The side bar is in the same section as the train station. The Hula Girls performed there once.

Aloha!...and YES...THERE IS A FUNKY TIKI-HAWAIIAN THEMED BAR NEAR BY....NOW ,keep in mind this is more like a college hang out and not authentic in any way...they do serve a Huge drink called 'Fish Bowls"...they ARE NOT true tiki drinks ,but they pack a punch with 96oz. of alcohol and fruit juices :)Soooo... having said that, if you're interested in just hanging out and not getting pissed 'cuz no one knows how to make anything from the 'Grog Log'...go ck it out , it's on Harbor blvd. it's called 'the Palapa Grill' (good burgers)... of course there's always Sam's....either way, we'll see everyone tmrrw..ALOHA!....'there's always rum just around the corner'

Friday nights in Fullerton are "College" night out, & pure hell for folks like us (Rap music & drunk kids everywhere),
"Steamers" is a cool Jazz club but can be super packed on weekends.

Sam's is a good choice, but also crowded on weekends & you may end up waiting in line for some time to get in.

Those DARN kids!! :P

Aren't the Hula Girls playing at Don's? Can't we just bring a portable bar into the gallery?

i'm bringing a flask fulla Cinnamon Whiskey
the rest of you are on your own....

Lucas,
That's the Slide bar, not side bar.

For cool retro, I recommend the Continental room.

Just a 100 yards or so to the East of the gallery.
If Continental is full, Heros bar n grill is good too.

It's Rap & college kids at the Continental room on weekends.

Don't forget Ding Dong Devils at The Barkley tonight, Tikiyaki 5-0 at Tonga Hut PS tomorrow night, and Rhum Rum Club at Tonga Hut NOHO on Sunday.

There IS life outside of Orange County!

The good news is that you can find lots of parking even on a friday night at the train station itself, or the adjacent parking structure.....if you park at the train station, you can usually find spots that are unlimited time at the far east end of the parking lot...the ones that are always filled near the SLIDE bar ( :) ) are usually 3 hours only, and always taken...the train station is like 2 blocks east of where the art district is. Within walking distance.

I know all this because I am a train geek who use to go there all the time before the Kelley Thomas situation...and when there were indie bands playing right near the tracks at the santa fe cafe......

My response was mostly directed at ATP who seemed to only have his sights on the art show tonight and Don's tomorrow.

You are right Polypopster! I should have mentioned the other groovy goings on, but I thought
the question was, what else is going on in the Fullerton area after the Art show.

But the main question is how many is PolynesianPop going to hit, because he is a mad event attender extraordinaire!

Yea, my initial response was more sarcasm-ish. But guess it didn't come across as such.

Good to see that there is lots to do this weekend in the tiki circle. Now, that would be a lot of driving to each location for sure! Kudos to anyone who can pull it off, which I think you could do Adrian. :)

Not this weekend! I have to work :( BUT I will try and make it out to Fullerton tonight.

Just got back from the show. Doug, Toe , and Kinny were beyond dapper. Their art is some of the best I’ve ever seen. The pix on this thread cannot do em justice. You won’t be sorry if you get out to the gallery during this shows run.
Just a few pix-none of the art-most has already been “previewed here.
We arrived fairly early and snagged a LLT print and also one of Dougs.
Was I pleasantly surprised when I found out that I had inadvertently grabbed #1 0f 10 (both dougs and Kinnys)
Cheers
