I love your diver helmet!
Did you see the videos on post 11?
I’d love to do something like this and have the lightning light up the whole patio along with adding music, rain, and thunder.
Is this something you can do a how to for?
Here’s an led lantern I found in a free pile yesterday.
I blocked out all of the leds except under a jade skull that I picked up a few years ago.

Or a lit creature hologram. I would light it up green.

I have sunrises, sunsets, and thunderstorms. But currently they're just in my den.

LOL, I was thinking the same thing!
That place is amazing! I wonder if it’s zoned to operate as a bar. No parking but what a place to hang out. The garage is outstanding too!! Compared to DC prices, this is a steal

Just got it going a month or so ago, but some people have posted some absolutely amazing things that they've done in their homes.
My username is a nod to Doug Horne’s “Swampfire Lounge”, which is also what I call my basement arcade.

For Christmas, my husband surprised me with the Mug of Mugs from TikiLand Trading, as well as a membership to their "mug society" and a couple other amazing mugs that have not yet shipped. This mug puts most of my others to shame – it's big and beautiful. I'm gonna need more shelves!

So #1 thanks for bumping this topic. I recently picked up a Ripleys and wanted to pick up some tiki mugs for the wife and I for our pinball nights and this thread has some good spots for finding some nice ones.
#2 I was looking at having some pinball peeps over to have an ingratiation party for Ripleys and was looking for some tiki mugs to give people to take home. How can I buy those mugs?

Where can i buy one??
So as of right now I only have the prototype in my possession. In real life the mug is more of a darker green but still looks super awesome. We have 1,000 of these in production and I’ll be happy to update you all when we actually have them. Retail I believe is going to be 30ish dollars. I’ll have to redo the math but should be somewhere in that range. Happy to ship! Glad you guys like em!
My very meager Tiki Collection of stuff bought and pilfered from Trader Vic’s in Atlanta and fong’s pizza in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
May visit the London location of “pina coloda / hair perfect” fame when I’m there next month.

Yep, I will be in too - looks great!
Anyone into Tiki music? As a rabid instrumental surf music collector, a niche' music sub-category is Tiki & Exotica.
Here's one of my faves... The Tikiyaki Orchestra
I have this beautiful condition 1953 United Bingo Pinball machine and thought it might fit in nicely with someone’s Tiki room.
PM me if interested for details.
