Man, I loved this guy when I was a kid visiting the museum. Last December we headed to Bishop Museum with some visiting relatives (my first trip to the museum in perhaps 10 years) and I took a tiki magazine and a mug with me to get a shot for the "where is your tiki magazine" feature (you know, the shots of folks reading the magazine all over the world). Anyways - I marched to the spot where my Moai friend used to live and found only bare grass. Saddened, I spent the next three hours shepherding my two miserable nephews thru the museum. Only when we drove out did I see the Moai in its new (much less dignified) resting place in the parking lot. Perhaps I'll get the shot next time I head back to the Museum (which will be when Hawaii Hall opens again).
