I expressed interest in their neon hula dancer and suggested they donate the sign to the Museum of Neon Art in Los Angeles, but they have had other offers and the museum's tax deduction does not amuse them. Apparently they received a big price quote from some guy who's building an addition to his house and would like to put the animated hula girl in his rumpus room -- I'm not kidding. Sometime in September they will be having an auction, but must wait to find out what the new owners wish to keep and what they don't. All the stuff that they don't want will then be sold off. FYI.
