Thanx, Dawn, TF1, Suzanne, TSOX, BigBro. Didn't mean to leave you guys hanging for so long without giving mahalos for the comments.

I just recommended you to my contact at Trader Vic's as cure for their new "Tiki Lite" lounges...

I'd be delighted to darken up the place a bit on the new TV 'Lite' establishments. Have tapa stamps...will travel!

I've been working on some lamps for the ceiling in my room. Here's one I get a kick out of.....

Here's a shot of the 'puffer-in-the-float' lamp with some other hat/basket type beachcomber lamps in the background that I've been putting together as I find the appropriate materials.

Yaaaaggggggs! Turn those lights back off! Still gotta put some boo up on the ceiling before I can put these lights where they're going to stay. They're just kinda hangin' around now.

Last but not least, here's a shot from the other direction showing the bar with lighting installed underneath, the clam shell sconce and the new puff-n-float lamp. I have a philsophy on rope lights, which I used under the bar. The device that produces the light should not be seen--only the light it produces should be seen. Rope lights just have a modern cheese (bad cheesy, as opposed to the good cheesy), disco-ey, nite club vibe to them IMO and that's not the look I'm after. I do appreciate the warm glow on the bamboo produced by the rope light though.

Back soon,
Brad
