The first (and so far only) tiki bar I ever went to. Late 70s/early 80s. I think it was a work related thing for one of the 'rents. Don't remember the specifics, only the overwhelming "wow" factor. Hope to get back next time I'm in Tucson (which doesn't happen frequently enough).
Anybody got a re-dedication mug they wanna get rid of????
Any idea of what mugs they used back in the day???

We've been taking a rest from the whole Tiki Scene for a while, but I wanted to pop in and remind folks that we are indeed, still alive and kicking down here in Tucson. We miss our many friends that we have made here on TC and long to see you all soon.
In da meantime, I just re-did the Kon Tiki web site, and ended up using several photos taken by another TC'er at the Relight The Night event we put on a couple of years back. I stupidly didn't make a note of who graciously provided them and wanted to give him (at least I think it was a Him) credit.
If you're reading this and it was you, or if anyone else remembers who took all those cool pix, can you let me know?
Mahalo and Cheers!
Oh, a linky to the Kon Tiki web site might help. The pictures are, unsurprisingly, in the 'Gallery':

What a wonderful rendering for the home page. Classic mod menu illustration style in this tradition:
