Met a gentleman who ran an antique store. Said we were looking for tiki and he said he had a menu at home, that we should come back in a day to let him find it. Turns out he was here, the Hawaii Kai, and it was on a date way back when in the early 60s. He'd saved up all his money for it, he said it was expensive ... after he told us the story, we asked him to sign the menu!

Exotica on reel-to-reel...

This was a weird kind of mask. At first glance not even sure whether or not to pass it up, but it did have the bright colors we remember from some of the stuff at the Kahiki...

But the metal eyes were of interest... especially because when you turn it around, it reveals that one of them has a peephole!

Testing it out...

Whoah! Going to have to figure out where to hang this one...
