While out tiki-hunting today my wife spotted this most bizarre incarnation of the Johnny Sens "Frankenstein" mug.

Then, later in the day, while wandering through a area flea market I noticed a guy about to purchase a "Voodoo Village" (old KC restaurant) plate. "RATS" (not really what I said to myself, but you get the gist). I asked if he knew anything about the place and to my surprise, he did; not only Voodoo Village but many other lost KC tiki establishments. I thought I knew ALL the tiki-philes in KC so I asked if he was ever on Tiki Central. Yes, he said. Me too, I said. We introduced ourselves with our TC names and to both our surprises we recognized each other! I had been skunked out of a Voodoo Village plate by none other than SQUID in town visiting the old 'hood for the first time in seven years! I went from feeling VERY unlucky to feeling VERY lucky in under 2 seconds! Squid, hope you enjoy your stay in the old hometown. It was great to meet you!

It was awesome to meet you and the Mrs. as well. What are the odds of finding a Voodoo Village plate AND meeting you guys at the same time? That was so incredibly amazing!! Bai and I were just dumbfounded at the whole incident. I'll be posting pics of the plate as soon as the camera recharges from the trip. :)
