King Kini

About Me

King Kini, a scorpio, is the suave host and dj who presided over Minneapolis' rum-soaked Club Velvet lounge and its internet counterpart. Kini's a fan of barware and bongos, lobster and chihuahuas. He plays the guiro and has been known to talk about himself in the third person.
