yeah, I heard they're finally starting to subside a bit. I'm really glad about that.

And hey, Marcus Thorn, thanks a bunch man. It's always nice getting props from a guy who's work you really respect. Mahalo brother....

So I'm really stoked guys....!

I did a bid for a beachfront restaurant & bar like a month ago, and I thought they were blowing me off because I called the dude a few times & never heard back, but today I got a return e-mail & they're interested and want me to come down & discuss things further. It'll be my first commercial type of job so I want to make sure that they're really happy. They're going to get some really nice tikis for their money (I bid it pretty high to give myself plenty of room). I want to leave there knowing that they have some of the coolest tikis on their littls stretch of the beach.

I'll be there working on stuff during business hours so I'll have lots of business cards to hand out for sure, as well as some tikis in the truck just in case. This may be a really good opportunity to have some of my tikis out where people will see them & also do a demo that will last at least a week (and hopefully get a little business out of that).

That new truck couldn't have come at a better time. I may have to go and find a motel near where I'm working (it's an hour away) & see if I can work a trade for a few nights stay. I'm really excited about what could be my first big tiki gig! And an "on the road" gig at that! (well, kinda)
