What a great night! This was our first time at the Purple Orchid, and we were truly impressed with the decor and atmosphere. We showed up just as Dr.Z, Dolphin Tiki, TikiBird, Utopian Dream, Lady Velour and Johnny Velour were sitting down to a fabulous feast being served from the restaurant next door. Wersmo Derinc and Rebecca (the extraordinary proprietors of the Purple Orchid) served excellent drinks and made everyone feel at home. (Wersmo Derinc also kicked off a new fashion craze with his fez and pasties.) Atomic Cocktail, VintageGirl, Humuhumu, Hanford, PiPhiRo, and probably other Tikicentralites were in attendance, along with a crowd of regular Purple Orchid customers and Fisherman fans. The Fisherman put on a great show. I never saw the burlesque dancers, because everytime they started dancing, all the guys stood up to watch, and blocked the view from us poor ladies sitting down! Oh well. Krustiki has all the pictures.
