Bora Boris, I do understand where you're coming from. I respect you and I love old Tiki places, too. Thor's response: Well, I could not have said this better myself. Thor, you're as articulate and sensitive a writer as you are an artist. I have no desire to change anything else about Damon's, since I enjoy that place just as it is, too. But I really think a little more Tiki feeling in that fairly blank "party" room would be a fantastic addition -- and a genuine "thank you" from us to Damon's for what they do. They were incredibly open-minded about letting us throw our party there. Earlier this year, I took Nick Camara to Damon's (he had never been there). Ernie (Grog) joined us and we had a fantastic dinner. When the owners found out that we were from Tiki Magazine, they picked up the entire tab and sent over every dessert on the menu! So, I suggested Damon's to Nick, when he was considering trying out a new spot for the magazine party. I felt the added reservations that night would be a nice way to thank them back, PLUS it would make more Tikiphiles aware of what a great place Damon's is! From my first phone call to them, they were excited and on board with having a whacky group like ours hold our event there. Next week, I will merely ask them if they would like some contributions to help spruce up that one room, and I'll let all of you know what happens from that point. But, of equal importance, I am glad to read that so many people had a good time at the party. If you did, please continue to patronize Damon's. Oh, and I also hope you all enjoy the latest issue of Tiki Magazine! Aloha from Kari.
