Swanky's home bar is great, and he make great drinks too.
The best bars would be Svens or kohalacharms as it would be like seeing parts of every
tiki joint ever in one spot.

The best time I ever had was going to the Kahiki at like 2:00 in the afternoon.
Had to go fight a worker's comp claim and it was near by so I stopped in.
The place was closed but I walked in and nobody was there I went to the bar and was looking at
all the stuff, it's weird how you can see better when nobody is there.
AND you could hear full well the fake rain and thunder, it was so peaceful.
Skip the bartender came from the back and we talked for a bit, it was very cool.
Few ever saw the Kahiki like that.

With that said, I want to go to Samoa or some other island where they make tapa and learn how
they do it.

That or go and visit some old person who ties fish floats and watch them do what they do.
Or maybe some rattan basket weaving pro.

Ohhh get tips from a headhunter on how to shrink heads, I got a need for THAT.

Want to learn that dying art stuff.

Sitting in a loud bar or a huge event with drunk crazies is kinda old news for me.
Done it many times.
But a sit down with a few people talking about how to do things, or the old days
of tiki is more my speed.
