Okay, I'm going to risk ostracism here because I know this is going to be heresy in some quarters. But I'm a relative newcomer to tiki culture, so maybe I can get away with it as I offer a newcomer's perspective. :lol:

Maybe I'm way off base, but I would think attracting the general public and having an opportunity to educate them and cultivate their taste in cocktails is a necessity for survival.

Prikli Pear, you're right on target! The "training" definitely happened to me when I was first introduced to the resurgence of interest in Polynesian pop. (It was greatly accelerated by attending the Hukilaus over the years.) I'm glad you added this to this thread, because I think it gives the whole thread some very helpful additional dimension and perspective.
