Yikes!

Um, okay maybe there is a tiny bit of truth to what you say and maybe you're using exaggeration and stereotyping for comedic effect (it was funny) but I think you're being just a bit harsh and over the top there, pal.

First, I've been thinking about Saint Tiki for a long while and have done some homework. Seriously, there is NO remotely tiki establishment in the area. Every conceivable angle has been done a thousand times but not tiki, at least in the last 20 years to my knowledge.

Here's what I was thinking... something above your average puke bar but below the exclusivity that goes along with some of the newer type places that are out there now. Classy but loose, maybe a touch of kitsch but not stupid. Decor.. you just have to make it completely awesome, man. Just totally rad. Not just a wilting inflatable palm tree in a dusty corner. Small but impressive drink menu and MAYBE dabble in some Polynesian finger foods. No mozzarella sticks or chicken fingers. Music has to be awesome and stick to the tiki-surf-lounge theme at all times.
I'd like it to be rather smallish.

I'll put my ass on the line here financially and I'll work my ass off. I need an investor who loves tiki and wants to make some money. I'm not doing it for the money. Let's get to work!!!

Thanks for the insanely funny reply telescopes!
