I'm just observing the whole thing here. Quite a self-involved group huh.? Any of you ever owned or operated a restaurant or watering hole? Just asking. Since everyone has an opinion, advice or better yet some service you're selling from tiki carving to logos. Me, I got no beefs. I've owned a tiki bar, likely while the rest of you where going to discos or sweating in some open field listening to some hippie band. Vic, well Mr. Bergeron to you was one hell of a character. Hey kicked me in the butt. I went out on my own. Two stints in Viet Nam too. Tiki bar, fern bar. Steak house.

To bring my point home. Just because you think Tikis are cute or you favor rum based drinks , doesn't make you an expert on running a business. I love high performance automobiles, but I will not call the guy at Ferrari to give him advice on how to design the transmission on my F430 F1. Have fun with it kids. Don't take it too serious, am I glad we're finally gettin some credit for our crazy Tiki places, sure as hell. Wish Vic & Don could have seen this, goodbye pals
