Mai Kai, Fort Lauderdale, FL (restaurant) - Locating Tiki

It is being renovated. It was "condemned" for a very short time by a very green inspector. After a second, more professional inspection that didn't mean walking around it for 30 seconds and saying it needed to go, it got a clean bill of health. Last I knew it was going to be a cigar and cognac kind of place. I think it is to be decided, but it is not going away. Last year it was still storage. The music played in the restaurant is partly mine and partly others. I have donated CDs to them many years ago. They play a variety and you can request Swanky's CD be played for more vintage Hapa Haole and Exotic tunes. The actual show is meant to be enjoyed in the moment and in your memory. I'm sure that if they wanted to offer a DVD of the show they could get Jochen to put something together. He already has lots of footage from when they worked on the DVD of Tiki and filmed the entire 2004 show. Plus I think they have done more since. I just don't think it is on their radar to do it.
