Like the rest of us, I bet it happened right under your nose. You just kind of turn around one day and wonder what happened! My moment of realization came right after the Trader Vic's warehouse sale, when I posted this segment entitled "When Tikis Take Over Your House.": Last stop, Casa de Mai Tai, where we unloaded 3 tikis. The last one was so heavy, that it required all three of us to move it. This last group of photos I like to call "When Tikis Take Over Your House." Tikis in my dining room. Ray owns the two on the left, mine is the extremeley heavy one on the right. Trader Vic's warehouse schwag scattered in my living room. I can spot a Trader Vic's bar stool, and on the coffee table I see a fogcutter mug, port and starboard mugs, coconut mugs still in their boxes, various restaurant ware, and some Mama Gruber swizzles and Christmas Menehunes, to name a few things. And a very tired TikiTastic. Three more bar stools from San Francisco, one small and two large fish floats, giant clam shells, and a bag of ceramics, including a helmet shell mug, and menehune compote, and a pig mug. Oh, and Ray's NY tiki in the background, with his two other tikis as well, under safe lock and key here at Casa de Mai Tai, until he is ready to pick them up. Until then, they are mine. Mine, mine mine! (Just kidding, Ray. He knows where I live, and I understand he is fairly handy with a flaming rum molotov cocktail!). I'm going to have to agree with PTD and Tikihula, your place is going to have to be examined up close in person! Is there going to be another Sacramento Home Bar Crawl? :D
