Oh, and by the way I nominate Ernest T. Bass as Tiki Oasis President for 2013. He already looks a lot like Otto, right? Holy crap, could somebody carve an Ernest TIKI?!?!?!

J JOHN-O Tiki Socialite Dogtown, USA Joined: May 16, 2008 Posts: 2721	J JOHN-O Posted posted on Wed, May 8, 2013 6:41 PM A bump for Tiki Oasis. Has anyone ever been to this place ?? In a neighborhood full of cheesy tourist bars, this Kuhio Ave hole-in-the-wall is a real Hulabilly anomaly... It's probably the only "Shit-Kicker" bar where you can order a Mai Tai without getting your ass whooped. I remember stumbling into this place several years ago but I only drank beer. So are Urban Cowboys "Tiki" ?? They are in Hawaii !! :)

This will be a great year for closet cowboys. :)

BV Big Vic Member Joined: Aug 24, 2010 Posts: 107	BV Big Vic Posted posted on Sat, May 11, 2013 6:39 AM I have returned to the Kings Inn every year. Now I know the manager and also the front desk gal. They have been there for years. It's nice to return to a place that remembers you and greets you with a big smile and asks what's the theme for your room party this year! Oh and the waffles ROCK!
C Cammo Member San Diego Joined: May 18, 2006 Posts: 2041	C Cammo Posted posted on Sun, May 12, 2013 7:40 AM The King's Inn waffles are known all over town, they use a malted flour and you can get them full size or "mini" which go great with a cup o' joe first thing: They also have a GREAT mexican food restaurant called the Amigo Spot that serves some of the best tamales in town, super sizzling high-rise fajitas, and happy hour specials. The food comes with little mexican flags on it. You arrive at the Amigo Spot from outside across a drawbridge. It's a mid-60's motel maintained perfectly. I find it bizarre that people coming to Tiki Oasis complain that the King's Inn is an "old place" with "strange headboards" on the beds but they'll "stay there anyway." ?!?!?!?!? They dress up someone in a Waffle King costume on weekends who walks around waving at his subjects. The heck with the St. Louis Arch, THIS should be a national treasure.

Cammo is there an " Original Pancake House " in the area?, because that's a good breakfast place in my book I eat at the one near Fallbrook. [ Edited by: Atomic Tiki Punk 2013-05-13 16:44 ]
J JOHN-O Tiki Socialite Dogtown, USA Joined: May 16, 2008 Posts: 2721	J JOHN-O Posted posted on Mon, May 13, 2013 4:20 PM Enough of this food talk. :evil: Save it for Breakfast Oasis 2014 !! In the meantime here's an interesting Hillbilly Pop Culture factoid... What fictional hillbillies share almost the exact same time line as Mid-century Tiki (and pre-Tiki) style ?? Li'l Abner !! This daily comic series debuted in 1934, the same year Donn Beach opened his Beachcomber Cafe in Hollywood. The strip was written by Al Capp and continued to be published in newspapers for an astonishing 43 years, ending in 1977. The previous year we saw the opening of Trader Vic's Atlanta, the Bahooka in Rosemead, and the Chef Shangri-La in Chicago. I think it's safe to say those were the last establishments of the original Tiki period. So for every day you could imbibe in a Zombie cocktail, you could enjoy the daily exploits of Li'l Abner and the wacky denizens of Dogpatch. I never really paid attention to the strip during its original run, but I have discovered its satirical loopiness in reprint collections. I understand the characters even traveled to tropical islands. I wonder if they encountered any Tikis there ?? In over 15,000 published adventures, I would have liked to think so. And I'm looking forward to one of the T.O. room parties serving up this iconic concoction this July... EDIT - And here's your mixer... [ Edited by: JOHN-O 2013-05-13 16:40 ]

And this has nothing to do with it, but I though it was worth mentioning. Just want to remind everybody that "Hulabilly is an American music style derived from the blending of ROCKABILLY and Haole Hawaiian music." I feel like the enthusiasm for this theme is heavy on the HILL-billy side of things. Don't get me wrong, I love hillbilly. It co-exists and pre-dates rockabilly... Just wanted to make sure people realize that ROCKABILLY is the big theme driver for this year's Tiki Oasis.

Anyone who says different will be getting a visit from poltergeist Elvis (Polter-Elvis? Elvis-Geist?) and he shall be a rock-in & sway-in in anger!

Thanks Spike for getting this out there, as my initial reception was Hulabilly is not the same as Hillbilly, yet that is where a majority of posts are going with the latter theme. Know your themes!
