This was a really cool event!

Cammo, you did a great job of organizing and making sure it was entertaining for everyone. Thanks!

Holden really went way beyond what anyone expected and delivered a very informative mug discussion. We are now all a little hipper to the fine art of mug making. He is also a lot braver than I would have been for bringing some of the crown jewels of his collection with him (and letting everyone handle them). He probably brought over 100 rare mugs. These were not your common everyday TF mugs. No, these were highly collectible and sold out one-offs, odd color variations, and special event mugs. I thought I'd seen every TF style ever produced until I saw that spread last night, WOW! Plus, he gave us a rare preview of many, many new designs that are in the design or production pipeline. Lets just say that these new designs are going to be very popular and the styles are stepped up from anything they've done in the past. I'm going to start to save my money now for these beauties. Thanks Holden!

The Bamboo Source is also a great new store in Oceanside with lots of great tiki vibe. I'll be heading back up there when there's more time to casually check everything out. Thanks to the proprietors for hosting this event!

Cheers!
