Would you prefer Tiki as 'mainstream' or 'underground'? - General Tiki

I would love to walk into any neighborhood bar and be able to get a real Tiki cocktail--not premade slop, or have the bartender looking at me with deer in the headlight eyes when I ask for a Mai Tai. I would love to have more Mai Kai-like establishments so that more people can experience how mind blowing a true polynesian palace is. I think that true tikiphiles are the best promoters--we talk tiki mugs, listen to exotica at work, wear tiki jewelry every day and surround ourselves with things Tiki at home and at work--that people who come in contact with us get excited about Tiki too. I think it's great. It may inspire new artists to create mugs, wall art and great carvings. Mahalo and long live Tiki!!
