That was the name of the Polynesian restaurant at the top of the Sheraton Caravan Hotel when I was a kid - first place my folks ever took my bro and I out for dinner. Most of the stuff in the collection was improbable crap based on random neuron firing, like Mexican Dia de los Muertos stuff, BUT there were a lot of swizzle sticks in different colours, and I think just maybe they were based on real recovered memories. The swizzles were yer basic long thin sticks with spoons at one end, but the top had a very blocky "Tiki". After I woke up I got on the Antichrist (my beloved computer) and quickly made this image with 3DS Max and Illustrator. Just a few days later I dreamed my Mom, Grandma, and my bro and I went to an entirely different Tiki place, felt like I was about 7 or 8 years old. It had an outer waiting area with bench seating and a nice coffee table with magazines, and the most excellent lighting. This could be a memory of a real place, I have no idea. I went to 3DS Max again and grabbed my newly-scupted "Tiki", and put him into an image that was like the wall in the "waiting area", a slice of which follows. That same week my bro had a Tiki restaurant childhood dream too. Uncanny - and fun! aloha, emspace.
