:drink:

Whose up for drinks afterwards?

Count the Mrs. and I in for drinks.

Tiki Bird & I are up for it. Where to go for drinks?

The Starlight Room is on 4th Street. Also on 4th Street are many a fine bars for whatever your into. If you are an old punk at heart you can visit Fern's, if you like all that emo stuff The Red Room is your place, and for the greasers there is The V Room. FInding a place to get sauced on 4th street is never an issue.

Here's a Plan:
Let's meet at Starlite Room between 5:00 and 8:00 pm.
That way, Those who want a bar.... can go through the process.

Then we can head over to a local bar...
Java Lanes, Sams, or whatever...

Inquiring minds want to know how the bar looked in person... :wink:

pictures coming soon....

Cool, it's great to be able to see photos when you can't get to the gig. Thanks Pug. Make sure you include the pictures of our newest pal, Lars. He's the one with the camera strapped to his head.... kinda looks like a mining helmet light...can't miss him.
Hope everyone had a great time. OASIS!!....protect your beachball at all times.
ALOHA!

Another cool event...
Jason and Catherine (Starlite Room) did a great job at planning.

The lines moved quickly (15 minutes), the bars are sweeeetttt, the music was good, and the pink punch was strong... what more could you ask for.

Oh yeah!! It was nice to hang with old friends...

Great evening, good to see Mr & Mrs. Pug, MTkahuna, Trent, Trader Pup & Robert. We also had a great time at Sam's Seafood afterwards.

How could you NOT have a good time at Sam's Seafood?? Thanks for the pics. Cool bar!! Looks like you all had a great time.

There's already someone on e-bay trying to get $650 for this. Imagine that. Well, they did go through all the trouble of going down there, and then standing in line to purchase it. That's got to be worth something, right?

I think I'll try to make my own out of the cheapest medicine cabinet I can find at Home Depot. A little modification, a little paint, a frame, and it should look pretty snazzy. It'll actually mount into the wall, too, so the front will be flush with the wall. What a great idea, a hideaway bar. I wish I would of thought of it.

TPug,
You and Stacy are da shit! Great photos...
TBird & UDream... Let me know when the tiki beer is ready.

The bar looks pretty cool! Althought I'd like it better if they would have made the generic white box part a little more decorative...or made it so the bar could be recessed into the wall. Also, is the artwork just silk screened on the front or is it somehow waterproofed or behind glass? I can imagine if you're really using this as a mixing table, there are going to be spills. And that's one expensive spill if it drips all over an unprotected print. Glad to hear that someone hosting a Shag event was finally organized. Looks like all had a good time.

Rich,
How and the heck are you? The bars are covered in glass and the prints are securely encased in the top frame. I can't see using it as a bar... just a cool gimmicky addition to the collection.

Tell Marianne hola from me.
When are you two gonna be in the neighborhood?

Tikipug,
Great shots thanks for posting.
Mahalo,
Al
