After having posted a moment ago in another thread. I got to thinking of a Tiki Bucket List of sorts. In the last year I have knocked off many of mine. Not too difficult of a list for many, though a bit difficult for me finding myself in the middle of our big Island in Austin. Ive been able to hit up many Tiki Bars from the Tiki Ti out West to the Lost Lake in the North. As well ones closer to home such as the Lei Low in Houston. My visit to Oceanic Arts was second only to actually having a real Dole Whip. I finally was able to see one of the Moai from the Aku Aku for myself in person. I would love to still find a Tiki Bob mug in the wild or any Ren Clark mug for that matter. As a lover of street art the idea of carving dead trunks in to gods appeals to me as well after seeing whats been done out East. Thoughts of repainting the Bob in San Francisco to original colors in the middle of the night has an air of a devilish good time. Heck putting faces to names here would be great... What are some of yours? |

Ok, i'll play along. This is my third trip to the U.S. in 4 years and i have to say that i am extremely fortunate to have seen a lot of places and next week i'll be hitting the east coast and will be able to add to this list. On the bucket list are: Three Dots and a Dash All of the above places i will be most likely seeing and there are others planned along the way, but they are just bonuses. Below are the places i've seen on me previous trips. I have been to Tiki Oasis and The Hukilau and this year will being to Luau at the Lake and Tiki Oasis again. CALIFORNIA Smuggler's Cove LAS VEGAS Frankie's Tiki Room ARIZONA Kon Tiki Tucson FLORIDA Mai-Kai Restaurant and Polynesian Show TEXAS Lei Low Bar HAWAII La Mariana Sailing Club AUSTRALIA (haha) Tiki Lounge and Bar - Melbourne As far as those on my bucket list i wont get to see this trip, i too would like to attend an International Market Place, Tiki Caliente and Latitude 29. Unfortunately there was just no way i could fit Latitude 29 into this trip with the time and finance restrictions i had. The only thing i'd really like to find in the wild, which i doubt very much i ever would in Australia, is a dinner plate from ANY defunct tiki restaurant. The problem is i'm too lazy to hunt through plates while i'm out thrifting so the chances of that happening are pretty slim. |

Posted today by Swizzle; Robbie, I have gone trough uncountable stacks of dinnerware at thrifts, yard sales, estate sales, etc. and never found a one. CeCe finally snagged one at the International Mrktplace at a quite reasonable price. [ Edited by: nui 'umi 'umi 2015-06-13 23:08 ] |

Swanky's home bar is great, and he make great drinks too. The best time I ever had was going to the Kahiki at like 2:00 in the afternoon. With that said, I want to go to Samoa or some other island where they make tapa and learn how That or go and visit some old person who ties fish floats and watch them do what they do. Ohhh get tips from a headhunter on how to shrink heads, I got a need for THAT. Want to learn that dying art stuff. Sitting in a loud bar or a huge event with drunk crazies is kinda old news for me. |

Gosh...my bucket list is simple...I just want to go back in time and spend one evening again at Kona Kai. A little time travel shouldn't be so hard to whip up, eh? Ha ha ha. But if I'm forced to come back to reality (so boring!), then my immediate, attainable number one was Ohana Luau at the Lake, which is actually just a couple hours away. But by the time I got my act together, tix were sold out :cry: Other things on my list are: And now I have to go to Trader Sam's, Orlando. It wasn't very nice of them to open it up just a few days AFTER I came back from Disneyworld :P And I'd actually like to get to experience Hawaii & the islands someday. Since I've been wanting to go since I was like a tiny peanut. Hmmm...I think I better plan on living a good long life... |

Hate to say it John-O.... but you're too late for that one too. They tore the building down in 2009. :( Marlin has a bunch of stuff in storage that I'd love to see brought back to life. |
