As a 37 year-old father of two, I can only pretend to get out as much as I think I should. For a view from the trenches, I now can rely on Tim Denevi. He did his first post last week on the wacky world of Tiki's in Waikiki (for visitors more than residents, but still a noteable if sometimes naughty place). A graduate student at the University of Hawaii's creative writing program and a tippler who's on top of the latest libation trends around town, Tim's my man at the bar. Welcome, Tim! Readers, you'll be hearing more from him. If you have bar coverage or beverage coverage suggestions, write to us at tips@hawaiirama.com. Mahalo and a hui hou!
