Coco Loco,

That was probably one of the most eloquent replies to a thread I have read since I have been here.

I wish I could have met you while I was there. It seems I missed a few TC'ers?

I felt honored just to be able to attend the sale and view what is no doubt one of the greatest assemblage of TV tiki history not only from this sale, but the first one as well. I cannot express my appreciation enough to Kier and Michelle and to Trader Vic's for opening this to the members of Tiki Central. There were so many other avenues they could have taken to sell their items and could have probably made more money in doing so. I really hope they don't allow the bad judgment of others to cloud their future relations with those here who really support them and their efforts.

Due to economics I was not able to make any large dollar purchases this time but was extremely satisfied with what I bought. I was definitely hoping there would be another opportunity in the future and I will keep my fingers crossed for more down the road. It was truly iconic to be there for the first two and I will be there again if Kier and Michelle are willing to give it another go.

Kier and Michelle, mucho props and thank you again for your efforts and your willingness to share information. Even I blew it with the Brimfield-Britewell tiki identification and was glad to have the correct information given; even learned where my little wood carved Suffering Bastard came from. You both went above and beyond even after the sales were complete.

TVWarehousegirls, please remember the 80/20 rule. I think it applies here.

Hope to see you again in the future,

Psycho Tiki D (I know I am and I am in the 80%)!
