I read the packet you dropped off at the bar over the weekend and was absolutely floored. And I think you're dead on about the karmic implications, because the bar's return to grace as a Tiki lounge was entirely grassroots and organic. The owner and manager had no interest in Tiki whatsoever, they had to be slowly talked into it. Then Boyd seized the creative helm. He started with a sheet of reed grass and some bamboo, then, like a jungle encroaching on a corrupt civilization, more territory was captured day by day. He worked tirelessly, staff pitched in and helped paint and construct, complete strangers showed up bearing artifacts and albums. The renewal is by no means complete, but well on its way. And then to discover, thanks to you, that it is being built on the foundations of a forgotten Tiki temple. Positively mind blowing.
