RE: TOP 5: Kitschy Food Joints (The Mai Kai!) on FoodNetwork.

Make sure you check this out. It's nothing too special for those of us who've been there, but there's some good footage on the special. The Madonna Inn is featured as well!

Any seats left in the [bold]Spectacular East Indies Room[/bold] for a newbie tikiphile and escapee from a dusty overheated cowtown?

How is the Long Beach Tiki Festival? Worth going? Any website for info?
Thanks

CultJam: There's always room for 1, or 2 (or 20) more!

PacificAndy: I don't know why, but these guys never have a website and/or pictures. If there is one somewhere, then their marketing of it is pretty bad, since one can never be found! I think it might be a shoestring advertising budget (word of mouth), but with a good turnout, so no real marketing is done = no pictures. I've only seen small text write-ups about it.
