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 |

Thanx for the post BB! 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. |

Did not mean to spoil your announcement. I just wanted to share. IMBIBE is a great magazine and it's pretty cool that they included your place. |

Hey -no spoilage Bongo, I was just surprised to see it out already. 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. |

Howland, Congratulations on the magazine spread for your A+++ lounge. 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 |

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 |

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! |

Didn't know Suzanne's bar was featured as well (I still don't have the mag yet) -congrats to Suzanne too! I did get a PDF file in my email inbox this morning from Imbibe that had a pic of the cover and the Jungalero article. Will attach. Cheers! |

Congrats Brad! Glad to see one of our own getting some well deserved exposure. 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... |

The article was glorious, gorgeous, and such a nice tribute to some really stunning home bars. Howland, just WOW! And Bosko, I'm drooling! Mahalo everyone for the nice comments on my place, too!

Hey Howland, how's it going? 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. One of the best hand built home bar, patio, yard projects ever!! |
