Dawn told me which assignments must be completed by the end of the year and i was thinking,"but, its the holidays! how will there be time?!!" (to me) the scope is huge! 80 years of Tiki as American Folk Art ~ but that is actually really a focused view for a museum. its still hard to wrap my head around it all, but Dawn's vision for the PAMOPP is clear and exciting! actually, i hadnt thought of Tiki as american folk art..but that's brilliant! and much more cool than quilts and duck decoys! i dont know how i can help ~ but i'm excited to watch as Dawn's project unfurls... that's a COOL idea, BK.. the drinking and dining experience at a museum.. a far cry from a stale muffin and coffee from a pump pot! bring on the mai tais and flaming ambrosia! i hadn't read this thread in a few days, and wish i could have asked Dawn to bring Grandpop's art box to show and tell.. man, i am so lucky to live in Seattle ~ surrounded by cool friends who understand Tiki.. and maybe the home to the first Tiki Museum.. the whole project makes my head spin (in a good way).. i mean.. i've never thought of myself as someone who'd want to volunteer at a museum.. or maybe.. oh i dunno, thinking for when we get old ~ a place to bequeath our assets to.. anyways.. i'm gonna watch as this thread progresses. elicia

that's a COOL idea, BK.. the drinking and dining experience at a museum.. a far cry from a stale muffin and coffee from a pump pot! bring on the mai tais and flaming ambrosia!
