Don't know if this was discussed, but anyone thought about a tiki central mug exchange? The purpose would basically be to allow folks from other parts of the country or globe, access to tiki mugs that they might not be able to get otherwise. For example, three dots and a dash has their first new mug release party next week and the mug will only be available at the bar. Some folks on the west coast would like to get one and there are folks here in the midwest and east coast that would like to get a mug from a place out west that they might not be able to get to anytime soon. It's basically a way for tikiphiles to access mugs in exchange for sending the person who gets them a mug one that they would want. It's not a trade situation. People would be expected to pay for the mug and shipping cost as some mugs vary in price and shipping varies depending on location. Many times there have been mug release parties for new bars out west and though there's no way to jump on a plane and head out there at a moments notice (did that all the time in the 90's, those days are over), I would still have liked to score a mug. So if this hasn't been discussed before, maybe we can use this thread for folks to list what mugs they would like (i.e. three dots and a dash mug) and maybe someone that lives in that area and goes to the event can hook them up and vice versa. I realize some places have limits on the amount of mugs you can buy at one time, but some don't. - and it doesn't have to be limited to mugs, could be anyb promo items like shirts, necklaces, eta. The point being, access to cool stuff you might not otherwise be able to get until you overpay on ebay for it.
