'Do bears shit on Popes?" is the gist of her response. So off we go to gather as many of WPlugger's concrete tiki's as the husbands, trunks and back seats will allow. The following are pics of the newest wave of painting tiki's over cocktails and the ruining of manicures. Loki & Stumpgrinder have many more pics to share. E33 & LuRu also have/will have pics. I believe I can speak for all of the South Florida FOM'ers that we are proud to be part of the Mai Kai in a small way. some supplies next one pre painted by Will who is casting the molds. rubbing in red highlights adding black aging Will calls this a fruit holder. The base color was terra cotta red. Chip adding pin stripes A war club, my favorite piece. All Chip work. Some finished product.

Laud locals though--keep it real-and old school!!!! Nice job!

All the previous additions, or re-additions, really made the place look better last visit. You guys should get a Mai Kai badge. Or a few pitchers of Mai Kai "badges" if you know what I mean.

These guys are much brighter overall because they are going behind the water-windows in the Molokai Bar. You will be seeing them from inside a dark bar, looking through a window that is being rained upon, into an area that is lit primarily with up-lights. The result is a Tiki that looks weird in the daylight, but when seen in its 'natural environment' looks perfect. We have lots more pictures, and WPlugger is making more just as fast as the concrete can dry.
