For those of you with tiki lounge lizard in your blood, I stumbled across these websites while looking for the venue for the upcoming Hot Tuna Acoustic concert in Honolulu (they play at the Palace Theater on Mar. 1). The Honolulu venue is the Hawaiian Hut. Here's some info on the place. I've never heard of it before, but it sounds interesting:

It's in the Ala Moana Hotel and one of the comments is that it apparently caters to Japanese tourists. You can go to YouTube and search for "Hawaiian Hut" and you'll see that there are Polynesian revues and Slam Poetry presentations using the venue.
Also, from the Hawaiian Airlines inflight mag, Hana Hou, there was a story about a tiki lounge act, Don Tiki. Their name came up in the Tiki Central Forum, too, having played at the aforementioned venue. Here are some links:

The Hana Hou website might have the article online, eventually.
