Aloha TC Ohana~

This is Shakatiki's (Wes) friend Pua at House of Tiki. We've been in the process of moving to our new location and are preparing to re-open. But that's not why I'm writing... Our beloved "Got Aloha - Shakatiki" sign from the front of our shop on Newport Blvd. in Costa Mesa was stolen. His value is only sentimental since Wes created him and he was lovingly restored by our friend; artist, SCAT (Jason Roberson). He doesn't think it's a big thing (other than the bad mana that the thief has heaped on himself!), but I think maybe the TC Ohana here in SoCal could keep their eyes open in the area for our friend. It seems sad to me to reopen at our new location without our wooden hoa aloha. Of course, he can be recreated, but it seems the original, who has been with Wes since he opened H.O.T. should be home where he belongs. Someone out there apparantly doesn't know the meaning of "Aloha" since they took him. Please keep your maka open. Perhaps, with your kokua, we can bring him back to the Hale.

Much aloha and many mahalos, Pua at House of Tiki
