Quartet"; cool jazz, Afro-Cuban and bossa nova, in the car, in the living room, pretty much anywhere; short-sleeved sport shirts, not necessarily aloha prints but plenty of those too; Warner Brothers cartoons from the 40s to early 60s - got no use for the Roadrunner ones; 50s-60s interior design, not just Tiki but Scandinavian and other sleek and/or groovy looks; my favorite movie: Blade Runner. Nope, I don't know how it fits either... Just free-associating, emspace.

Well, that just about does it, really. And it really does piss me off when the dog bites and the bee stings. -martin

B bamzeno Member Los Gatos, CA Joined: Mar 24, 2002 Posts: 106	B bamzeno Posted posted on Tue, Jan 21, 2003 9:54 PM Hey Hanford, you'll appreciate this one...back in the 70s, I saw The Banana Splits perform live in the back of a Ford pickup in the parking lot of the Alpha Beta grocery store in Mountain View. I love those wacky old shopping carts they had at Alpha Beta. You know, those tall, top-heavy carts which provided a greater fall for young daredevil passengers.

H hanford_lemoore Tiki Socialite Tiki Central Joined: Mar 23, 2002 Posts: 1899	H hanford_lemoore Posted posted on Wed, Jan 22, 2003 2:14 AM Bamzemo, that's great! Did they scare you? They would have scared me in real life. I think they scared me a little on TV too. I think that's why I love them so much today. I used to get the Wombles and the Banana Splits confused when I was younger. Wombles scared me. I thought my memories of (what turned out to be) wombles were really just nightmares I had about the Banana splits. It was only recently that I came across an old wombles LP and realized it wasn't a nightmare... it was REAL!!!! Ugh. They still creep me out. Drooper could kick all their asses with both hands tied behind his back. Check out the Wombles FAQ: http://www.scuzz.com/wombles/faq.html ~Hanford

Maybe you can take the mic and fart a tune for the astounded throng! I'm still trying to arrange transport, am pretty sure I'll be there. If so I will almost certainly be wearing my Reyn Spooner "Voodoo Mugs" shirt.

E emspace Member Vancouver Joined: Jan 05, 2003 Posts: 879	E emspace Posted posted on Wed, Jan 22, 2003 1:17 PM what was yoru first favorite scifi movie? That would be...slow swelling of haunting synthesizer background...sudden explosion of belching flames and timpani!...BLADE RUNNER!!! It's not just my favorite sci-fi, it's like my other obsession. I even have fan art up at a fansite: http://www.bladezone.com/contents/fan/art/Mike-Anderson/ . I just shelled out a whack of money to get the Romanian bootleg "complete" soundtrack CD (Vangelis official release lacked all kinds of great music from the movie). I dunno...it's funny, cuz I also love sci-fi with huge special effects (just saw Episdoe II on IMAX and was blown away), but I love BR cuz it's so subtle, and so designed to seem gritty and real. Also cuz it reminds me of a good Raymond Chandler or James Ellroy novel. Dark, brutal, gloomy. And I always cry at the end when poor old Roy Batty gives up the ghost...:cry:...and the music...everything. It just works for me as one great work of art. I could go on forever but I hope that answers your question! aloha, emspace.
T tikifish Member Toronto,Canada Joined: Mar 25, 2002 Posts: 2720	T tikifish Posted posted on Wed, Jan 22, 2003 1:59 PM Hanford - Thanks for the tip on the Eichler book - but my charming American husband (also on my list) already got it for me for Christmas. Woohoo! Actually he got me BOTH Eichler books, but I saved that one until last week to read, cause I wanted to draw out the experience. Even then I only looked at the pictures. I'm like one of those annoying kids who make their Halloween candy last til January.
H hanford_lemoore Tiki Socialite Tiki Central Joined: Mar 23, 2002 Posts: 1899	H hanford_lemoore Posted posted on Wed, Jan 22, 2003 2:41 PM Tikifish: The area I live in (palo alto/Mtn View) is an Eichler mecca. There are parts of Palo Alto you can drive through where every house is an Eicher that is freshly painted, with an immaculate garden, and little kids are riding their bigwheels down the street. It is really amazing. A lot of the people who live in them are Eichler fans and keep them decorated pretty true to their original design/concept. It really feels like you're in another time, except for the SUVs parked out front. Actually, it seems like every 5th or 6th house has a nice vintage car out front :wink: Next time you're in the San Fran area we should take a little day trip around Palo Alto. There's some amazing stuff. ~Hanford

Most of the homes haven't been altered too much.

Lots of great ones. And yes, my father in law sold his five bedroom Eichler about 8 years ago for next to nothing. I would have inherited an Eichler. I spend every day trying not to think about it. -martin [ Edited by: martiki6 on 2003-01-24 14:12 ]
T tikifish Member Toronto,Canada Joined: Mar 25, 2002 Posts: 2720	T tikifish Posted posted on Fri, Jan 24, 2003 2:12 PM Well I have been house hunting in the Toronto area for any sort of 50's type subdivision, but the only one I have found is about a 1 1/2 hour transit commute from my work. It IS on a transit line, but it's the very last stop in the east end... Some nice houses, and still very reasonable price cause of the commute and not-so-swanky area. Smaller link This is the cheapest one I found, and still beats the pants offa any house downtown. In downtown Toronto, you have no choice except to live in a badly renovated victorian house about 15 feet wide maximum. Ugh. Oh yeah, and you have to pay $500,000 for it too!
