#ssfbahtbc

What’s happened to our #tikithursday?! Beginning last month, our weekly ritual has been routinely splintered, forfeited and punted over various work, family and holiday obligations. Things should get back on track early in 2019, but in the meantime here’s a #tbt to the 2014 South SF Bay Area Home Tiki Bar Crawl. #ssfbahtbc https://www.instagram.com/p/Bro1OuZFQSq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1rr9m7wq507lo

Aloha Friday! My lanai, Our Big Luauski, is the third stop tomorrow on this weekend's South SF Bay Area Home Tiki Bar Crawl (our 5th year hosting). Here's this evening's outrigger inspection; each of these three prows are more than 10' off the ground and open the lanai into the backyard. . . . #tiki #lanai #ourbigluauski #ssfbahtbc #tradrdon #nauticaldecor #polynesianpop #hometikibar (at Trad'r Don's Grog Tai Grotto)

One year ago today, my lanai (Our Big Luauski) hosted a stop on the South SF Bay Area Home Tiki Bar Crawl. Here's a shot of our assembled Ohana (including a few dozen IG peeps). My wife, in the lower right corner, would give birth to our baby girl only several hours later (and 8 days early)! . . . #tiki #hometikibar #tikipeeps #ourbigluauski #cultoftiki #ohana #tradrdon #ssfbahtbc #lanai #hawaiianshirt

The intrepid, crafty @kontikitucker who'd created the tiki mugs for our 3 previous, local home tiki bar crawls has been full steam ahead on his best design yet. I was given a bisque peek this past weekend. Unfortunately, an organizational fumble finds no event slated for October when its typically held. Thankfully a recent murmur is afoot that someone may step up and put together a crawl for mid November. It's California, afterall. #ssfbahtbc . . . #tiki #tikimug #tikimugtuesday #tikimuglife #ceramics

Went over to taste his beers and got a peek at @kontikitucker's early sculpt for this year's #ssfbahtbc oversized tiki mug (to be released this October). . . . #tiki #tikimug #tikimugtuesday #ceramics #sculpture

Tiki Mug Tuesday and an ideal time to announce that we've gotten ahold of another trio from @kontikitucker's remaining mug stock (DM to purchase or see link in bio: up later this week at www.garbsafari.com). The set we offered before went fairly quick! Among these are his signature Moai and the official crawl mugs for the 2015 & 2016 #ssfbahtbc (the latter being a bucket; each made with a unique glaze combination). Each are from small, limited editions and are signed/numbered. His playful, primitive style would fit nicely on your collection shelf or in your tiki bar. . . . #tiki #tikimuglife #ceramics #moai #tikimug #kontikitucker #tikimugtuesday

Farewell, Mountain Tiki Grotto. The ongoing Zumba was an interesting. This will be a difficult act for @ceciliakelly and Sean to follow in their new home. . . . #ssfbahtbc #hometikibar #bouldercreek #saturdaynight

Vintage and contemporary bowling shoes worn off the lanes during that soggy October of last year. Only one pair survived to tell the tale! . . . #bowlingshoes #mensfashion #eclectic #ssfbahtbc
