Without others supporting our tiki scene, the tiki bars we love will go out of buisness. like the Tiki-Ti as John-O pointed out. I have too admit. I got a little selfish with this when the Ti got voted best bar in LA. I thought to myself, "man now its going to be much harder to get in", which is true. The patrons for the Tiki-Ti skyrocketed. Us tikiphiles want to call these places our own. But if it was just us the Tiki-Ti would have a difficult time staying in buisness. I want the Ti be here for years to come. So I had to put that selfishness aside and know there are others who enjoy our tiki establishments. Aloha shirt or not. :)
