Thanks so much to all of you.
Your comments really lifted my spirits and made my day. For now, my medical situation remains the same but I have been slowly making some progress on Hula Sue's and will try to post some new information very soon. (I'm trying to gear up for a 'premiere' party for my brother's upcoming film, Madagascar 3, in June.)
Thank you all again for such truly kind words.
Take care 
John

John -
I was sharing this with some coworkers, and they were awestruck to say the least!
Happy thoughts on recovering to 100%!
Looking forward to your next post and update!
Mahalo and Aloha!

Amazing work. Followed the thread back to the beginning. Love the concepting. When you are done with it (probably will never be officially complete) you should collect your sketches and images and create a little book to show your guests.
Speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing more!!!

Aloha John,
Great to hear from you, but not that things aren't progressing on your recovery as well as could be hoped. Please be sure to take care of yourself, many of us like to use your work for inspiration.
Malama Pono.

John, I am new to Tiki Central and have just spent 2 hours looking at this thread. First up, I hope you are feeling better. I am so sorry about your accident. Next I want to say that your photos and your room are the most amazing thing I have seen in a long time. Every photo of the progress is awe-inspring until you get to the next one. You are a creative genius. I am so looking forward to seeing more of your dream come to life on this thread.
Have fun at the Madagascar premier. My 8 year old son and I can't wait to see it. He keeps telling me "June 8th, mommy!!!" He is marking the days on a calendar.
Cheers!
Yasmine

Hi John -
Just checking in to see if things are going well, and if you accomplished the goal of getting the bar done by the Madagascar 3 wrap/premiere party?
Cheers!

When you get "done" with your lounge John, you can easily charge admission for the tours. Looking forward to seeing more pics of your work. I am keeping my eyes on that airline seating as it is just totally genius!!! Along with your figurehead bamboo bar and mapped booth. Keep those pictures coming. Hope you are recovering well.

Sir Pupu pants,
Your postings have been an inspiration and a terrifying challenge to me! I simply cannot put into words what I'm sure everybody that has EVER looked at your thread feels. I wish you a full recovery, and congratulate you on an accomplishment that few (if any) could ever achieve, even if it never gets "finished." I can guarantee you that there isn't a single soul on these boards who would give their right coconut for what you've already done in your basement!
I will be starting my own build soon, and rest assured; I WILL steal a LOT of your ideas. Thank you, thank you, thank you for the inspiration!
Aloha,
Tiki Tex
