WENDY! I'm sorry I missed your birthday, and it looks like you had an absolutely wonderful time. May everyday be that happy. It looks like you are keeping up quite well producing some wonderful pieces. Your Bob's are absolutely fantastic. And really, you're the only reason I got a pair of actual Bobs from the Bal'i Hai in New Orleans a few months ago. I didn't much like Bob for a really long time until I saw yours. Uke Bob V2 turned out great, as did all the PNG-ish Bobs. I can't wait to get another one of your mugs. Unfortunately, getting laid off is really the pits, and I can't wait to be fiscally solvent again. Ah well. Keep on working, and making beautiful things! Everybody loves them. In fact, I was performing at HRHH this past weekend, and Maddy and I took our engagement mugs. I was selling merchandise at my booth, which I share with PopTiki, and he had a few skull mugs out. Well, Maddy and I had ours out, and people kept picking them up, and cooing, and aww'ing, and asking how much they were. One person nearly spilled my drink all over us! Everybody loved them, and I spent quite a bit of time telling them about your mugs. :)

Dan! I'm glad your knee is feeling better. As someone with joint pain like that, I know what a bear it can be. I hope it keeps on, and you keep in the best of health, my friend. I'm thoroughly jealous of your recent finds. That Marq is out of this world! And the pedigree! I hope you snapped a photo of the photo that wasn't for sale. Wow, what a find. And a ton of recent Kava Men. Very cool. I hope to see all of the photographs taken of your collection. Well, and of course, visit it in person one day.

A-loha!

PS - Have a blast at Tiki O! I wish I was there, but alas, it's not in the cards this year.
