Who is the Mystery Lawyer From South Florida Known as "Tiki Al"?

There is a Miami lawyer named "Al," hanging out at Fort Lauderdale's legendary Mai-Kai, who is hopelessly, shamelessly addicted to 50s era Polynesian kitsch:

But during the Hukilau in June, everything's pumped up a notch.

That's when Fort Lauderdale gets the vintage-clad crowds, cocktail seminars, tiki vendors galore and a constant soundtrack of retro surf and lounge music. During a recent Hukilau, DJ Lounge - aka Laura Taylor - conjured a bubbly Barbarella world, while the Stolen Idols - fronted by her husband, Drew Farmer - played lush jazz "exotica". My wife, in her tallest go-go boots, stomped and bent to Los Straitjackets' hyperactive renditions of King of the Surf, Sleepwalk and The Magnificent Seven. "You know what this tiki culture is?" a Miami lawyer friend, Al, asks during an introspective moment by the pool. "I think it's like goth for middle-aged people."

Oy vez rock-a-hula baby!

Who could this mystery "Al" be?

Hmm, I have no basis at all to suggest this, but could it possibly be Al Cardenas?

Alan Kluger?

Alan Fertel?

C'mon people, help me out here!

(Someone has suggested A[..]lberto Jordan but I can't confirm that at this time.)

News Flash: Alan Fertel Is A Sports Nut!

I used to see Alan a lot at the gym, and here's a prototypical example of a conversation we would have quite frequently:

SFL: Hi Alan.

AKF: The Fins will be SLAMMING this year!!

SFL: Aah, yep, I sure hope so.

AKF: How 'bout the moves [insert player here] made on [insert another player here]??

SFL: Pretty impressive.

AKF: Was that AMAZING, or what???

SFL: Sure was.

AKF: Just F*&KING AWESOME!!

[pause]

AKF: Want to play hoops?

Anyways, I'm reminded of this by Alan's exuberant column today extolling the Troika that Saved Miami.

Let's hope Alan's even partially right.
