B bigbrotiki Tiki Socialite Tiki Island, above the Silverlake Joined: Mar 25, 2002 Posts: 11621	B bigbrotiki Posted posted on Sun, Nov 16, 2003 1:20 AM This week is killing me, being stuck in Berlin...The Taschen Store opening, Miles at the Tiki Ti, Tiki Farm at La Luz...Arrrgh! I feel like not the lost son, but the lost father. Only relief here is that I was introduced to the RUM TRADER, a tiny corner bar founded by an ex-Trader Vic mixologist in the 70s, and run by his dedicated follower whose cocktail artistry is up there with the greats. And it's in walking distance. Other highlights were that Andrew Burns, organizer of the Barcelona Tiki bar parties, was in town as Bowie's guitar roadie and got me in to see the 3 hour long gig. Gave him a copy of the BOT to pass along to THE MAN. The worldwide Tiki net at work! And also, I will hold a little slide show at the Bassy Cowboy Club on the 29th.

Miles and I were talking about this yesterday, so what I'm going to do is this, for peeps that wanna know. wood carved frame unique to only you in the style of the original. carve up a master frame, also in the style of the O.G. and make resin copies. The resin will look like wood and of course be less inexpensive. I figure out prices for both and start a new thread in the collecting forum if the demand is there. Gracias

By the way, I picked up my solid mahogany bar top from Soboba yesterday. Now I have to build the box that it is going to rest on. The Ocean Room is coming along.

K kooche Member Los Angeles CA Joined: Apr 19, 2003 Posts: 577	K kooche Posted posted on Wed, Nov 26, 2003 12:32 PM hey kids yesterday was a great day indeed...my little girl turned one...HAPPY BIRTHDAY AVA! i am getting paypal set up and arranging shipping materials ....so until next week i'll have to let you all sit on it...i can still only ballpark around the whole shipping issue though i can't fathom it being more than $10-12 bucks for domestic speedy delivery...they're all going out UPS packed flat...international delivery will be addressed on a case specific basis...tax issues will certainly be an issue to consider i do imagine that Tapa will be a little more costly to ship than the Tiki Ti as it is considerably larger... to save time in the email rounds (if you happen upon this post while waiting for your print) you can drop an email to me with your mailing address and email address...this way i can get to the shipping with as little hunting for email adresses as possible... [email protected] i wish all tiki centralites a great big turkey or two ... bring on the pies! see you at the Tiki Ti when they open again!

If you got the cash, grab them both. I sit and stare at Tapa everynight and discover new stuff, I am lucky enough to have the original over my bed!
