First off, our friend Dave Erickson is an incredibly talented architectural photographer and he came by on Sunday to take some professional photos. There are more comin', but he sent us a couple teasers right away... Hope you enjoy 'em - of course we'll post the others when we get 'em... The hallway entrance.... ....A shot looking from the base of the stairs, just as you enter the room, looking toward the main wall of mugs and main seating area.... And a gorgeous one of the whole panoramic scene. If you're looking in this direction, the Mermaid's Cove seating area are behind you. Dave is a photographic wizard... I don't know how he made our tiny little hideaway look so spacious! Here's that same photo, blown up into two sections so you can see the nooks n' crannies a little better... Side one, with the main seating area, creature "taxidermy" mount, Orchids of Hawaii seahorse lamp (repurposed as an end table), a big United Airlines Tiki, and the main wall of mugs... Side two, with the bar area, seating area, diving helmet lamp, big PNG shield, and another mug shelf... A close-up of our creature mount... we actually had a little plaque made to make it look more like a trophy mount (than the Halloween decoration that it is...) All was actually "done" enough with the bar that we officially broke it in with a proper shindig with friends on the 4th of July... Photo credits to a bunch of our pals. Hopefully they don't mind being on TC! If anybody recognizes themselves (or wants me to take something down) just holler... Some great shots from our pal Ben... Main mug wall: Bar Back: Puffers n' piranhas n' mermaids in Mermaid Cove: A few shots, with a flash, to capture some of the details in the nooks and crannies (and a few pals...) My wife made us awesome aloha outfits to match the wallpaper in the hallway - an awesome Michael Uhlenkott design... I spent a bunch of the party tending bar, but I love doin' it... ...I also love savoring the final product! We'll have more photos in the future from other parties 'cuz... there will be more parties! Hope ya dig it! --Pete
