Aloha. I registered the other day, after passing by the link to the Tiki Room for the last year, i finally clicked on it. Anyway, my given name is Rick, though the one tattooed on my chest is Lucky. I have been a fan of all things tiki since I was a little kid. i got my second grade school picture in a Hawaiian shirt that i wore once a week. Last year after moving away from home, I started my first tiki bar. it was on sale for $500 off. Just your average, garden variey outdoor bar. Well, after a lot of working, and Kustomizing, I fit my bar into a tiny one room 10x9' apt in Washington DC. I was fortunate enough to eat at the Honolulu a bit before it closed forever. then I moved to philly, after starting quite a Tiki collection. I have mostly vintage mugs, and a few rarities. My bar was given a blessing by the owner of Kowloon, in Mass, after a mug buying spree, 12 total from Kowloon. He gave me a few items that weren't for sale, and wished me luck on starting my own bar someday. i try to do as many things as possible, including pinstipe, carve, creat stained glass windows, and anything else i can do to make tikis. MAHALO AND ALOHA!
