Here is a photo of it while it was still at the Jasmine Tree:

I was at both Thatch and Alibi last week while visiting my ex-in-laws in Gresham. Asked about mugs at both places. Both said they used to have something years ago but had no idea if they ever would again. Missed it by a week. Bummer.

Also, I am about 99% sure that the Alibi never had a tiki mug. I have been asking around for years and no one has ever seen one. If anyone has even seen an Alibi mug, please let me know. Robert

Robert No worries. The servers at both establishments were totally excellent and very friendly, but they didn't seem like hard core tikiphiles or urban archeologists. They gave me the best answers they could. I was mainly interested in seeing Thatch, because my late wife worked at the Sheraton Kon Tiki throughout her college years. I took my ex-laws there and they pointed out the tikis that used to be at Susan's workplace.

If I had known I would have invited you over to the table. However, maybe you wouldn't have wanted to sit with us. Robert labeled my group of friends and I as misfits and asked us to move to the back tiki hut. Maybe that was because we had taken over three tables and were clearly a party of more than 6 making us worthy of back tiki hut privileges. Damn, it sure was hot up there last night!

Your group was still sitting down below the hut when I left around 5:30, so the "fun" must've started after that! :drink:
RB Rum Balls Tiki Socialite Da Big Island Joined: Oct 04, 2004 Posts: 910	RB Rum Balls Posted posted on Thu, Jul 2, 2009 5:51 PM To Merc Mag and anyone else wanting a mug: My impression is that there's plenty o' mugs fer drinkin' and buyin'. The supply will run out at some point, but it won't happen right away. If you're coming to Tiki Kon in a month, the mugs more than likely will be around. But if you're worried about missing out on this fantastic mug, I will be more than happy as "First Runner Up" (see earlier post in this thread) to order and drink a Marquesan Baby Eater for you and save the mug!

M mercmag Member Portland Oregon Joined: Jul 02, 2009 Posts: 6	M mercmag Posted posted on Sun, Jul 5, 2009 11:24 AM I would love to go to Tiki Kon but I don't drink alcohol, do you think it would still be worth going? As for the mug, I'll buy, you drink the booze and I'll keep the mug!
