Oh, and about Julian's. That is one of the choicest lounge/dinner spots around. Glad you found it.
It sounds like Hukilau is going to be in Ft. Lauderdale again in 04, but there is a full tiki weekend in Daytona/Ormond/Cocoa Beach as well. Didn't you dig all of the old themed hotels/neon/and crazy 60's architecture in Daytona? Everyone raves about South Beach Miami, but 60's Daytona is every bit as worthwhile for preservation.
I tried to get the reporter from CityLink to talk about how preserving tiki is an extention of a bigger issue which is preserving Florida's tourism history from the fifties and sixties, but he must have thought I was just another chap stick -obsessed lunatic.
I really wish they would put a big ass fence around Daytona and not let anyone tear anything down.
