also, in case you haven't read it, here's the big interview with Otto from the East Bay edition of the Chron (same writer that interviewed me for my Thrillville piece, link posted in Beyond Tiki), came out a few weeks ago, talking about the history of tiki bars, focusing on Oakland - and the Conga Lounge!
