That's the first I've heard of them running out of mugs... in our experience, they
always seem to have plenty.

They had told a friend of ours probably 6 months to a year ago that they were "almost out"
of the sea urchin mugs and that when they ran out they'd get something different and retire
that design, but we've gone back and picked them up for friends at least three times since then,
so I don't know if they just had more than the bartender knew about, or if they did end up reordering
them.

I think Paul McGee the one behind ordering new mug designs and cool new drink vessels, and he
always seemed pretty jazzed when they'd get in new stuff, so perhaps the new management is ordering
lower quantities or changing up their buying habits. For awhile there, they were getting all kinds of
3 Dots branded Tiki Farm designs (including bigger ticket stuff like the clam shell and sea horse
bowls.)

I can say most everything they use comes from Tiki Farm (with the exception of a select handful of
Cheeky Tiki UK and Dynasty mugs), and all of their 3 Dots branded stock is from the Farm, so perhaps
it'd be worth throwing Holden a line on their FB page?
