OK, as promised here are some pictures of the Aloha Orgy Bowl. I also remember there were three (I think) tiki style drums by the front door. The entrance had a heavy bamboo curtain of sorts shielding the outside from the inside. It was not hanging by rope, but solid to the floor and ceiling. I can also remember the puffer fish decorations hanging from the ceiling. If you notice the bar sort of resembles the main part of a Hawaiian canoe. In the center there was a glass panel so you could see what was in the canoe. There was white sand on the bottom and all sorts of shells and sea creature carcasses. There was one that looked like a devil of sorts. I'm not sure what that really was. Behind the bar was the undersea artwork shown in the postcard previously uploaded by Dustycajun. Someone had, well, a few too many, became angry at the bartender and threw an ashtray (I think) which poked a hole in the artwork. :( Wow, I just used some much dormant (and presumed dead) brain cells! :D I would love to know where some of the decorations went. As mentioned before I'll try eBay, etc. Enjoy the pictures (if you can remember) :wink:


I think after a few, she starts to actually do the hula (Soup can for scale).


For some reason I keep hearing the Jimmy Buffet song "Volcano".


OK, it couldn't be made in Hawaii could it? At least they named it "Orchids of Hawaii".
