I must've imagined it. It does have an indicator when it peak clips. tikibars: Prior to three years ago, my idea of home decor was that there shouldn't be any. The best effort on my part was to hang a bunch of 60s jazz albums on the wall and put up a cheap clock or two. Three years ago this girl was bugging me to decorate my apartment. I knew what I liked but had no concept of thrifting and antiquing to find the stuff I wanted. I wanted what was, in my mind, a "60s bachelor pad" look. As we started to haunt the thrift and antique shops, and later ebay, I learned that what I like is called Danish modern/Eames era/mid century/ubangi/retro/googie/atomic you know all the terms. I was also interested in Tiki and was aware of the term Tiki but didn't have a great deal of luck finding tiki items, just a few mugs. A couple years ago we were in Chicago on a work trip that was extended for pleasure. We were at her cousin's house and I was thumbing through the paper (forget which one). By this time we'd discovered Shag and were big Hawaiiana hunters and I had upped my tiki collection a bit. In the newspaper there was an article rating all of the Chicago area tiki bars. I was so excited! The best rated bar (probably Hala Kahiki) was in the suburbs and wasn't practical for us to visit. We were going downtown anyway so after the museum we went to Trader Vic's and had drinks and dinner. I actually persuaded the beautiful Dragon Lady hostess to give me a menu as a keepsake (she actually glared at me as she handed me the menu) and then we lifted another menu as well. We couldn't get them to sell us a mug. Anyway, that visit to TV launched me full on into the world of Tiki and made it an obsession for me. If I hadn't found that article I'd have never visited TV and may not fallen down this slippery slope of tiki infatuation. I just wondered the other day if maybe you wrote that article. A couple months later we took a trip to Atlanta and took a voluntary bump which paid for our flights to Honolulu. $500 voucher each! :) We ran around downtown Atlanta and didn't know there was a TV there as well. :( (This was before finding Tiki Central)
