Thanks for the heads up probably wouldn't have found them until I dumped the foam peanuts in the giant box of peanuts I have in the basement and who knows when that would have happened. Found a nice big stack of drink suggestion placemats and a most excellent bar guide that was at one point a marketing piece for Northland Firelog. You, my friend, ROCK.

A blue whalers tiki shot glass, an OMC Maui Kauai mug in it's ORIGINAL BOX, Trader Vic's Bartender's Guide, Walgreens S&P shakers, Don the Beachcomber plaque, four Maui Tiki Tours postcards and one large Mai Kai postcard. WOW! The only thing missing was the TC name of the person who'd sent it all. I sent a quick PM inquiry to Trade-Off coordinator Bogielocks and the mystery was solved. My trader was none other than Bogielocks himself! We both got a laugh outa that one! Thanks Bogielocks for all the great stuff AND for making this trade-off happen!

SF Slacks Ferret Tiki Socialite Calgary Joined: Oct 02, 2003 Posts: 1396	SF Slacks Ferret Posted posted on Mon, May 12, 2008 8:27 PM Thanks Closettiki! This got here on Friday: I got a Don the Beachcomber Barrel Mug! So Nice! I'm also a bit of a swizzle stick nerd, so the Kahiki ones were great! I never had those ones yet. Plus, I received several Beachcomber tiki food picks! I'm guessing these may have originated from the Edmonton restaurant, so it wouldn't be much of a stretch to say that these food picks have practically travelled in a full circle around Western North America. P.S. TikiHai, that was me who sent the Hing Wah Calgary version of the R3 mug. Sorry for the lack of info (...and goodies! I too thought everyone would follow the "1 mug for 1 mug" rule...but now I know better!)

If someone hasn't received their trade, PM me, and I will try to get it resolved. I have just about everyone accounted for. Until Christmas time, thanks to all who were involved...
