Way to stay on message and timetable Trader Sams... :D So is the new zombie paintjob the LE one or is it some undisclosed one that will show up on ebay the day of even if the actual glasses aren't shipped until November? :D |

The event description lays it out. You'll get the chance to buy the 2nd edition zombie at the event, but you'll be getting a Trader Sam's logo glass. Which will be the LE glass that you could only get at the event. Sounds like it'll be a lowball glass with the Mahaloween Luau text and date on it. Very much tempted, even at that really high price tag. [ Edited by: tikijackskeleton 2014-09-10 01:34 ] |

I registered from 3-4pm as its the only time I can make it before I have to speed home to pick my daughter up from daycare (a good 1.5-2hrs away depending on traffic). Even then, its going to be a very close call without getting overcharged, but hey, you do what you gotta do right? :wink: I'm very excited for this and hope to see/meet some of you there! |

I can't make it, but a friend of mine can/will. Eager to see the swag. That print and bag sound great. And the glass, of course. And the mug. (less orange that expected, no?) |

Yeah I don't know why/how I got orange in my head...probably would have liked it better but this should make a nice addition regardless. After the zombie, supposedly another Uh Oa. |

Orange would have been tacky bullshit, and you know it. This at least looks more like a zombie does in present media. :D |

No, I don't, because when I think of a nice orange inner glaze I think of think of this: |

So..... the new mug might be orange after all. The tan/skin tone one has been rumored to be the 'exclusive' glass. Funky, I know. |

Oh, internal glaze, I thought you meant the mug exterior was orange, which would be tacky bullshit. |

I was under the impression that the exterior glaze was orange? If it is, it could be done well... just not too vibrant. More of a muted tone. AKA: not dayglow. |

When I first read the Parks blog post, I thought the zombie mug in the photo (with the "new" glaze" was the limited edition "glass", with it being available to the public AFTER the event. But, re-reading it for a third time, I think there really are TWO different vessels in play here:
If there's actually two different glazes for the zombie mug available at the event, great. But I don't read it that way. Regardless, I'm psyched TS is hosting this event and look forward to seeing some of you guys there. |

Same. I expect more of a double old fashioned glass. I guess two zombies would be cool but who knows. The 29th is taking forever to arrive! |

From what I read, I think its going to be a zombie mug just for the event like the one pictured and then the 2nd edition mug which we will be able to buy. The stamped luau glass is part of the bag of stuff you get as you leave. Judge me by my mugs, they are an extension of my soul, a mirror of my DNA, my worth as an individual.

Agreed! But I suspect the event mug and the 2nd edition Zombie are the same, except the event mug has the event name and date printed on it. |

This is what I've learned recently, broken down a bit easier than what the event blog mentioned: Admission includes: So that might settle the debate. Whether that includes a different glaze variation for the special edition zombie glass, or if the date etc is simply inscribed, we'll just have to wait until the 29th. Is it the 29th yet? |

I'm trying to remember if they usually do items with dates... I think they don't mostly because of the huge lag time required and the reality that dates can change. |

I called on 9/15 and they were sold out for the Mahaloween Luau. Called again on 9/19 and they had two slots available for 4:30. Hope the souvenir mug is unique and fantastic! |

They did put the date on the Tiki Room 50th event mug: http://www.ooga-mooga.com/cgi-bin/all/pictures.cgi?mode=view&pic_id=104678&mug_id=6421 So I suspect the date will be a decaled on as well. |

That is silk-screened though, which is faster to roll out than having it stamped in the mug itself before firing. They did also set to the closest Saturday afterwards, this is more of just some random Monday (the 29th, right?). |

Nope, Tiki Tony's art is not the print on canvas mentioned. He made this for Heather Sievers' (Dining in Disney) 40th birthday party invites and doubled it as an unofficial freebie for the first two time slots of the event. |

Yes! They confirmed this is the new Uh-Oa bowl destined for Sam's. Didn't give an exact date, but it sounds like it's whenever their supplies of the current bowl run out. Though, I had a few zombies, so I could have missed it. :wink: |

What, you're saying that a $125 cocktail hour (literally an hour, right?) on a rando Monday wasn't as impressive? :D |

I think it's great that they WANT to do stuff like this. And that we got some info on new TS developments (here and Orlando) that most people aren't privy to beforehand, but I admittedly enjoyed the time much more after I went inside TS afterward and Kelly made us some drinks. I want that shirt though! |
