Brrrr.....that Tiki looks cold!!! 
Yes, if all goes as planned the exclusive interview with Bill Sapp the original owner of the legendary Kahiki restaurant will be in the next (Spring '08) issue of Tiki Magazine. Thanks to tikiskip and a few others it will be very informative. Bill is such a great guy. Also, the new pictures that have recently been discovered are simply amazing!
I even have a picture of the proposed "new" Kahiki that was going to be built near the riverfront in Columbus, Ohio. 
Cheers and Mahalo,
Jeff

I've seen a big version of that picture and the girl is hanging from a crane. You can see the ball and the sort of loop seat she is in.

Here are some lamps that popped up from the Kahiki.
And a table.
Some of the tables had a cool sticker on the back.
I think Ratzaroony will post that pic.

Wow, from when is that bowl? From the 70s? It's the only Moai I have seen from there that looks somewhat like the their artwork.

This bowl was planned for the Tropical Bistro but unfortunately never got produced. This is a prototype I believe.
It would be great to make these though!!
