Id like to spread this treasure out far and wide if possible so here is my plan. 1, (Swap or Trade) Since I spent a good portion of my Tiki mug acquisition fund on this bamboo I am offering to swap a piece or several, for whatever Tiki mug, swizzle stick or Tiki item a TC’er wishes to offer. You can come by my house and pick out your piece or if you live far away and wish to pay the postage on it then that’s fine to. Send me an E-Mail and we can arrange it. 2, (Free Bamboo) I would be happy to give any TC’er a free piece or two, up to 12ft long if they want to come pick it up in Lodi or pay for the postage. 3, (Free Bamboo on the Go) When ever I travel to a Tiki restaurant/bar or event I will bring some with me. I’ll send out a message on this thread announcing when and where. If you’re in the area just meet me there and it’s yours. 4, (Free Bamboo for Tiki Businesses) If any owner, manager or employee at a Tiki Bar/Restaurant or other Tiki business should want some to display in there establishment just send me an E-Mail and we’ll work out the details. 5, (Other ?) If anyone has any other ideas just send me a PM. There are only 125 pieces and I will be keeping 25 of those pieces for my own collection. Each piece will be cleaned with soap and water unless it has been requested to leave it the way I found it. Each piece will have an identifying inscription on the back with a serial number between 001 and 125. If a long piece is cut into 1 to 2 ft sections it will carry the piece number and the section number on it. I will try to fill the requests in the order I receive them. If you get a piece and want to take a picture of it in your home Tikibar or collection and post it on this tread that would be great. I really don’t know what the demand will be or how this will all turn out but I hope it will be fun and beneficial for the TC ohana and somehow the Mythical Stockton Islander. Happy Hunting!
