Aloha ST....I think you are the sole survivor there. There used to be a carver that posted as Octane but I haven't seen a post from him in years. Stuff-O-Rama used to share a space with Insomniac Video in San Luis Obispo, but I think she is just online only. You might contact her to see if she is still local for a get together.

Unfortunately you (and I) missed out on Trader Nicks.

I meant to post the obituary of the owner a couple years back but never got to it. He also owned a place called the Outrigger that i can find no info about.
Trader Nicks was next to the Kon Tiki in Pismo where Steamers is now. DustyCajun is probably the closest TC member to you (Santa Barbara). There are a half dozen TCers in Ventura County. We have family in your area and get up that way a few times a year. We will try to drop you a line when we are in your area.
Harbor Hut looks pretty cool but If I remember right the drinks sucked.
@Bongofury - Thanks for the information. You are right, there appears to be a tiki void and we are possibly the only ones in the area. Fortunately, the 200+ wineries in the area more than make up for the lack of tiki bars, so we're not feeling so bad. The mai tai at Harbor Hut was not excellent, but I didn't think it was too terrible. Too much fruit juice, not enough booze. Thought the food was great, the fish and chips and the escargot appetizer were both delicious.
Tiki magazine did an article on Kalyra Winery in Santa Barbara having a tiki tasting room. Have you checked that out? I'll drop you a line if we are in the area. We've never tried tiki wine tasting... :)
