Well, I lived in SF a couple years ago, but I couldn't possibly make it for the 26th. :)

1. Combined collection w/ the boyfriend=Medium Tiki Mug Collector (50+)

2. I don't leave books on the coffe table. The Book of Tiki and Pad are reference books or source material for design projects and stay part of the home library. But if I buy oversized art books with large bright photographs=On occasion (if it is a subject that I like)

3. Years of Inky Louise minus one decade plus one day = Manic Cat years

4. Graphic design assistant in a big museum is my front for compulsive web-surfing

5.In the best place to be for me, Lower East Side, NYC

6. No Tiki 'scene' in NYC--just swank places to drink at. Other scenes? I think there's a cliche of Bipolar-Ukrainian-Comic Book Artists? Nope, I 'm one-of-a kind.

7. I read up alot on the web. I'm gonna take a risk - moderate (been collecting for awhile, know some of the different manufactures and styles).

8. ART--aesthetic, designs, patterns, colors, materials, abstraction, representations, mixology, cuisine, music, aloha spirit
   ARTIFACT--history, relics, antiques, sites, pilgrimidges
   ARTIFICE--escapism, aliases, recreation, reinterpretation, reconstruction,
   romanticism
