I can't decide what was more hilarious about that night. The rendition of "Not Quiet Village" or the souvenir Tiki Farm mugs with L.A. Kings logos on the back. The bartender was knocking it out of the park though, that was good. I was in Trader Vics @ LA Live recently where Kings fans arrived after the hockey game. Its all about the marketing. And, it is a good thing to shower the Tiki mana on those who otherwise would be in the dark.
