Remember - we tried to hook up with you when we were in Chi town... Anyway - I think Rose softened up to us when we told her we were friends of Sven's and spent literally hours in her shop. We also bought a bunch of other smaller things, too. Some cool plastic flower pins and leis from the '60s and a paper Hawaiian boy from 1968 in his original packaging, etc. She kept telling us not to buy the tiki cause "we'd never be able to ship it home" and actually if we had shipped - it would have cost us 3 big bills as in over $300!!! but as Cary said - we got it on the plane for free. Do you know the story about where it came from? and also - do you know where can you get light-up fiberglass tikis like the one in the first main dining room?
