Our Oceanic Arts trip was a real Tiki adventure. (Nice ride SCD, you're driving next time). I met Trader Pup and Tiki Bong at Casa de Bong in Hunington Beach. Kevins house is packed with cool Hawaiiana and the garage bar is growing bigger by the day.(An interesting note: one of Kevins neighbors is Robert August, surf legend for nearly 4 decades). after eating at "The Sugar Shack" we headed to Newport. (Sorry Ben, I didn't see your post 'till later). Our first stop, House of Tiki.

The next stop in our Tiki travels was Trader Pup's place. Pup lives in a cool house built in the 50's. It's really great. Along with a cool Tiki collection, Teri collects Disney and has the greatest Kitchen chicken collection I've ever seen.



This is August Holland's "other" Idol painting. I had never seen it. I made Pup Put it in the backyard so I could get a good pic of it.

Next stop Joe's Aloha








Japanese Barbarella poster. I always thought Jane Fonda was hot, even though she is a pinko.

No way, the original Dr Evil.

Joe's Aloha gets high marks in my book. A very, very cool store. Good prices, I got The Hawaiian Eye Album for $15.00, Aloha Cruz is selling one for $95.00

I love this place.

The Bahooka






The Harpoon

Pup, Bong and Al

The big Fish
Truestar caught up with us at the Bahooka. We had a great time.
We ended up at Dukes in Hunington, for a night cap. We were hoping Corky Carrol would be playing at Dukes , but, someone else was playing. Dukes didn't have a whole lot of hawaiiana, but, they did have some.




Aloha, my brothers.
