I have just moved to a new location, so the bar is going to debut on Friday August 5th. I am renting, and therefore don't have quite the depth of decor that some on here have. However, I have grand delusions for when I own another house (the one I currently own is infested by an ex spouse), or even an actual bar. I have been collecting tiki, exotica and mid-century tchotchkes for several years, as has my current husband. I also have a decent and growing collection of tiki mugs, muu muus and Hawaiian and Exotica vinyl records. I live in New Orleans, a block from the Fairgrounds Race Course, which is where Jazz Fest is held, if anyone has ever been. Some of you may know that New Orleans is the home of Tales of the Cocktail, a mixologists convention. I was fortunate to meet Beachbum Berry this last weekend there, which was a geek-out for me. You can find the Fiji Mermaid on Facebook, and I make a mean Mai Tai, as well as some great originals, so if you're in town, see if I'm open!
