About a year ago I gave Polly and Tiki Farm each other's contact info after Polly told me she wished they had an exclusive mug...sure wish something would come of that. I am working on this. A Tiki Farm mug is likely out of her price range, but I have another maker that can do small batches with no start up cost and good quality. I am going to see if I can get a mug made designed to look like the tiki on the menu, and see if she'll make a Navy Grog or Mai Tai set up so you can bring a bottle of dark rum with you and have a classic tiki bar drink there. I am aslo looking to redo their website before this show airs to get people more excited about visiting. The laws changed there and she can get a liquor license and serve by the drink. But this a small town operation. They work very hard every night to keep the place going. Extar money isn't around really. And they tend to reward their staff. The staff loyalty there is amazing. So, money to add an addition on for a bar is not coming any time soon. So I am trying to come up with ways to increase people's awareness of the Omni Hut and make it a better draw for the tiki/kitsch tourist and hopefully help the bottom line. I promised her that if she gets to the point where she can open a bar there, I will come over and help her design it and find all the decor she needs using the resources I found through doing Hale Tiki and working on the Headhunter. I want to make that an easier decision for her. It would mean more prifit and revenue, but it costs money to make money. If any of you website gurus are interested in redoing the Omni Hut site as a favor, let me know. You can certainly promote your own work on the site in return. And if any artists want to donate to the decor in exchange for them promoting you, that would be great as well. I can attest to their diligence on this. When people asked about the aquarium in the entry, they quickly pulled out a flyer for the company that maintains the aquarium and handed it to the customer.
