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!
