Chock full of great old clip art and insider history from long gone watering holes, even more than previously, it features the believed to be lost formulas for such classics as the Mr. Bali Hai, the Zombie, Hawaiian Eye, Martiki, Skipper Kent's Planter's Punch, and many more concoctions from important Tiki temples like the Tiki Ti. Kevin Kidney added some fine caricatures of Tony Ramos, Mike and Mike at the Tiki Ti, Don, and the Bum himself. I am so glad when Tiki is done justice. You can order it now from Bosko's website. On a down note, I went by the GROVE today, the new luxury mall in Hollywood that has Farmer's Market regulars moaning and cussing because of the increased yuppie traffic. I was curious about the NEW "Madame Wu's" they put up there, and I must say they did a good job, but when I asked the owner (presumably) if they ever had considered hiring Tony Ramos as head bar tender again he said "No, these guys are just too old." ....which is just such absolutely ignorant @#%? B.S.! [ Edited by: bigbrotiki on 2002-06-28 20:04 ]
