I would be willing to pay money just to find anything tiki related - you should count your blessings!! I had two goals when I got into tiki - one was to find a Martin Denny LP at a thrift store (that goal was met one day last July at the local Goodwill) the other is to find a tiki mug ANY tiki mug at a thrift store or a flea market and I haven't even gotten close to that goal!!! Thanks for letting me gripe... Sad and Tiki-less in Maryland, Johntiki :drink:
