Wow, Doug.

Thanks for taking the time to address the issues brought up on this forum.

I think it can accurately be said, that we all want you to succeed, and I think everyone here is in 100% agreement, that your place is damn straight gorgeous.

I hear you about the theft of objects that aren't locked down. I had a pet lock broken in my bathroom (POUR bar and bistro) and toilet paper stolen. Sheesh, I can't imagine the pain one would feel to have artistic tiki artifacts taken.

On the mug issue, I happen to like what NYC's Otto's Shrunken Head does. On their menu, it reads, "all drinks are served in plastic cups...unless you buy a mug for $6. You can keep the mug or return it for a refund."

One of my employees suggested a "left shoe policy" where a patron, upon ordering a scorpion bowl must leave a shoe which is strung up with a pulley system. Not sure how the health Dept feels about shoe-less patrons though.

Anyway, good luck on getting all the bugs out, and next time I'm in the bay area, I will stop by again.
