Yet...looking at that photo again, pondering it, it is lovely, but something is missing. It just doesn't have the "bite", the "edge" that makes Tiki bar interiors so unique... Hmmm, could it be...? TIKIS!? Are these folks sitting on furniture carved in the shape of Voodooo dolls? Do the fiery eyes of a giant reproduction of Macumba gaze over the clientel? Nope, nada, nix. A situation easily remedied I should think. We'll concentrate our initial efforts in these lovely tropical locales. After all, the rum is cheap and the varieties abound therein. They'll provide us with drink, and we shall import the new religion. :tiki: Ahu
