I don't really remember there being much Tiki decor, but I could be wrong as I was probably 8 years old and didn't have an interest in Tiki at the time. But ya, what's the status of Tiki Spa?

Hi Gang,

At the paper show yesterday, one of the dealers (the guy in the ballcap who calls everyone.. 'hey bu---ddy') told me he salvaged a bunch of discarded furniture from the TIKI SPA in Palm Springs, which is remodeling. "Original tiki furniture" is how he described it.

He's planning to bring it to the next Long Beach swap meet (see below) He's supposed to be 'near the entrance'

Good luck.
