Aloha Tiki Freaks!!
Just got back home an hour ago ( for a day) ( then off to another LA job aka Cha Cha, then back to the Kona Club for the final punch, Punchie!) , so here are a few of the working pics as promised. ( I might be a hard ass once in a while but I'm a dedicated hard ass!! Arrr!!)
Hallway to the head.
back wall of the Long Hut. ( of course the lighting will be different stupid!!)
Bobbie Daddy Wax ( aka Bobbie Beeswax, Bobbie Minwax, Bobbie Mustachewax, etc. to C'Al and I only) of Soul. He was a dj back in the early 70's in Detroit who had a 18" afro!! He never had a bumper sticker on any of his cars, ever! Until he met me. Super nice bro and a hell of a dancer. " You Got to Have SOUL!!!! SOUL!!!" # 5612 on the box.
Will know sometime in the near future when the Kona Club will be open to the masses. I'll post here and there as soon as I know. Keep an eye and an ear out. Save that sick day for that last minute tiki bar run!
10-4. over and OUT!

(anyone out there in tikiland work for Dewalt?? I wonder if they would want to sponsor me???)
Looking from the front entry ( bar to be on the right)to the " short hut" in the back, past the "shrine" for the life-size brass hula girl lamp that hula's.
