Hula Hula has hired Haole Kats!!! to play a couple of times for some vintage retro shows. It was a lot of fun.

She's got some pretty cool stuff, a lot of it Hawaiiana, although, she has a lot of cool vintage Florida and Floribbean stuff, too.

Too bad you don't have time (or do you?) to come over to Daytona that weekend for the event over at the Hawaiian Inn.

As far a good tiki joints in the St. Pete area, I can't really think of any. There are a gazillion tiki bars, buy you know what those are about. There IS the Tiki Gardens, which I still haven't been too, but I believe Pablus has. Supposed to be pretty cool, and it's on Gulf Blvd near the beaches.

On the Gardens note, you might also try the Sunken Gardens, which sound like pure cheese, but is actually incredibly cool. I played a solo Hawaiian gig there for a Hawaiian dance school's recital, and it was great. The plants are of prehistoric size. Here's another site with some history on that, too.
