The affordably priced works are filled with vintage 3D title letters and little toys and trinkets. You can get a sneak preview of some of the work at http://www.megorama.com/POPSHOP.htm Oh and by the way – one of the paintings is named and dedicated to one of Tiki Central’s own… Mr. Smiley!!! It’s at a bubble tea lounge called the Boba Bar. And there will be Fortune Cookies and live Casiotone music! Boba Bar is located at 12044 1/2 West Ventura Blvd., just east of Laurel Canyon (across the parking lot from Dupar's in the Studio City Center) in Studio City -763-4790 The show runs from Friday, January 31 to March 2. They’re open every day from 11 AM - 11 PM and Sat. and Sun 11 AM – Midnight Thanks for Listening :) [ Edited by: Futura Girl on 2003-01-31 01:31 ] [ Edited by: Futura Girl on 2003-04-30 03:12 ]

These paintings are simple abstracts like this with the focus on the toys or trinkets and a way complex deep 'artsy' meaning :) That's a genuine 1970's Smiley Face bought in a Wisconsin Dells gift shop on a cross-country family road trip in what I believe was the summer of 1971. I have a vivid memory of the tourist trap store with a huge sea of smiley pins and rings! [ Edited by: Futura Girl on 2003-01-23 21:22 ]

Try one - you might like it! But maybe those who are yearning for other refreshments could head over to the divey, yet delightful Tonga Hut afterwards? It's at 12808 Victory Blvd North Hollywood, CA (818) 769-0708 (a few miles north of Boba Bar and just east of Coldwater Canyon)

You never know these days - we're losing the nearby Leon's Steakhouse soon. Anyway - it's a plan - after the art opening is over - Tiki Centralites and friends - we'll make the trek a few miles north to visit the 8 foot Moai Head by the front door and enjoy some libations. They usually play rock music - but maybe we can coax them to play a Denny tape or CD?
