Followed the links STiki, and Wow! What an 11th Hour turnaround, graphics and all. Fascinating.

Something clearly went down between the players early this week. Could it be a certain group of Polynesiacs and ModComs, along with the rest of a shocked public, actually had an influence, perhaps even lent a high card, to Trader Vic's prominent (and sudden) "relocation", as opposed to its reduction to a mere alcove in C55? Hmmm. Nice to wonder if we've been at least a bit of a thorn in someone's paw...

Also very glad of course that Chai, Judy, Linda, and the Bartenders will keep working (together). Certainly they should get our show of support, if the refit isn't done so odiously as to actively repel tiki-minded enthusiasts. They entirely deserve it for the outstanding service they've provided to Trader Vic's patrons over the years. And whatever new situation they find themselves in, I know their happy customers will be happier to see them do well through this sad event.

"Don't let it be forgot,
That once there was a Spot,
Where Blowfish all wore sunglasses,
and Tiki-times were hot..."
