Never meant to stir the ol' you know what pot, but just had to express my opinion. Now that the dust has sort of settled time to have a cold one, whatever you're into :) Thanks for the kudos on the mug. It's one of my favorites as my wife used to go there all the time when she was a kid. I've had that wonderful book of yours for many years and am very familiar with it. I can tell a lot went into putting it together having co-authored a book myself with a few other authors (on New England Brewery Advertising, it's always on ebay, though we've never really seen much of a dime back from it through sales :)). I also just recently put a lot into another book for another author on the Narragansett Brewing Company here in Rhode Island. It is just coming out I think this month. Like your passion for Tiki, we've been collecting RI brewery advertising for over thirty years. Sometimes I worry that all of my hobbies are alcohol related (?). I'm sure there's some psychological meaning for all of that. Besides Tiki mugs, my wife and I also collect Red Sox material before 1920 and junk reminiscent of my childhood of the sixties. I truly respect your love and admiration for things of the past and also lament when artifacts, establishments or other things of significance are lost to the ages. So much has been lost in this area to the dreaded strip mall. New England has far and few Roadside and Tiki Establishments left. Anyhoo, thanks for all of the correspondence. Most appreciated on this end. Sorry to ruffle so many feathers. Just hit a nerve when beer, sports and sports bars were taking a beating. Hope you understand. I've got a lot of good memories and friends of all of these things. Life's too short not to enjoy what's out there. So funny you brought up the link to the Germans and Bavarian drinking. I literally had a patient in yesterday from Germany and we always have a great time talking about Oktoberfest. He had mentioned he had just bought a new pair of liederhosen (I'm almost positive I spelled that wrong) as well as the rest of his traditional wardrove as he recently gave his son his old clothes. Rum based coctails, beer, whatever floats your boat I say. All the best from RI

BigBro,
