Thanks Komohana, the Cove will be a constant as long as I can move but I do trust in a kind of closure sometime soon. The Pollotiki paint job is probably a sticking point with many (CT?) but..... It's like you & Witco I guess - to each their own. I would rather have a more tiki representational Witco bar but it does seem to fit, in my eyes. - There are no speakers in any of the pictures - and you can trust Tiki Zen, as South Central KY seems to be quite non-polynesian, thanks.

Thanks to you too, Hakalugi. Some of those Gope boards are really sweet- the problem, per sey, (& bigbro- this'll count for you too) is that, damn, they are the real deal. Their authenticishness is a bit overwhelming for this place[me?]. While I really dig the board and most of those skulls, to have those on display would/could overpower the room and transform it into some kind of museum.

Not that I am planning for it to be a Small World After All, but something in between. Seriously playful. Kinda like Doug Miller of Kona ~ "I only want the fake stuff—the fake-real stuff." There are some artists displayed, both mug and in print, who are really speaking to me - or at least I'm hearing something. I'm just not sure about having actual Irian Jaya stuff in the same room with Black Lagoon Creatures/Jonny Quest/Sleestak items. Seems like it may not be respectful. But that's something I'll have to work on. Although dressing up the fez dude in tribalesque gear will be fun.

Seriously, thanks for all the comments, everyone has been very kind and respectful & I have not even thot about taking offense at/from anyone. I trust that will be in kind. It is a very small tiki world here in Southern KY and getting to hear from others from across the globe and nearby is really fun and enlightening. When coming to Nashville or Mammoth Cave, drop me a PM and come on by. Clean-up pictures soon, (fingers crossed).
