...Sam's has a new owner, and supposedly the plan is to make it into something called "Kona Burger" or something along those lines.

SO...what to do ? The fact that the name contains the word "Kona" is a good sign that maybe the new owners want to continue the Tiki theme at Sams for their new establishment, but now may be the chance for our little TC Ohana's voice to be heard. before the new owners come in a Cheeze up Sam's, perhaps we can compose an online petition style letter with as many cyber signatures as we can muster asking the owners to keep Sam's a Tiki establishment.

Maybe a letter stating how important the history and heritage of Sam's is to us and how we would bring our business there, book TC events there, and spread the word to everyone we know to keep the place buzzing. It may be a long stretch, but if the new owners know there is a dedicated following for Sam's perhaps they'll look into "the Tiki thing" some more, and perhaps keep the place Tiki, rather than f*cking it up like the last owners.

Maybe print out an email or online style petition with everyone just putting their name and location on there, and just mail it or drop it off at Sam's. Give them the links to the many discussions here on TC about how much everyone in here loves Sam's, so they see that there is some real interest in preserving some or all of it's precious Tiki elements.

Anyone up for this or have any ideas ?
