For one night a year, one mask from Aloha sees the public again in my neighborhood Halloween display. I try to pick a different one each year.
2004 - one of two large Orchids of Hawaii masks from Aloha's exterior, similar to the ones on the outside of Chef Shangri-La near Chicago.
2005 and 2006 - Philippine dragon mask from over one of the booths. You can actually wear these things, but it's not comfortable.
2007 - one of two smaller Orchids of Hawaii masks from a wall near the bar. By the time Aloha closed, this poor guy had lipstick and chewing gum stuck to him - no wonder he was pissed.
I do like letting them out of the house to live a little. I can guarantee they're happier now than they were at Aloha - especially during the last 6 months or so of the restaurant's life when they forgot exotica and Jimmy Buffet and Paul Simon played in an endless loop. Now THAT was scary.
