Just came back from "It's All About the Tiki" and I must say I'm very disappointed and pissed off! First of all, I was approximately the 10th person in line. When they did let us in (30 minutes late) to purchase the mugs, we had to wait in another line. By the time it was my turn to order, I had been in line about two hours. So they took my order, gave me a sales slip, then told me I had to go to another line to pay. Then after I paid, I had to go back to the first line I was in to pick up the mugs I paid for, it was a real cluster f*ck. Then they tell me they don't even have any of the Shag mugs (that I just paid for) and that they will be shipped to me within 4 weeks! You have got to be kidding me!!! Then to top it off, when I got home, they charged me for five mugs an extra $30 (I only ordered four) and when I called the gallery they told me to come back (I live 50+ miles away) or call back tomorrow. Then as if it couldn't get any worse, when I opened my box that contained the bugeyed mug by Von Franco, where they eyes were hand painted, the paint was all smeared like they wrapped up the mug before the paint had dried. I thought this was going to be a party atmosphere and it wasn't, it was just a bunch of people waiting in line to buy mugs that were not even there! I left at almost 10pm and the Dynotones had not even played one song! Who organized this thing? Whoever it was, they need to be fired!
