(also the location of the art institution that gave me my BFA in graphic design). We decided to enter a very large antiques store that I have seen many times but never entered for some reason. Only the main floor of three was open late that night so we both started scouting the glass cases and shelves for anything tiki. After coming up short I approached the twenty something guy at the counter... "Do you have any.... tiki mugs... or anything Polynesian?" He looked blank at first... then his eyes got wide... I tingled a bit... "Yes... on the second floor where the china and ceramics are... I've seen some things... but those floors are closed right now, you want to come back during our daytime hours... I've seen some things scattered about this floor too but they get moved often... no one buys the tiki/polynesian items here... they just sit..." Oh boy... I'm stoked! Monday morning I will be their first customer in the door... Hope to have some cool finds to show here on Tuesday... I'll keep you posted... Lake Surfer (on my way to Socialite!)
