mission tikiPICK OF THE WEEK: Tiki Invasion @ Mission Tiki Drive-In

If I had to rank the greatest local tiki-themed drive-in theaters, the Mission Tiki Drive-In in Montclair would definitely make the top 5. But after Saturday’s Tiki Invasion, it might just crack the top 3. Ten bands including The Muffs and The 88, a Hot Rod and Classic Car show, three vintage cult classic movies, guest emcees King Kukulele and the mysterious jet-setting Johnny Nitro, a burlesque review, a bikini car wash, an attempt to break the world ukelele record and it’s BYOB. I like it like that.
