People Served: TC Members = 0 Tiki Sympathizers = 12 Souless Bastards = 178 Here are some pics of my home bar. The main two rooms are not yet finished so I left those pics out. This is also the current resting place of those great stools Ken (Keigs) made for me=) I solicited suggestions for names on this post: https://tikicentral.com/viewtopic-new.php?topic=6436&forum=1 After careful consideration and after a great suggestion , "Moonbase RongoRongo", from Johnny Dollar I decided on the Kahiki Moon Room for several reasons. Firstly, it is an homage to the supreme inland tiki mecca, the Kahiki. Also, I fell in love with the Hala Kahiki and used a lot of their ideas including cheesey black lighting and the wall matting. Following the space/moon theme is the 15 or so arcade video games that will be hidden from view with a couple of partitions that have yet to be finished. A lot of work ahead... FUN FACT Kahiki = Tahiti in Hawaiian Tahiti is nice (I've never been but I remember black sand beaches in "Endless Summer") Perry Ferrel's Porno for Pyros sang a song about the "Tahitian Moon".

The stools and the bar masks were carved by Keigs (Ken): https://tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=5741&forum=7&34 He is a great carver and a great guy. #1 I have some shelving also carved by Ken. The other tikis are original Witco. I've got about 150 games total. A lot are in storage. Best of all the games are set to free play. Here is a list of the games down here.

I see my old friend Tempest peeking out next to the juke box. Looks like heaven on earth in there. The Foggy Grotto has a poor but space effective substitute in the form of an x-arcade controller and MAME.

PK Primo Kimo Tiki Socialite Vermont Joined: Jul 08, 2003 Posts: 324	PK Primo Kimo Posted posted on Mon, Jan 19, 2004 3:38 PM Mahalo for the kind remarks. The Kahiki Moon Room is open anytime (try for 24 hour notice) for any one of you. Next time you're in Vermont please stop by=) The bamboo lamps are really nice. The maker informed me that these are smaller but acurate copies of a lamp seen in Tiki Room at Disneyland. There is a bit of an issue with them, however. All three of them split from top to bottom. I informed the maker and he is working with me on a solution. He is definately standing behind his product, but I hesitate to recommend them today until he/we can find a solution. I will keep you informed. Here is the link for now: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=35803&item=3266081341
