yeah, I'm not sure I entirely understand that Yuppie statement either. That's a word I used to throw around back in my 20's when I was all about looking at people, sizing them up and making a quick judgeent. But now I don't judge somebody by how they look just because they're dressed professionally. I'm usually more concerned about what's going on upstairs. I've met a lot of hipsters in my time who proved to be pretty shallow and quick to jump ship on the tiki (or any other craze) due to changing fashions. And in any case, I'm actually pretty happy with the diversity of Suzi's crowd. They just need to lay off the cigs.

My biggest shallowness is that I'm usually immediately contemptuous of someone drinking a beer in a tiki bar. And the older I get the more I dislike most rock 'n roll music, particularly in a tiki bar--so the whole tattoo/punk/rockabilly fusion with tiki always sort of bugs me--I guess that's shallow too.
