I knew this day would come where I would read about the closing of Hale Tiki.

I will never forget when Bamboo Ben and Crazy Al flew into Atlanta and Swanky drove from Tennesseee to meet myself, Brad and Basement Kahuna at Trader Vic's prior to making the journey to Augusta to begin the buildout. I still remember the smiles and the spirit in the air of what was to be and how determined they were for the outcome. The pictures that Swanky posted (you can still see them on his website) as they made progress and the stories of how he, BK, Bamboo Ben and Crazy Al worked so hard.

And then how Sven stated, when the bond between Brad and BK was broken, I really feel the spirit was lost. I want to always remember Hale Tiki in the beginning, when the Aloha spirit was alive there and especially within BK.
