Okay! Things have finally calmed down a little bit & I was able to take pics of my kool package. I got home Wednesday, after working 13 hours & found this package waiting for me:
OH, BOY!!!! I carefully opened the package, saving the kool wrapping paper, (I'll find some way to use it in the lounge). Inside was a smorgasbord of Poly Pop Culture!
First, a place mat from Minnie's & a couple of great swizzles from Forbidden Island & Conga Lounge:
A napkin from Damon's, a Tonga Hut 50th button & matchbooks from Trader Vic's Emeryville, Sam's Seafood & two from Bahooka:
Next up a program from In Search Of Tiki, simply awesome, & a Sculpture & Scribbles field guide:
Next, a super anniversary glass from Disneyland's Enchanted Tiki Room:
Rounding out the culture part of our program was some kool Tikiyaki swag:
Now a plethora of way-kool Eric October art:
A Tiki God On A Stick, A Tiki Bar Protector God & a personalized Christmas card from the man himself:
A pair of ambiance candles, woohoo!:
A pair of neato Tiki prints, another swank Christmas card & an awesome hand-painted Tiki box!!!!:
Now, I'm no Frank Hardy, but by now I've figured out that my Secret Santa is Eric October aka tobunga. Eric, I gotta tell ya; you went WAY above & beyond the call of duty on this one. Honestly, for a guy in Massachusetts to receive all of this kool stuff from the West Coast is really something special! I spent a couple hours just pouring over this stuff, no longer exhausted from my long day at work, but completely re-energized.
Now, on every sunny day, a little rain must fall:
The mug didn't fare so well. Eric, I know you're gonna feel bad about this, but honestly, after all the other kool stuff, the mug was almost secondary. You managed to decorate half my lounge in one shot! Even with the tragedy, I am thrilled with my package & I can't thank you enough!
Mahalo,

P.S: Rick, thank you again for putting together this great swap. I'm already planning my package for the next one!
