BOBBLE TIKI: TONIGHT AT SANFORD AND SON >>>

Bobble Tiki’s high school prom isn’t exactly an event he holds fond memories of. At 17, Bobble Tiki was the definition of awkward. Bobble Tiki’s face was oily, his clothes were cheesy, and his palms sweat like crazy every time he talked to a member of the opposite sex. While all that has changed with age for Bobble Tiki (except the cheesy clothes part), in high school â€" and especially at the prom â€" Bobble Tiki was a mess. Add all that inner awkwardness to the fact that Bobble Tiki has no actual feet â€" and just sways to-and-fro on a spring like contraption, making it awfully hard to slow dance â€" and Bobble Tiki’s high school prom made for one forgettable evening.

Tonight, though, the fine folks at Sanford and Son Antiques are giving Bobble Tiki an opportunity to make new memories â€" prom memories, not full of suckiness and self-loathing.

Aided by the soothing sounds of famous Tacoma band Girl Trouble, with help from rockin’ blues band the Toughtimes and DJ Infinity, prom at the Library at Sanford and Son on Saturday is sure to be an event everyone will be talking about for weekends to come. Based on the success of last year’s Sanford and Son prom, at least, it seems Bobble Tiki isn’t the only slouch in Tacoma who’d like to make a few new positive prom memories.

What’s the deal with prom at Sanford and Son, you ask?
