Wacky ideas for tiki bars! Input Needed! - General Tiki

I thought I was a little overboard when I was planning something similar, but hey, there's sanity in numbers. My plan was/is to either fill a basement window well with the same idea, or more likely, put in a "window" behind the bar complete with some sort of water pump for rain. I have a storage room behind where the bar will be, so I can just build it into the partition. My advice for strobes would be the small "egg strobes" or hanging style. Use 3 or so (with blue gels)... by using 3, every time they are triggered, the flashes will be randomly timed and look much more natural. I've used them in haunted houses before for just that reason. Please post pics to document the process and the finished set-up! -Z
