H Howland Tiki Socialite Upstate, SC Joined: Jan 30, 2006 Posts: 751	H Howland Posted posted on Wed, Apr 21, 2010 8:35 PM Thanx, Hakalugi (and MDM)! Just realized a few days ago that there was a new (to me) home bars thread. I've been so out of the TC loop for so long, mainly because I just haven't added to/created much for the Jungalero in a while. I do have some new pics of a few upgrades and new pics of older stuff I'll have to post now that I have new incentive --gimme a day or so :D

I was going to make an announcement before the mag came out or when they mailed me my copy. I didn't even know the issue was out yet, first I've seen of it. Super, guess I'll make the announcement now.

Just got back from our local Barnes&Noble but they haven't arrived there yet. Taps foot patiently. Looks like they edited my interview down a bit. I emailed them at least twice the text you see on the mag page and had 2 follow up interviews over the phone. Hope it's not too bad.

I can't believe they didn't send you a pre-release copy! Looks like I need to head down to my Barnes and Noble too. DC
B bigbrotiki Tiki Socialite Tiki Island, above the Silverlake Joined: Mar 25, 2002 Posts: 11621	B bigbrotiki Posted posted on Wed, Dec 28, 2011 2:08 PM How cool! And the photos actually look like good lighting, too! I really believe that with the craft cocktail revival re-inspiring Tiki culture and the economy still being on the fritz, home bars will be the main Tiki reserve where the style is celebrated and propagated throughout the country. Articles like this will help that. Now JP just has to do the book. :D

H Howland Tiki Socialite Upstate, SC Joined: Jan 30, 2006 Posts: 751	H Howland Posted posted on Wed, Dec 28, 2011 8:16 PM Thnx Spermy, DC, BigBro. DustyC, Supposed to have a copy in the mailbox any day. Easing it's way from west coast to the east I guess. Sven -yes the photographer never used a flash and I forewarned him that there would be no such activity in the bar area;) It still looks brighter than real life presence. I like and agree with your statement about home bars being the main Tiki reserve, one of my top reasons to create a home Tiki space. Yes, JP....book? Soon? I'd be honored to be in it, just as I am to be featured in the imbibe mag. Congrats to Bosko as well for being featured in the mag. Can't wait to get my hands on a copy. I know there are so many great home bars here on TC that would've made a greater appearance than mine in imbibe but opportunity knocked and I answered. Cheers to all the other great home bars and may your day in the sun come soon!

I watched your home bar come together when you first started this thread. Hard to believe it's been over 5 years! Your great bar is definitely worthy of the two-page spread in Imbibe. I got my issue in the mail yesterday and flipped right to it. You should be proud! And it's great exposure for true mid-century tiki style. Would love to see your bar in person some day! Cheers...

J JONPAUL Tiki Socialite Venice, California Joined: Jan 12, 2010 Posts: 140	J JONPAUL Posted posted on Thu, Dec 29, 2011 7:06 PM Major congratulations, Howland! It must be satisfying to know that all of your hard work paid off in the form of such glorious printed, public acclaim! The place really does look incredible, and the photographs are well done, even from viewing them small. I'm absolutely dying to get my hands on a copy! So great that other wonderful folks like Bosko and Suzanne received some attention as well. Yes, I have been seriously working on my 'Home Tiki Bar' book for some time now. It's funny...the deeper one gets into actual work on a book, the more one realizes how much there still is to do!!!! Every time I think I'm closer, I'm that much further away. I did put it on the back burner for a bit recently to work on certain portions of the other book I'm working on due to some exciting interest, but have plans to kick work up in a big way after the first of the year. There are still a few remaining essential pieces of the puzzle that involve some travel, but I'm hoping to have it much closer to completion very soon. As always, major thanks goes to bigbro for his positive encouragement and support. He is an incredible inspiration!

Congrats on the spread - I just ordered the back-issue to be shipped out to me here in Oz as I'm not sure if it's stocked in the newsstands here.
