Hello to all the tiki gods/goddesses in the Central Valley!
I'm originally from Sacramento and relocated to Prague, Czech Republic about 7 years ago. There I got REALLY into tiki when a friend of mine who had a tiki bar in his basement invited me into the home tropical paradise. It blew my mind!

Even moreso when he and his business partner opened the first tiki bar in the Czech Republic (that we know of) called TAKY TIKI in Prague. You can see their bar on http://www.myspace.com/takytiki. It's a very groovy place and I'm extremely addicted to tiki now.

I've just returned to Sacramento a few days ago to visit family and friends. I am in the area only for a few weeks, and if I may so bold/presumptuous to ask a question of my newfound cybertiki friends:

Does anyone have any low priced and cool tiki stuff for our little Prague bar? We just can't get tiki stuff in Czech and I'm here sort of collecting odds and ends for the bar. We don't have much of a budget, don't need anything super vintage or collectible, just some tiki/tropical things to help our little low budget Prague bar look just a bit cooler. It could be anything like mugs, prints, bamboo/wood stuff, etc. Nothing vintage or expensive, just something reproduction or knock off would do. As you can see by the myspace site, the bar is small and cool but needs a bit more tikiness to really beat those bongos!

Thanks for reading and please let me know where I can go for the above via msg or reply to this. Wouldn't it be cool to know that some old pieces in your collection you don't like as much would be proudly displayed in a former Eastern Bloc country?
I thought so! :wink:
