Nice photo-travelogue, DC! I love spending a whole day doing urban archeology when I get the chance. I agree- that's one of the best A-Frames I've seen on a modernist church. I'll have to post pics of one in Torrance that looks like a giant Hershey's Kiss.

Here are some interior shots of the Santa Barbara Surfing Museum from the Feb/Mar 2009 issue of "Surfer's Journal". A really nice article about the founder James O'Mahoney with lots of drool-worthy photos. The layout of his museum gives me all sorts of ideas of how my tiki bar might change in the future to incorporate some glass cases for my collections.

:up: on the far left is what looks like a tiki pole, but what I think is actually one of those Korean protective-spirit totems.

:up: James Cook artifacts from the estate of Helen Ward, including Cook ring & seal; koa officer's chests; photo of cousin Sanford Dole; ancient maiden skull with shell halo.

:up: Nice giant clam on the floor and an Indonesian "tiki" mask on the wall.

:up: If anyone ever opens a Tiki Museum, it should look as cool and cluttered as this.

:up: Famous ukuleles, including Bing Crosby's, Mickey Rooney's, & Marilyn Monroe's uke from "Some Like It Hot"

:up: collection of Trader Vic's Honi-Honi cups. "Rell Sunn Dress - Kamhemeha - Holoku - 1 of 2 in existence."

Pick up the magazine if you can find it (last month's) - lots more photos than what I've posted.
