Beautiful work Ben!

Ahhhh, if HB wasn't so far away I would have a brand new Benboo bar in the tiki room.

Wishing you a successful weekend in finding new home for all that great work!

Arrrrrrrrgh.

Ben, you're work is beautiful!

I'm with you Lake, I think someday I may need to make a tiki pilgrimage to the West coast and haul back a trailer full of cool stuff.

At least we've got the Tiki Terrace around here, and tonight's $3.00 Mai Tai night!

What?!!

50% off at Ben's in Huntington and Oasis in SD at the same time????!!! How am I supposed to be in two places at once? I haven't done the zygote thing in years.

Arrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!! I think I'm getting a splitting headache...

Ben
you ready to ship to NYC area yet!!

good times

Aloha Out of Town Tiki Freaks!

Sorry. No shipping yet. But! If you can find a person in the area with one of those handy dandy camera phones......
( only if we know you).......you might be able to shop via 3rd person and then have them ship it?

Something like that.

p.s. We'll have a website sometime soon...............

( But! you probably won't be able to buy from it. Sorry.)

p.s.s. The store is packed to the gills with tons of Tiki and tons of Tacky. But, no Tacky Tiki (That's what the Giant Corporations are for). We at Bamboo Ben, are all about, all different, all the time!!!

p.s.s.s. Hodad, is that from Scanners? Got me a new drill toady!

Al ooooooo HA !

Kim from Orlando, Fl. stopped by today on her rounds before Oasis and snagged the routed tiki on the right. So, kiss that one good bye!

She's way cool and was way stoked. She picked up her complimentary Bamboo Ben 70% Bamboo T-shirt too! The thing is, she might have to wear it for a while because the airline lost her luggage!! (bastards!!! Arrrr!!)

Yahoo!

I live about a mile away and have been meaning to stop by and take a look around. I have a Tiki party I need to buy stuff for and the timing on this couldn't be better! I have no idea how I'll get anything big back to my house with my small car, but I'll worry about that later.

Awesome, awesome. I feel like I just got something taken care of and I haven't even stopped by yet...

BUMP

Sale held over for the post Oasis blues

this weekend, 5/13 and 5/14

Happy Mothers Day!

Mom Rocks!

Aloha Bamboo Ben-

After what was no doubt my most exciting tiki road trip yet to the west coast, I made it back to O.Ville with the tiki in tow and intact. It took the airport security guys a couple of passes under the scanner to see what was under all that bubble wrap........but I heard them exclaim after a few inquisitive looks......NICE TIKI!! I referred them to the logo on your shirt that I was wearing, even though it wasn't my only choice of clothing as the airline did finally locate my luggage in Phoenix. Go figure. Anyway, visiting your studio was one of the highlights of my trip and you were so gracious with your time and showing me around the place. I really appreciated the experience. I had a hard time choosing what to bring back with me as I wanted one of everything. One of my fondest memories of the Tiki Oasis VI weekend will be you and the Trader Mort mug. Never has one tikiphile taken such good care of a mug...............it was with you from beginning to end! Never did you lose site of the goal which was to put the mug to good use. Way to go Bamboo Ben. Thanks for passing the aloha spirit my way. Long live Tiki :)

Karbora

Bimp!!!

Forgot to take the sign down.

Last weekend for sale.

6-3 and 6/4

Doh!

Finally on a payday AND I'm in town! Look out, here I come!

Yahoo! I'm never in that area, but am on my way up to LA for the Weekend and my friends wanted to swing through HB on the way home anyway! Looking forward to finally visiting on Sunday!

Just wanted to say thanks again for a great shopping experience yesterday. I made it to the store just in time and came home with armloads of amazing bargains! Mahalo tons to Mrs. Boo, who was wonderfully patient as I ran around trying to see everything there was to see right when she was getting ready to close up shop (and she didn't even smack my friend when he asked if she was Ben!)

I picked up a great mug shelf and a very cool Tiki art piece that will soon grace my bedroom wall, plus some extra glasses. I wish I had a bigger place (and a truck!) so I could've taken even more. Prices were great even before the sale discount, which made them just unbelievable! With the super soft free t-shirts on top of that, we practically couldn't have made a better deal if they were paying us to take the stuff out of the store!

Definitely recommended to anyone who hasn't been yet; I'm going to have to take the Huntington Beach detour more often!

hi 8ft, pm me your address, I will get it for you when I go. No problem.

Amy

great to see you and Vicki ben, thanks for the sale, cool stuff, already hung it up :)

Amy

We were afraid that all the good stuff would be gone by Sunday, but there was still a great selection. It was hard to make a choice because there was so much to see.

We ended up buying this cool little tiki hut by Bamboo Ben, which will be used to display our favorite tiki or mug. A steal at only $15.00!

Then Crazy Al showed up with his stuff, and we had another difficult choice to make. We bought this one, and put a deposit on another that he had already roughed-out. We can't wait to see the finished product!

Of course, the best part of the day is seeing Crazy Al in action. Nobody can swing a mallet and chisel like this guy!

Aloha Friends of the Bamboo Ben Tribe,

Wow! What a Crazy 3 Daze. Compare this pic to the one earlier when the store was packed. Looks like a tornado blew threw...

Here's another pic....

Most of the stuff on the floor is sold and will be picked up in 2 Weeks.

It's like a ghost town now.....

....except for Mrs Bamboo's Desk...pic below, which would sell for 2600 new, and is now at 1000 used.

still avail...

Now off to the Mahalos!!

Mrs. Bamboo! Crazy Al! Tiki Bong! Hawk a Luggie! CULT of the EYE!! Mike, Roxy and Biff!! Amy!!! The guy with the dreads ( agent orange), EARNIE aka GROG!!!! Krustiki and Oooookooo, and anyones else I forgot, like Spermy who needed to eat!!!!!

A good excuse to have a party. Maybe a Mele Kilikimaka gig!!
