No idea. Once we know when our ship will come in, we will certainly announce any such celebratin' right here in this thread.

Finally, I am thrilled to announce! :

We decided to keep it simple glaze-wise, not mess around, and go with a classic brown glaze. This puts the emphasis on the iconic SCULPTURE, which came out great. I am very happy with the end result, thank you Moritz, thank you Holden! This puppy looks like it walked straight off the book cover!

The special twist with this mug is its specially designed ritual potion concocted by Beachbum Berry. Those who know me know that I am in love with CONCEPTS. Ever since half a century ago (it seems) when Ted Haigh mixed a Monkey Gland cocktail for me, I was smitten by the idea of an aphrodisiac-containing cocktail. What a great opportunity for stupid jokes, I thought! :)

The fact that the BOT jump-started the Tiki Revival, mixed with the fact that (as everybody knows) a Tiki figure is a phallus symbol, seemed to make this mug the perfect container for such a witches brew. So I turned to the grand master of Tiki mixology, Mr.Bum himself, and humbly requested of him to conjure up something that contained such an essence. He furtively mumbled something under his breath, and then shuffled into seclusion in his lab:

Days turned into weeks, while horrible Jekyll & Hyde sounds emanated from behind the lab's heavy timbered door. Finally, he emerged, with wild eyes and an insane grin, shouting: BEHOLD the TIKI REVIVER!

I will not reveal the formula nor the secret ingredient yet, but each mug will have a recipe card in it - and the potion will be served at the Bahooka event. Here is the BACK of the card:

Looks great Sven,
can't wait to see it in person,
and get one. Like I need another mug.
:roll:
but this is a MUST HAVE!
