Hey James,

It's Mary-Margaret and Cary. 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.

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?

Okay, so you're saying that if I had been able to come out that night, I would ahve been there for the purchase?

D'ooohhh!

(sound of palm of hand slapping on the forehead)

That fiberglass Tiki is rare. It was recently damaged in fact, and a pal of mine took it home and fixed it for them. Wish I could get my mitts on a few of 'em. Next time you're in town I will come out with you for sure - you have world-class Tiki hunting karma, and a powerful skill of the 'sell-me-that-thing-type of persuasion...
