Mike, I always thought it was... until (after I made the mug), I reread this (scroll down for the Luau part):

http://classicsandiego.com/tiki/

While it reads The (San Diego) Luau was a "carbon copy of Stephen Crane's Los Angeles original..." I always read it that Stephen Crane duplicated it. Oops!

In any case, Martin has done great research on that link, check it out (and he's one of our San Diego Ohana, tons of information of local tiki history (and more)).

Hopefully I'm forgiven..
