I love the two-tone bamboo, the map is VERY nice, and table. Mr. PuPu, the two-tone wall with the different diameters of bamboo look too nice to just be a home bar - way too nice, too professionally designed. This bar is gonna be something extra special.

Thanks very much Junglero, you made my day. I know I'm no Bamboo Ben but when you share stuff, you kinda hope people notice. You are the only feedback/reply I've had in over three months. 
I'll probably be posting more updated pics very soon (I've been busy working on it). Thanks again for the encouragement. I really appreciate it.
Aloha and Mahalo,
John

I appreciate the appreciation!
Slightly off topic, but will there be any Tiki featured in the new Madagascar film, a la the bar scene in the first movie?
Cheers,
J.

My bother is up here in Seattle as part of a press tour leading up to the release of Madagascar 2. We had a Family and Friends screening of the movie at Pacific Place Mall. It's a GREAT movie (of course I'm biased) and in every way, it's better than the first one.
Not much Tiki to speak of but the Penguin that my brother voices (Skipper) falls in love with a dashboard Hula doll. Pretty funny.
This weekend, my wife and I are heading down to L.A. for the Hollywood premiere. Should be alot of fun.

Heh! That sounds funny, I'll look forward to seeing it when it makes it's way across the pond. The penguins are great characters. When I told my girlfriend your brother does the voice of Skipper, she freaked out a little bit (she loves the first movie): she said it's like six degrees of tiki separation!
Have a great weekend,
J.

PuPU, People are watching. I am from Tacoma and I know of the cool resturant off 38th St in the Lincoln District that you got your stock from. I am jealous in a big way. My buddy always told me of that Chinese place but I never went to check it out. Damn! I wish I had. Good luck on your cool pad. TT

Hi Guys, sorry I haven't posted in a while (and thanks very much for the encouragement and feedback.
I'm currently working on the basement entrance to Hula Sue's and here is the pre-vis I came up with as a plan. The picture in the background is an old one but gives you an idea of the layout. The upper thatched portion of the entrance is actually angled (about 45 degrees) toward the viewer. I'm putting a 'hole' in it to reveal a 'magic hour', lit, false sky 'outside'with possibly a few stars or a moon. The columns are all carved and there will be bamboo railings (not seen) that terminate in 3' tall Tiki poles (as newell posts at the bottom of the steps. This is all well underway and I'll post some actual pictures very soon (I promise).
Hope you're all having a great New Year,
John
