doing what you can to make people happy, even though you are 77 years old - a definite example for us who are younger.

Read it ... watch the video ... it is good stuff.
