overall, i was a bit stunned and dazed at the plethora of great, vintage pieces upon my arrival. i have to admit it was funny to see everyone else so dazed and bumping into each other as the tiki-high was intoxicating! thanks to tiki-Ray who helped convince me that i needed to add this incredible tiki to my collection. i was too crazed to be rational with the sheer amount of neat stuff and good ol' Ray set me straight. i did go a bit crazy and was spending way too much, but i truly believe this was a once-in-a-lifetime event. *

Stunned and dazed pretty much sums it up. It was, and still is, a numbing experience for any Trader Vic's fan boy or girl. It was a brief peek inside the chocolate factory, and I'm just glad I made it out (4 times) without being turned into a giant blueberry. This was a week for the ages, tiki wise.

Congrats on acquiring that one tiki1963, it was one of the stars of the sale (and you got quite a few of the others as well!). That tiki will always be the "Ginger Rogers tiki" to me. I was pleased to be of some assistance...heck, it helped distract your attention from the one I had claimed. No, you still cannot have it.

If anyone has any desire to visit the warehouse, by all means do. I was there this afternoon and there is still a great deal to see and purchase. Hi Kier, Hi Michelie....see you tomorrow (just kidding).
