I mean Super Important Updates, here's a sample of yesterday's brain dump: Aloha Happy Little Campers!!! Spring has finally sprung up here in the Northeast, and its time to start working on tanning up these pale chicken-flesh legs I’ve got in anticipation of an Ohana weekend of fun in the sun. But while I work on that, let me tell you about the latest from the Lake! Some of you may have seen the leaked picture of this year’s mug. I’ll take that up with the guy who runs the facebook page later (Yes, I know I leaked it HERE, and no I don’t run the FB. I can barely untag myself from all the horrible pics of me on FB, let alone run an event site there). But the subject of today’s ramble is just that. The Ohana Event Mug. Once again, our pal Squid* has done an outstanding job with this year's Ohana tiki mug. Ok, that's probably an understatement. Have you seen this thing?? I know the pics are fantastic (no, not my crappy cel phone pics, but the PROFESSIONAL pics like the one below), but wait till you see him live and in color! We call this little guy Woodrow (Woody for short), and he'll look great in your collection along side George and I'Ke (and all those other mugs you have!). He's about 6.5" tall, 3.5" wide at the top, and holds a boat-load of your favorite beverage. He's sporting colors from our "exoitc" line, in an amazing matte wood-tone finish with a deep chocolate high-gloss glaze interior, and looks good on the beach, in the bar, or on the go. Looking for the perfect accessory for the fashion-conscious jet setter to the fashion-oblivious beach bum? Look no further than Woody! As usual, there are only 100 of them in existence, and he's ONLY available to Ohana attendees, so if you're coming to Ohana, and want to make sure that you get one, we'll be doing a pre-sale THIS week on Wednesday, May 4th, 12:00 noon EST. This pre-order is for OHANA ATTENDEES ONLY who will be picking little Woody up at the event and bringing him back to a loving home. He's a mere $40, and profits from his sale will go toward the 2011 Easter Island Foundation donation. When you order, you’ll have to include the email you supplied when you purchased your Ohana passes with so we can make sure you get him right when you check in. You can go check out the sale site (and additional pics) and bookmark it for Wednesday right now if you want: http://fraternalorderofmoai.org/Ohana/ohana_mug.php Any mugs that are not pre-ordered will be available for sale at the Merchandise Booth at Ohana on a first come, first served basis… but rather than have to wait in line or miss out completely and kick yourself when you're paying $100 for him on Ebay, why not just pre-order? As usual, there’s plenty more info to come, and I’ll continue to do my best to keep these emails short… or at the very least, somewhat informative. Tickets still on sale! http://www.LuauAtTheLake.com Mahalo, and we’ll see ya at the Lake!!!! -Bargoyle- Visit Squid’s site and check out all the awesomeness he crams into absolutely EVERYTHING he does (He’s a modern day Willie Wonka!) at http://www.squidart.com Professional Photos provided by Kate Broderick Photography who usually just takes pics of looney bins (it kinda fits though, doesn’t it?)
