Paul Orloff has gotten some signs of revived interest in the genre from Tiki archeologists over the years, so he knows about the Tiki resurgence (his prices might be a hint), but then I don't believe he thinks much about it, his neighborhood is not exactly the hotbed of the Tiki revival (then again, which neighborhood is? :) ) Often, old timers that were there at the peak, and then saw it all go downhill, are stuck in that keeping the ball low mode. With what they have seen, our little sporting effort does not really compare.

Technically speaking, Exotical is a great time warp because it is stuck in the post Tiki period, somewhere between the original craze and the Tiki revival.

This is in no way to suggest that he would not appreciate the occasional Tiki seeker's interest and enthusiasm, of course!
