The Patio

Comedy tonight! Come see Bobbie Oliver, Sally Mullins, Derick Jackson (3 of the funniest people in L.A.) and more tonight!

Ice House Annex
24 N. Mentor Ave.
Pasadena, CA 91106
Showtime: 8pm
Admission: $8 + 2 drink min.

I'll be the guy in the back with the video camera, trying to not make the footage look so orange this time.

We assembled our Target-bought tiki bar Saturday, so here's some shots of our "backyard" (moving here from Georgia, it was hard to think of it as more than an alley, but I think we've made a nice, comfy spot back there).


Turn the corner, and the patio space is where the bar is. Now Bobbie is insistent that we need new furniture to go with the bar.


A closeup of the driftwood carving hanging behind the bar, purchased at a flea market in Georgia.
And a few nighttime shots to get an idea of the mood.



Not really going for an "authentic" tiki ideal. My main inspiration is the climactic scene from Y Tu Mama Tambien. I want that comfy, Mexican fishing village atmosphere.


Some music to set the mood for the patio: Get the Number One de Dakar song here. Absolutely fantastic. And follow it up with a couple Cut Chemist tracks.


Elsewhere: check out the first episode of Space Squad 21!

Arts and Crafts projects for this summer!
