Trader Vic's Atlanta really is a stand-out among the all the fine Traders' outposts. 100% original and lovingly cared for, it's a majestic port for anyone who really appreciates an old school Tiki temple. It was great to see folks I'd met before and make more new friends. I really miss the Southern hospitality– it's been a while since I've spent time in the heat and kudzu. Thanks to Kiliki for the invite and for putting together such a vibrant event, the Atlanta crowd has really found the place to get their Tiki fix every month. David P. was very generous as well, thanks! It's so nice to see people with a passion for Tiki making sure great things happen– keep preachin' the good word. I was very impressed with Swanky's tune spinnin' and Tongo Hiti's crowd dazzling. The Dames a-Flame were certainly easy on the eyes as well– especially the hula dancer! I had fun hanging out with Basement Kahuna, seeing his carvings in person, and discovering that we had a lot of mutual friends from back in my Georgia days. It was a treat to meet TNTiki and be there as the lucky stiff loaded up that great big BK carving. I even came home with a cool Moai that Mrsmiley was kind enough to let me get– even after he was the first to spot it, thanks. Thanks also to the folks who came out to say hi and to talk Tiki, it was really great to share some stories and laughs with everyone. Here are some shots of Trader Vic's Atlanta: http://share.shutterfly.com/action/share/view?i=EeCNnDRq1btWHk&open=1&sm=1&sl=1 The lights are appropriately low, so many of them are a little fuzzy. All I can say is you'll just have to get there and see it for yourself! Aloha! -Duke
