SCORE on those Hawaiian Hut pieces! ...now YOU have to open a local watering hole with them :)

This weekend I will attend a re-dedication ceremony of the original Maori hut that inspired some of the pieces at the Hawaiian Hut:

Yes bigbro - I'm -- as they say -- "STOKED"
As for opening my own watering hole - I don't think I will be taking that on anytime soon, after having been in the restaurant business for over a dozen years myself, I can honestly say that the hours of work necessary do not allow for the quality of family time that I enjoy.

Enjoy the Rauru ceremony, that is a beautiful exhibit, that one day I hope to see in person.

If you get the chance to shoot some of the exhibit - Please do share.
Looking at the image in your link I see a resemblance in the resin Hawaiian Hut Maori piece to the lower left support, a stylized and simplified version of something like it, at the least
