aloha! thanks for the lovely feedback, and so glad you all enjoyed the article! i had a great timing writing and photographing the piece, and i look forward to attending more tiki gatherings in the future! (i was the tiki burlesque performer at exotica :wink: ) speaking of burlesque, tiki and the gore gore girls, i literally just stepped off a plane from vegas, having returned from performing at the rockaround. what a fun time and a great event! my boyfriend and i made a point to seek out the taboo cove, and we actually had a fabulous experience there. we swung by just as it opened, so we had the whole place to ourselves. our bartender was incredibly nice, and seemed to know a lot about tiki. he's been there since it first opened, and talked a lot about how it had changed since then. our drinks were great, he poured us numerous free shots (it was my boyfriend's birthday) and when we gave him a copy of my boyfriend's band's cd, he played it on the bar's sound system. we didn't want to leave! i think if one were to hit the place during off hours and bring an exotica cd, this guy would most likely play it. he was quite a character, and really fun to talk to.
