I bet on the latter. That means, whatever cred FI gave this here Tiki movement will be diminished. As long as they continue to interview the Bum, things are the same. As long as their talks about SC and with Martin are vintage Tiki based, things are the same. As soon as they start saying Martin left Tiki and FI and went in a new direction and begin placing him and SG in some sort of other cocktail genre, it's all over. I know Martin is a cocktail fan. Tiki is his genre up to now. We ride with his star. Or don't. He and Jeff are the celebrities of our culture these days. And I don't know anyone that doesn't enjoy great cocktails, regardless.
