Danny, that's so great, I am glad that it all worked out! Man, what a Tiki Tour, carving in London, Berlin and Barcelona!

What are these? I've not heard of them and they sound like they could be a blast!

I think I posted something about him a couple of years ago. Back then, it was brought to my attention that flyers for Tiki parties in Barcelona started appearing with images from the BOT on them. Through Otto I got ahold of Andrew, and we finally met last year when I was in Berlin.
He is an American living in Barcelona when he is not on tour as a guitar tech. (He got me into the Bowie concert in Berlin.) When home, he organizes Tiki parties (once a month or so) at the Aloha Bar which are always filled to capacity.

Otherwise the Aloha is a more quiet place, Nicola's Kahala is busier because it is hip among local yuppy teenagers, who know nothing about Tiki, but like the sweet cocktails. When I was there there were tables with 4 and 5 Spanish chicas by themselves, gulping down the (not very strong) stuff.

If I only knew Spanish!
