I had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed seeing my tiki peeps as well as mixing it up with the greaser crowd. Lots of cool cars and more pompadors than you could shake a stick at. Thanks Again

TB Tiki Brad Member Joined: Mar 26, 2004 Posts: 30	TB Tiki Brad Posted posted on Mon, Jul 12, 2004 8:55 AM Great pictures Al. I'm surprised that one I took of you and Von Franco even came out. It's tough to look through a camera's view finder with any certainty after a couple Head Shrinkers and a Zombie. Yeah the place was packed beyond all expectations. We actually got lucky with a parking space right down the street. We saw some people trekking from several blocks down! My reservations were at 8:00, and we finally got seated at 9:30. No worries, though. We met a lot of great people, and had a wonderful time. My personal highlight of the evening was watching King Kukulele throw his uke at unsuspecting passersby in the parking lot. He never did get anyone to drop their drinks. Gut busting fun! Kudos to Eric, the artists, and the Bahooka for such a swell event. Hope everyone else had as much fun as we did.

That picture rocks! So glad Tiki Brad got it. Great picture Brad for your state of being at the time! [ Edited by: Tiki-Toa on 2004-07-12 10:23 ]
V vwtikigirl Member austin Joined: Jan 01, 2004 Posts: 218	V vwtikigirl Posted posted on Mon, Jul 12, 2004 10:37 AM To Our California Ohana, We can't say enough about the fun time we had this weekend. It was so great to meet so many of you and be able to put names with faces. Each person we met introduced us to at least 2 or 3 others. It was really incredible. Can't remember a time where we have been so welcomed, we'll definitely be making the trip out to Cali more often. The Bahooka was awesome. We ended up visiting 3 times in the 2 days we were there and they took great care of us. They reserved the perfect table for us, where quite a few us of TC-ers gathered throughout the night. The drinks and food are exceptional. We highly recommend visting this tiki treasure. Erich, Von Franco, and the others sponsoring the show were great. We came home with so many cool things. The only problem is we need to figure out where to put it all. Thank you everyone for a wonderful time. Each person we met made it well worth the long drive and the LA traffic. vwtikigirl and SeekingTiki [ Edited by: vwtikigirl on 2004-07-12 10:43 ]

The style of each bar was to kool for words. He is one heck of an artist and craftsman. He deserves props for those kick ass bars.

H Humuhumu Member San Francisco Joined: Aug 22, 2002 Posts: 3691	H Humuhumu Posted posted on Thu, Jul 22, 2004 10:51 PM Here are my incredibly bad photos from that night. Almost all of these were taken in the parking lot. Our host for the evening, Erich (who was definitely wearing the swankest shirt) The man of the hour, Von Franco, with Futura Girl Von Franco & me chikitiki/Tiki Diablo Naomi from 8-ball Lizzie (C'Al's better half) & Stephanie (Tiki Diablo's better half) I loved this woman's hair Wersmo Derinc & smogbreather Von Franco, Futura Girl & smogbreather King Kukulele & me It looks like I'm biting King's neck, but I think I'd remember that. I hope I'd remember that. Anyway, it looks like I have been biting. I have not been biting. Dolphin Tiki & Doctor Z Mrs. Bamboo Ben & me Doctor Z & vwtikigirl The lovely vwtikigirl & SeekingTiki vwtikigirl & SeekingTiki--he can't be very effective seeking with his eyes closed like that TikiBird & UtopianDreem Brad & me So there you go! Unfortunately, my camera didn't come out until late in the evening, so I missed getting photos of most of the people who were there. It's probably just as well, it was really too crowded to be taking pictures. It was a wonderful, wonderful time. Mahalo again!

MM Mister Monster Member Kreepsville, U.S.A Joined: Jul 31, 2004 Posts: 1	MM Mister Monster Posted posted on Sat, Jul 31, 2004 1:40 PM Hi, I currently run an international publication called 1313 Magazine "The Phantom Monster Show" that's dediacted to horror, tiki and kustom kulture. Regardless, Holded at Tiki Farm just did a review of Von Franco's Bahooka Night for our upcoming 3rd issue. I was wondering if any of you might be interested in giving us a few of your photo's from the event? I would get them from Franco himself but he's currently out of town. If your interested please send me a 200 dpi photo. I'll give you credit and a free copy. We just started by a Tiki section in the issue which includes an article by Tiki Farm and special interview with Franco. Thank you, Mister Monster
