Unlike the 1990s cocktail culture revival -- which seemed to be more about appreciating lounge music than the making of excellent drinks (martinis possibly excepted) -- this new cocktail revival 2.0 is really gaining momentum, and seems to really be about the careful preparation of classic cocktails. You probably know about LUPEC already: http://www.lupec.org/ ...who have chapters in several cities. And of course there is my own small contribution, a latter-day redux of the concept that my ancient and crusty Tiki Bar Review Pages began way back in 1994: http://www.cocktailsnob.com My only concern about FOAM is that it not be confused with FOM! When you right and left coasters are ready to launch a middle America chapter, count me in for the Chicago lodge!
