We should have both designs up on our Facebook page around the middle of next week - if you ever poke around over there. We're really happy with how they're looking.

We just posted the first of the 2 new designs on our Facebook page - Thunderbird Lanes. A 1960s googie-style bowling alley once located in Ontario, CA.

I just got a chance to head over and check it out. It's awesome!

If you are at the Shag lunch on Saturday (at TRIO) keep a lookout for some cool Shag tiki mugs from the pink panther movie on Sale. Shag will be in the building to sign the special menu's and mug's if you would like. please remember the lunch is $35 and is selling out quickly. The mug's are by Tiki Farm and we will have a limited number on hand for sale.

These mugs are boxed,and they are designed by Shag and would be great for signing.

come see me it the bar to buy one. We only have enough for about 50 people so get one soon as you get in the door if possible.

See ya in the Springs my Tiki Freaks!!!!!!!!! DIG?

Now beat it!!!!!! Like Frankie

aloha TC friends.
we are headed out to palm springs this weekend and then back to play on the 19th.
A MUST SEE!!!!!!!!!!!FEB.19TH 5PM TILL 8PM performance by the MARTINI KINGS at THE ELROD HOUSE(james bond house) in PALM SPRINGS. Modernism Week will include three PSPF events: a free lecture on Palm Springs’ modernist architecture, a tour of Frank Sinatra’s Twin Palms Estate and our wildly popular Retro Martini Party. This year’s Retro Martini Party will be held at John Lautner’s famous Arthur Elrod House (1968), described by one commentator as the “world’s greatest living room.” The Elrod House became part of our popular culture when it starred in the 1971 James Bond movie “Diamonds Are Forever.”

Tomorrow............WooHooooo! :)

Have fun boys and girls. Make sure to post up some pictures for those of us lost souls who can't make it.

It's only 10:30 and I'm already working out what I'm going to wear tonight. In a perfect world, I would have a great blue sharkskin suit, but I'm poor. lol so I'm making do with thrift store shirts and such. I can't wait to see you all there tonight! Look for me, I'll probably be the youngest guy in the room (22) look for a guy in a gray sharkskin suit with a shirt with squares on it. If i don't have my gray fedora on, I'll just be rockin my fo-hawk. Stop and say hello, I can't wait to finally meet some people from TC :)
