Aloha Tikicoma

Thanks for the nice words. I am also in my late 50s. And also I want everyone to know that I love and respect DC dearly, he is one of the great ones on TC as well as you Tikicoma. I am looking carefully at the current monkeys and I found one of the middle ones wearing a lei. This is exactly what I was going to suggest, more of this for the monkey's. With Damon's name it already suffers from an identity crisis, (and I will not suggest changing that) but monkeys as a part of the logo is also a non identifier as a tiki hangout. The interior is great and I can't wait to see it first-hand, but if the monkeys could wear more leis, dance the hula in a hula outfit or do the see hear or speak no evil to static authentic looking tiki's than I not only associate Danon's with tiki but it now relates the monkeys with us, as humans/primates, enjoying a good tiki time at Damon's and not relating them to Oceanic cultures. I guess my frustration is also trapped inside of me as a retired veteran of the film and commercial advertising business where identification is crucial to your market.
