I'm a little dubious, but I will mos' def be willing to check it out. I appreciate the intent, and don't presume to question the sincerity, of what's going on at Roxanne's but so far the execution is still a wee bit lacking IMHO. I would hope to see a bit more depth in a "next-step" evolution of a tiki vision from them, but frankly the whole "storage container" trend, while I think is a great idea in many respects and is a terrific format for small chain businesses, strikes me as having a bit too much of a "pop up" and ephemeral vibe, and I am hesitant about its ability really generate the kind of lasting, loyal following a local tiki bar needs. But maybe that's the vibe he's going for.

Don't get me wrong, I'm hopeful. Long Beach desperately needs a very good quality tiki bar! I'm just not so certain a "mobile" vision is a great step forward.
