So a funny thing happened today. I’d been daydreaming about building a mobile Tiki bar from a pop top trailer camper thing or what ever right minded people call them. I was at a friends house for lunch talking about it, explaining the problems of a soaring peaked roof that would fold down, tarp up and be roadworthy, (we are both landscape architects, well he is I’m close, anyway we are both well trained designers). Anyway we decided to call a friend , Scruffy, and ask about his trailer, and low and behold he said he was buying a new one and I could have the old one if I wanted it. So… now I have a solid base. The inside is trashed but the “works” are in fine shape. I’ll start the designs this week and expect to get the trailer in the next few weeks. I really hope that this project works out as I would love to have a Tiki bar that I could bring all over So Cal and share with the TC faithful, “beach party anyone”, “J Tree lost weekends”, whatever. In any event I’ll most likely be sniffing around about stuff to outfit it with as I want to go way over the top with this. My target is to accommodate 20 people plus a bartender, within the bounds of the unfolded origami bar and lanai, (the thing slides apart like a puzzle box). Wish me luck as I’m gonna need it. It’s a big project and I’m still not certain I can pull it off, but hey, may as well dream big, so keep your chisels sharp, and the bamboo and such flowing, I’ll start breakin open my piggy banks and keep my fingers crossed. Any ideas on where to use the thing, it departs from Fullerton CA.
