I too think tiki needs new blood.
But if you go to the Mai Kai reviews online you will see some
people who say this place is a dirty Tourist Trap, these people do not
appreciate the old joints like we do.

I took some friends to Windward here in town and they laughed at it
and still make fun of it today, it's a theme restaurant from the 70s.
I want to get new blood for the Windward to help it stay alive, but this was
not a good fit.

John O met us at Windward and I think he liked it, he even paid, thanks John O!
TC peeps are a rare breed that like the old and dusty / rusty joints.

But not to put it on only hipsters but, just that group of people that
want to Starbuckify everything, new fake plastic wood all over.
Starbucks by the way puts their shops near old coffee shops and diners
like mine to get the business from these places and this many times
drives them out.

This thread took this turn after the TMZ comment and I said something about hipsters
and it went on from there.

I think it was me who took it down this path, Sorry.
