Well I guess I phrased that poorly. I wanted to include icons like Hawaiiana, Black Velvets, and Beachcomber which as stand-alones would not meet the "Tiki style" definition. My example was intended to include them witin the context of physical Tikis so I guess it really wasn't necessary to qualify it like that. Sorry, I didn't want to start a thread like the Hawaiiana one from earlier this year. :) My point was also that Martin's new project was intended to be more than a classic Tiki bar (which is confirmed in the linked article). I was interested if Tiki Central was open to something which expands on Tiki Style or whether they preferred it old-school like Forbidden Island. I guess after several Martiki cocktails, it won't make any difference anyway. :) Also I thought maybe some of the old Punks here would appreciate the analogy. [ Edited by: JOHN-O 2009-10-07 22:18 ]
