However, I have not really encountered all that many people here on tiki central (in person, at events) that fit the description of a Tiki Snob. Most people in my area are really cool. Many of us know each other, and I see new people here all the time, and noone treats them harshly.

Here's my theory. I think in So CA, people are less uptight because frankly we have TOO MUCH Tiki and/or Poly-Pop culture. Just this last Saturday night there were three events: 1. Hula Girls at ?? 2. Boardwalkers at DTBC and 3. Purple Orchid anniversary party. Decisons, decisons. (And yeah I didn't go to any of them, I was celebrating Pre-Tiki culture at Musso & Frank).

People in Tiki-deprived areas suffer through Poly-Pop withdrawal which makes them mean and judgmental. :D
