Finally!!!We are exhausted! We went directly from our work clothes to party attire on Tuesday. It was an unbelievable opening, I thought we were prepared, but two of my "guests" had to work that night behind the bar with us. More pics later as people email them to me, but this is just a quick before and after (and before the party). Lots more coming... [ Edited by: kaiserstyle on 2004-07-21 20:52 ] |

Ha, Dagmeier left after 15 minutes because it was too crowded to get a seat at the bar. Guess who turned the logos on the tikis gold? Remember how we made fun of it, but I love the way it turned out... |

Finally! Proof that there is a (Tiki-)God & that (S)He loves us. Or at least loves Germany. That place is incredible. I know that is a true labor of love, you can see it everywhere in those pictures. |

One more I forgot, If you're standing behind the bar this is what you see. The three painted tikis on the far wall are donated from Moritz R, who put in some long hours painting our archway frames and front door frames and some other great stuff! Thanks Moritz! |

And I see you hung up the painting that I found at the fleamarket and then asked Moritz to paint a Tiki into, cool! (..to the left of the bar) As a D.P., I have to say the lighting is done really well! How are your exterior doorposts secured? |

Hi everybody, thanks so much for all the kind words. It was alot of hard work (and we still have the second room ahead of us)so we don't mind receiving more of those wonderful compliments. P.S. Sven, we love your painting and I think we found a pretty good spot for it. The two Tikis outside are locked and are taken inside before we leave. |

Hi folks, I (Mr. Kaiserstyle) was out of town for a week while Mrs. K was running the place by herself (yes, you will love her too when you meet her at the bar). Quick response: Trader Woody, didn't I tell you I would find a nice place in the bar for your mug ? Kahaka, we love your lamp and I realized after I won the auction that you're on TC. Great craftsmanship. We don't serve food until the kitchen is set up (whenever that will be). Mrs. K is as good in the kitchen as she is behind the bar. I can't wait for that sweet potato salad. We have a temporary drink menue right now that's designed by our friend Mono Michalke. Will post his artwork next time. |

Hey Trader Woody, you must have posted when I was out of town. We're looking forward to have you here next spring (Aloha Virani, see you next week). Hope I can safe you a first edition Tabou signature mug (they are all numbered and we will use a different mold for the second edition). I hope the whole place is set up by then. Short update: we're open now for a month and it is going really really well. We get the people we wanted, KAHUNA KAWENTZMANN is rehearsing with his band and we had a fine article at a "City Magazine" that got us alot of customers. One thing I have to share is an email I received from the German gossip/fashion magazine GALA (www.gala.de) who want to do an article on the "TIKI TREND". I should do a google search on "how to keep celebrities away from your bar" if that will attract wannabe stars and other annoying folks. We had two production designers in last week who are working on a set for a daily soap. It will have a tiki bar. They will show me the model they're using to present their ideas next week. Will post pictures if possible. ...damn and we were hoping it would stay underground for a while!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! |

Just so amazing. Especially after seeing it in early March. It looks like every damned little drop of sweat and tears turned into sparkling tiki diamands and pearls that shine throughout the Tabou Tiki Room. It is just wonderful. You can travel around the world to finally find the greatest treasure in your own backyard. :) Cannot wait to inhale it in person. Definitly this month for more Interviews in Berlin. Thanks you guys for beating the tiki marathon and putting so much love in this project. Mucho Mahalos. The DVD of Tiki [ Edited by: Mogambo on 2004-11-26 04:47 ] |

I've back from this wonderful place where I spent 5 days. I had the pleasure to meet mister Sven and his girlfriend there, not long enough to alleviate my thirst of knowledge but I had a great time with them; I'll send plenty of pics of the bars and town and especially the tabou, who is the place I've been waiting to see in Europe for a long time. |
