Sorry CC, didn't mean to ignore you, I just try to address the broader interest group in general...and I still am interested in that "Salton Tiki" painting by Anne, (just don't know if I can afford it):
The "Salton Tiki" was one of the first lost Tiki joints that caught my curiosity in the 80s, not because of itself so much, but because the whole COMMUNITY it was in was "lost". I loved going out there, exploring the run down trailer parks and delapidated Yacht clubs on both shores. I shot an "Underground" movie by the Albert Frey yacht club, filming skating in the broken up pool (a la Dog Town), staying at the Motel there. This vast expanse of stinky water with it's dead fish lining the shores prfectly fit my morbid sensibilities.
You can imagine my dissappointment when I saw the recent feature "Salton Sea" and only found the faintest glimpses of that great environment in it. What a wasted chance to feature a great location.
And now I hear they are cleaning up the places, what a shame, glad I took some pics while out there two years ago...
