Holden,

I've sent you a few emails and got nothing back....?? Makes me think something is wrong? Can you let me know if you've gotten any of them?

Cheers,

Here's the first official sneak-peak to the Gecko online sale page. Some of you have contacted me wanting to know if you can get 2 of the mugs (1 prebook plus 1 online order) and that's aok. I feel that the bulk of tc are collectors vs. speculators and since the piece doesn't have the obvious resale opportunity like a Shag piece, I say go for it - hell, this is America baby... land o' the free! Here's the link - please read all of the text thoroughly...

http://www.tikifarm.com/html/gecko_ordering_info_page.htm

To ship 2 mugs, the total shipping charge in the continental US will add $6 (total $15.95 shipping/handling/insurance/signature required).

Do you mean a conf. on your c.card info sent to Lisa? You've been confirmed for the mug - if you need a conf. on the c.card info, I'll ask Lisa to send out confirmations - I don't get any of those emails. Lemme know!

Chongolio posted on 04/17/2004

I got my order in too. But I am a dork and in the excitement I pasted in my phone number instead of credit card number and sent it off into the ether .
So after realizing what I had done I went back and resubmitted my order.
I hope the lame brain rule is not in effect otherwise I might be ripe for disqualification. Damn, I told myself to breathe and stay calm but I still folded under pressure.

I’m with Tiki Dude – don’t think you have anything to worry about Ghongolio. Here it is now an hour and a half later and the page is still up and taking orders. Either they had more mugs than they let on or people are still asleep on this drizzly morning.

Either way I think we’ll be receiving a Gecko in the very near future. But only time will tell.

in case not, hey Holden ~ will these mugs go to your retailers too?

M
MakeDaMug posted on 04/17/2004

The mugs are approaching sold-out (approx. 30 left as of 12:45pm). I'm thinking maybe 1-2 more days and they'll be gone or even in the next few hours. The mugs won't be going to any of our retailers.
Mahaloz for the orders!!

Gecko,

No problem at all. Since you've been posting I've always wanted a carving of yours, but carvings cost ridiculous amounts to send on long journeys. Soon, through the magic of Tiki Farm, I'll have my hands on something you created, and posting a photo of the mug on TC will be a pleasure, not a chore.

I agree! Gecko, your mug perfectly captures the spirit of exotica and is one of the coolest ever created. When I get mine, the first drink will be a toast to you.

Without being too muck of a geek, is there a first drink we should all christen Gecko's work of art with? Or does it matter as long as there's rum involved?

Kon-Hemsby ,

I did a search on the internet and found the recipe below for a drink called "Exotica". The only problem I see is... Where the hell is the rum!

  • 2/4 oz. advocaat
  • 1/4 oz. whisky
  • 1/4 oz. Crème de Cacao (white)
  • 1 dash triple sec
  • 1 dash angostura bitters
  • 1 dash Orange Bitters

Here's the site: http://www.cocktailuk.co.uk/db/viewCocktail.asp?ID=8893

I've never tried this, so I can't speak for it. Maybe we should ask Gecko what he thinks. Hey, wait! Shouldn't it be Martin's favorite drink? I'll e-mail Gecko and see if he knows what that might be.

M
MachTiki posted on 04/19/2004

Gecko loved the idea and he said that he would call Mr. Denny later on today to find out what he favorite drink is. I'll post as soon as I hear from him.

M
MachTiki posted on 04/19/2004

Aloha all,

Gecko got back to me and here is what he said:

"I just got off the phone with him (Denny Martin) and unfortunatly his favorite drink
is the martini w/vodka and a olive. He said he didn't drink during his
sessions. I asked him when he would play at Don the Beachcombers if he
had anythin else besides the martini and he said 'Mai tai' so, looks
like the mai tai if you go with his choice. maybe call it the Denny Mai
Tai or something and make it real good instead of a watered down cheap
version. So if I stop by or your friends come over and say they want a
Denny Tai you know the difference between a regular mai tai and the
special one. Or what ever you guys come up with is cool. Just run with what
I told you that he said to me".

SO... this brings us to a whole new thread that I am going to create in the Main Discussion Area to avoid any confusion.

Look for "Looking for 'Denny Tai' recipe idea's".

Mahalo,

Holy Moly, Advocat in a tropical drink! Advocat is a Dutch concoction. My wife made abatch of it for the holidays. Lots of rum and lots of eggs. If you buy a bottle "Svarte Kip" is the good stuff.
