This coming Wednesday, Oct 9th, Me and Al (of the dynamic Al & Shelly Duo), have tentavly, er.. tintaveilly, ah ... tentivilly, shit! .. ARE THINKING ABOUT going on a little trek deep into the City. The plan is something like this: kick KC's (Beachdude Inc) door in at about 11:00 and roust his lazy ass up so we'zz can gander at his stuff for sale in the 'Garage 'O Mystery'; Next we wander aimlessly but somehow end up at Aloha Joes to well ... gander at his stuff for sale in the shop of delites. Now, (please be seated until intermission!)its off on 'KON TIKI 2.47'; we plan to prove without a doubt mind you, that a couple of crackers could travel deep into the city in a '86 Chevy Celebrity made completely of reeds, exist only off Jimmy's Fried Chicken and Waffles, traverse treacherous gangland waters and actually make it to Oceanic Arts on the island of Whitter; then, it's deeper into the City to the Bahooka where we'll revel in the Honky-Lau. If any other TC's want to take the 'ADVENTURE OF A LIFETIME (or at least an obscure Wednesday) let us know! If you have to work, no problem. I can either write you a note and sign it 'Ebstein's Mother' or you can call in sick. If calling in sick, I suggest this ploy: 'Hello, Mr. Schmedly, ah, this is Tiki Loafer, er ... I mean Bob. I'm ah, real sick. Just listen to this cough "Bahooka, Bahooka", I've got stuff that looks like Orgeat running out my nose, and my tonsils look like marichino cherries. Why if I don't see Dr. Leroy and Nurse Bob at the OA clinic I'll die.' |

Mr. Bong's wild ride! Yeah, sounds like fun and I would be totally down with this, but Mr. Schmedly's sending me off to Bean Town! Gotta put in my plug for Joe's Aloha Collectibles. I love that place! A little slice of Tiki Nirvana. Joe and his wife are really cool people who keep a friendly distance, but I would love to see them at some of these outings. I'll catch up with you later this month. I'm off to party with Tiki East! Aloha, Uncle Arty |

Al, When at Oceanic Arts, look at the inside top shelf on the right in the tiki mug case for some ultra-rare mugs. OA used to manufacture mugs in the 60's for a very brief period - the large mouth, cobra's fang, etc. They have them in that case. Other than in OA, I've never seen one anywhere else - not even on eBay! Enjoy your trip!! |

just a quick note.... Joe's Aloha opens at 12 noon, unless you can coax Bonnie or Joe to being there early for us.... and the store is sometimes closed on weekdays to accomodate their buying trips..... :tiki: |

Wednesday, 11:30am, October 9th.....NOW I read this post....GEEEZ....well, maybe next time. Hope you guys have fun! I'm in the midst of getting the Tiki Transporter running smooth as silk (including working a/c and heater. Currently a 6-seater, possibly a 9-seater, if I can find that 3rd seat somewhere) for future treks...and, of course, I don't mind being the designated driver. SugarCaddyDaddy

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. Next stop Joe's Aloha Our next stop Oceanic arts The Bahooka [ Edited by: Alnshely on 2002-10-11 09:55 ] [ Edited by: alnshely on 2002-10-11 16:35 ] |

A big Mahalo! to Bong & Al for a great Tiki road trip! I had to abandon ship when they weren't looking, but as far as I know, they are still out there.... sailing the seven seas! At least I made it to check out Bong's hut (very cool digs!), downtown Huntington Beach for breakfast, tour the House of Tiki in Newport/Costa Mesa, a tour of my humble pad, cruise by Joe's Aloha in Cypress, rape & pillage the staff at Oceanic Arts, flaming cocktails & pupus at Bahooka.... whew! Trustar caught up with us at Bahooka, all dressed up right perty like! Al, Bong, wherever you guys are.... go home! Your wives miss you! :tiki: |

Indeed a very fine adventure! The only thing better would have been to have more TC's hangin' with the boys. Al's right, Trader Pups pad is very cool. He has some very unique pieces, including a rare Tiki Bob's mug that is currently selling on ebay and should fetch almost $200. Al, as usual, was the man about town. He is in the words of Trader Vic, a man 'who, whenever they drink, prove able to carry it, enjoy it, and remain gentlemen'. |
