Aloha,
I had the good fortune to visit the Baxdog in his tropical paradise this weekend. . A last second Email from Bax alerted us to a recently added Ape show. We hurried up the 5 to rendezvous with our fellow Tiki Centralites. Baxter and his wife Sarah live in Orange County and their pad is indeed swank. I'll let the pictues speak for themslves.

Stellar Tiki Bar, a very swank decor. The wall covering really makes it, IMO.
Nice to see pics of fellow Tiki Centralites and their happnin' abodes.
Cheers,

I love the mantel. That's a great idea. The cross beam is superb!

Baxdog and Sarah!
Wow! very cool. Just like at Al & Shelly's place, I picked up a few ideas after seeing the pictures. Hope you don't mind.
PS had a great time with both of you on the OC Mini Crawl.

I like the MacIntosh menus over the mantel.
Very colorful throughout. Great bar.

What is the trick to getting these images to work? The link as written is no good. I suspect it has something to do with the first [img] being in black and the last bracket "]" being in black (see original post). I have tried palying around with it with no luck still. What tricks do you all use to make this work?---mr dumb smiley tiki

Thanks, but what you wrote is mostly "greek" to me. I did discover that I can view the photos by going to the original post on the web-site( as opposed to the posts I get in my email). Thanks----bruce
ps- if you two are ever in the SF bay area, i'd love to try to return the hosptitality you showed us all in Palm Springs!!

Thanks to Al and Shelley for making the trek up to our digs and honoring us by posting your great photo array on Tiki Central. We had a great time showing our stuff and had a blast at the Doll Hut. Ape was awesome and C'Al you're the Bomb! What a great show! The guys from Ape were so nice to let the little ones sing-a-long. That was a night to remember for us all. It's great to have such a fun group of tiki-freaks out there - Glad we found you!

Baxdog with family in tow came down to vist the Fabulous Lagoon Room this last weekend. I took the kids for a ride in the 71 Buick convertable. A good time was had by all. Thanks for dropping by Baxter and Sarah, it was good seeing you. I hope you guys can make it down to my place for the pre party before the Tiki Farm gig on the 28th. All Tiki Central is invited. I posted under events. I hope you can all make it.

Great photos! Amazing place!
I particularly like the Tiki hearth, which is terrific idea. It's probably one that we in the colder areas of Europe could actually use ourselves!
Cheers to all involved
