Superb article, Tim! I'm proud to have one of those puffer-fish lamps of yours (“I’ve bled a lot from them.”) as the central beacon in my home Tiki bar. The article, in quoting you, eloquently captures what I feel about my own Tiki bar...

“My tiki bar in my home is the escape pod,” he says. “At the end of the day, you go in there and you’re not anywhere else. It’s not necessarily back in time, it’s out of time. It’s its own place, its own world that you can go to whenever you want. It’s usually quiet, stressing conversation over the typical bar, which is loud and rowdy. It’s a place where you can reconnect with your friends or your spouse or whoever, and just unwind.”
