I don't know what TikiLand is but it's pretty fucked up when companies are like "click here if you want us to stop selling your personal information, but only if you live where we're legally required to give you the option. Otherwise we're going to keep selling it so fuck you."

Description: Tiki culture is a celebration of tropical escapism. It's a longing for the time when Pacific islands were still exotic locales that inspired Donn Beach and Trader Vic to create their own versions back home. It all started in 1934 with the first Don the Beachcomber tiki restaurant, and was rejuvenated in the mid-90's with the printing of The Book of Tiki by Sven Kirsten. Pull up a chair, sip your Mai Tai, and study the tsantsa-covered ceiling while listening to the sounds of the Hukilau.
What is tiki: Things that are tiki: Tiki mugs. Tiki bars. Tiki cocktails. Aloha shirts. Luaus. Witco. Oceanic Arts. South Pacific culture. Trader Vic's. Don The Beachcomber. Martin Denny. Les Baxter. Mai Tais.
Things that arent tiki: Hot rods. Lowbrow Art (Rat Fink et al). Surf music. Jimmy Buffet. Margaritas. Science Fiction.

Sure would be cool if we could get some events over here on the east coast.
One upside of being in a flyover state is I'm in the middle of the country, so DL is as easy a flight as WDW, and NOLA. Contra, everything is a flight.
And I'm always up for a reason to visit Strongwater in Anaheim!
