His new mission is to create a new respect for rum as well as place these drinks within their cultural and historical contexts (which include but are not limited to Tiki.)

I think this is more important than trying to progress any so-called "Tiki movement". Think of it as the RUM movement. :)

Tiki or not, I just want to enjoy a great cocktail.

That's the impression I got out of it. It seems like he's looking to make SC a specialized Rum cocktail bar....a place for connoisseurs of rum drinks...

I think he wants to take the rum based cocktail to a higher echelon. Look at it as when the Beatles made Rubber Soul....an artistic growth.

I think Tiki will be part of the equation, but not the whole thing.

I DO like the punk rock/Black Flag comparison to this whole thread.
