Look at how worn that is showing that Sven carried that around teaching the gospel of tiki.

"created quite the shit storm"
Damn why would it looks like a good guide to me.

So funny that the people who feel that such a guide is intolerant of their idea of tiki while NOT being tolerant of Sven's idea of what is tiki.

But in this day and age where if you want to identify yourself as a rock or any other thing that is ok.

Looks to me like Sven was trying to categorize tiki and define it a bit would guess before he wrote The Book of tiki.

Pirates say ARrrr, Tiki nutz say Aloha, will it soon be ARrrloha.

I think people want to show off their bars and work so they see TC and think I can put my Pirate bar on that Blog.
And really if you post a really cool bar on TC nobody is going to rip on it too much, Amy's bar was kinda pirate like and people loved it.

BUT the real danger to me is that the definition of a tiki bar will shift so much in the minds of new tiki folks that the Mai Kai and others like it won't be thought of as GREAT.

Crazy idea? Look at the tiki mug sales cuz it is happening their as some of the new mugs out sell the old.

I like the idea of pirate bars, just don't call them tiki.
Heck be proud of your pirate bar and get mad when people call it a tiki bar.
Write your own book and have definitions of pirate in that.

We will totally ignore it for the most part, but we won't get pissed off and say it's tiki.

Thanks for posting that Hammo, I proudly don't use Facebook looks like their are some goofy people on there.

Move away from that Biased Facebook noise.
