Without
regular patrons the Tiki-Ti, like so many other tropical
bars, may have faded into tropical drink history.
But a small number of loyal customers have helped
keep the Tiki-Ti going strong over the years. And
that loyal customer base is growing every day. Many
by just coming in, others brought friends in that
soon became regulars themselves. Some are even second
generation Tiki regulars. Here we present a few of
the many patrons that have kept the Tiki-Ti going
for nearly 45 years.
The
Usual Suspects
are the people who are here almost every day at 6
PM sharp for the first tiki drink of the evening.
The
Big Board (Patrons of Rare Character)
are patrons who are long time regulars with over 20
years of of Tiki-Ti service. They not just regulars,
they are true friends.
Long
Time Patrons are the ones who were once
regulars at the Tiki. You see their card on the wall
and it may go back 10 or 20 years, but because they
no longer live in the area they can’t get to
the Tiki as often as they would like.
Regulars
are just that, they are regular Tiki-Ti partrons,
you see them often at the Tiki-Ti, some of them have
cards on the wall, and some are still working on their
wings.
(New
Section) New Friends at the Tiki. Besides
all the regulars and long time patrons there are always
new people at the Tiki-Ti. Here are some of them.
(New
Section) Your pix are here. If you send
us a pix in jpeg format, of you and your friends,
at the Tiki we might post it here. Send us a pix and
let us know who you are.
(New
Section) TikiTi (Mascot) Do you like
pussies? No, get your mind out of the gutter, we're
talking about little kitties. We now have a kitten
for a mascot called TikiTi.
Who’s
that at The
Door? Well on the weekends it is probably
Vicky and her best friend Debbie, checking I.D.s and
kicking some butt (if you try to get out of line.)
There are also a few others that help out, so if they
ask you for your I.D. please co-operate. Remember
the Tiki-Ti is very small bar, so we all need to respect
each other’s space.
If
you ever visit the Tiki on a Wednesday, you better
come early becuse we get invaded by the tropical shirt
wearing, tiki crazed, over the top, Tiki
Central people. Actually they are really
cool people, who get together at the Tiki-Ti on Wednesdays.
Vist the Tiki
Central Web Site run by Hanford Lemoore, and find
out everything Tiki, it's fun and, unlike the Tiki-Ti,
it's open all night.
Last,
but not least, we have our Tiki
Tribute to those patrons that are near
and dear to our hearts, but are now sipping a tall
cool tropical drink with the Tiki Gods and Ray in
the sky.
