Hiya Bobby, [snip] I’m THRILLED you are opening a cool Valley Bar… All I know is that I sure picked a bad time to lease out my Eichler in Granada Hills :( and move to the south end of the Valley. [snip] Here are some other fun name ideas from me: OKAY please forgive me for coming up with TOO MANY names… : Futura Girl on 2004-11-04 06:03 ] I like the Lava Pit!!!

B bigbrotiki Tiki Socialite Tiki Island, above the Silverlake Joined: Mar 25, 2002 Posts: 11621	B bigbrotiki Posted posted on Mon, Nov 15, 2004 1:05 PM I went and took a look at the place, it is going to be nice. Small but done with love. It is in an old strip mall right where the 5 and 118 fwys meet, Sepulveda exit,on the other side than that ole BBQ place (the Bear Pit?), on Chatsworth. I talked to Bobby and agreed with him that the name has to have Tiki in it, and though he really liked Vali Hai, and The Leiaway, it is most likely to be... Lucky Tiki ! Might not be the most original, but it is commercial, and we all want these places to make their rent, which means it must appeal to people other than just us, too. That name is catchy, and it has appeal to the Rockabilly crossover crowd, PLUS it makes for a nice logo with a story. I proposed Kevin Kidney to make a rendering of the logo Tiki. I think it all should start with a strong image. I believe a good concept character that follows through all the way from front door Tiki to the menu to the swizzle stick is the way to go.

The place is gnarly. Pitched roof booth, lava rock volcano fire pit. sparkly blue sky, bamboo every-freakin-where! Just down the street from school for me, so can't wait to see it as often as possible.

A new tiki bar is extraorinarly exciting! TikiTOny: Are you doing the bar stools for the Lucky Tiki, or did you just to by for inspiration? If so, are you doing anything else for the decor? Good seeing you and the Adrift crew Saturday at the Cruz show! [ Edited by: christiki295 on 2004-11-16 16:52 ]
TB Tiki Bob Tiki Centralite Joined: Oct 19, 2004 Posts: 41	TB Tiki Bob Posted posted on Thu, Nov 18, 2004 2:24 PM Aloha Tiki enthusiasts! Thanks to all of you for your overwhelming response to the "Name That Tiki Bar" contest. We had so many creative submissions that it was hard to choose just one name. But, we finally picked a winner....drum roll please...."The Lucky Tiki" submitted by Terri Burton of Sherman Oaks, California. We'd like to give you some insight into how the name was chosen. After careful thought, it was decided that having Tiki in the name would be good. After all, folks looking for the bar would have no problems on search engines or 411 calls looking up the Tiki bar in the Valley. So, we narrowed down our favorite submissions with Tiki in the name. The Lucky Tiki was our favorite. Special thanks to our old friends Otto von Stroheim of Tiki News and Sven Kirsten author of the Book of Tiki for their help in choosing the name. Thanks also goes out to Lee Joseph of Dionysus Records for organizing the contest. Second runner up was the Valley Hai submitted first by Sven Kirsten (also submitted by several others of you) will be one of our specialty drinks. We would like to use another submission, the Enchanted Drinking Room as one of our Lucky Tiki slogans. Thanks again! We will keep you posted with details of the Lucky Tiki as well as sneak preview photos of the interior. Hope to see all of you at the Lucky Tiki! Mahalo, Bobby Green and the crew and staff of the Lucky Tiki
