OK, before I left for Vegas, I found these:
Next, on to Vegas! First, Frankie's. I know these aren't really "finds", but I'm gonna post 'em anyway. I was doing OK after the Bombora Blast & the Thurston Howl, but I shoulda saved the Tiki Bandit for another night! :lol: I had a killer headache, the next morning. I know, I know, I'm a lightweight!
Mike, the bartender, sure was generous with the swizzles & matchbooks, he put in my bag. Thanks, again, Mike.
Sorry, John-O. I didn't hit too many of your hotspots. I was too busy scouring the antique stores for this stuff.
A swizzle from the Hale Tiki & one of Tiki Lee's "business" cards. Great,idea, Lee.
A few Coco Joe's:
A Tiki bowl from the defunct, crappy Trader Vic's:
A nice pair of Made In Japan S&Ps:
I know this isn't exactly vintage, but for $20.00, I figured I could use it somewhere. Besides, where else is a guy from Massachusetts gonna find a piece of Tiki backglass from a slot machine?
A very cool, very well-carved outrigger, about 18" long:
My favorite Vegas find, a nice little bowl from the Aku Aku:
I picked these next 2 items up at SEMA. My buddy, Jimmy Flintstone, hooked me up with this little statue:
This next little number wouldn't fit in my carry-on, so I had to leave her behind! What a sweet, girl! Thanks, again, Doris!
Upon my return, I found these waiting for me:
Three mugs from The Islands in Phoenix:
A real nice little, Made In Japan, hula girl:
And a cool swizzle from the South Seas, Boston & West Hartford:
If you go to Vegas, be sure to hit Frankie's on Wednesday night. The local Ohana were great! I had a blast! thanks, again, everyone. See ya next year!
