Hmmmm...
Yes, I think that in order to to stay safely away from any misconceptions (real or imagined) that the Forbidden Island might nod, cavort or otherwise give creedance (not the clearwater variety) to tha' Raidah's or their beloved Nation, the location of said Island should be moved to Belmont.
Yes, Beautiful Belmont indeed!
Aloha,

Oooh! I have a great idea: We'll open our own bar and make it sports-themed! Imagine, team banners all over the wood panel walls; football helmets & giant screen tv's everywhere - even the bathroom! And busty waitresses and free peanuts and sports trophies lining the barback! And drinks named after every sports team ever (we'll keep the bartender duties simple by just making them all long island iced teas with different swizzles). I can't believe no one's thought of it before.

That's the strangest mix ever - a bunch of 70s AOR hits and 4 "tiki" songs thrown in. PARRR-TAAAAY!
It also suggests that buyers of "Drew`s Famous - Kon Tiki Luau Party Music" might also like the soundtrack to Brokeback Mountain. ???

Such wonderful news!
I'll definately drive up for the opening and pack plenty of Hodad's secret hangover cure for the day(s) after!
I am sooooo jelous!
I'd briefly discussed partnering with the former owner of Guava Beach in San Diego to completely Tikify his baja-style Cantina about seven years ago. We'd taken some baby steps with Grog Logs behind the bar, Tiki mugs for regulars waiting for them on the shelves, discussions with resident MB carvers and a plan to mosaic the gas fireplace on the west wall into a fire-breathing Tiki guardian a la Kahiki, but it all fell apart when my friend embraced an opportunity to become a "porn king" ...(don't ask).
Since I couldn't do it alone I watched sadly as two subsequent owners later the place has become a Red Bull fueled sports bar.
