MikeyTiki: Why is this mug important to you?

There are a number of reasons, the most obvious one being that it is more than just a mug, Chongolio's design is very cool, making it more like a meeting place for your friends and family as you share a cool concoction, rum based of course, with them. It would make a great addition to the Tiki bar we are trying to put together in our basement, as time permits, and would be a great conversation piece. But more than that, I was thinking about donating my Ohana Hut to RoberTiki to use in his new Tiki bar Thatch in Portland, OR so that it could be used in his "Ohana Hut", I don't know if that is what he is going to call the area, but he is building a hut in the back of the bar for VIPs (TCers, etc.) I am sure he would have gotten one himself for it, but he is currently on a cross country tour, on a Vespa no less, so he wasn't available to post and get a code to get an Ohana Hut of his own. I was thinking that it could be shared with even more people, and I could visit it almost anytime I wanted since Thatch is on my way home from work. (I suspect I will be there quite often.) I can't wait to see how the sunken bar turns out, I think it will be very cool.

If it hadn't been for the TC Ohana I wouldn't have know about Thatch, at least not yet, and wouldn't have met Robert.

If you disqualify me, can I ask that you count my post as a proxy post for RoberTiki like Stuckie had suggested in his heads up announcement? (I would still like to pay for it for him.) (You can see that I was thinking about him and how he wouldn't be able to get an Ohana Hut on the 'line' day in my post here.)
