Hey Tiki Bars!

I am one of those people!! I have always been into the "safari" style....but I came to it in a roundabout way....

In 1980 a new King Crimson album came out, in the african style, and it blew me away..from then on, I was totally and completly into world music and style!!!

I loved lion country safari, and adventureland at Disneyland is of course, my favorite...

Not to piss off you tiki purists, but I consider all the different types of exotica to be from the same "family"...and back then, I doubt anyone really differentiated much anyway! it was all "moderne" and "exotica" and "tiki"...the styles seemed to flow together and influence each other....one common thing was the diamond shaped sign with "exotic fonts" out front of the liquor stores and motels of the day!!

Seems like no matter what genre, they all have THAT in common!

Hey Poly pop! you remembered the font wars! Good man!!!
