Well I tried to post on this thread last night, but was having trouble finding words to express my sense of wonder so I just spent ages looking at the screen with my jaw agape. Having just looked at everything again (several times) I'm still struggling. Everyone seems to have gone creature-crazy round here lately, which is a good thing - I like monsters with my tiki. I dig the little self-referential touches with the grog mug and the drink mats too. I see two great new potential mug designs there , along with the weathered tapa wall behind the shrunken head, which would make a cool shirt. The masks and puffer look like sweet old-school velvet paintings.
So, we've had the mugs, the prints, and the guitars...when is someone gonna bankroll the full blown Swamp Fire Lounge? That would have been a better bet for Vegas than the watered-down Trader Vic's they opened...
