Trader Vic's, the grandfather of tiki bars, is holding a "once-in-a-lifetime" merchandise sale all week, until the 29th, at its Richmond, CA headquarters.

It's a good thing my basement tiki bar is full, otherwise I might be tempted to fly to CA and spent HUNDREDS, if not THOUSANDS, of dollars on TV schwag.
When I saw this post, I immediately told my co-workers I was taking the afternoon off, walked to my car, and drove to their warehouse. OMFG. I would estimate around fifty huge tiki idols, including several that were too large to stand up in the giant space. I quickly gathered that the (unmarked) prices were fittingly high, and shifted my attention to smaller items. Clothing, serving bowls, model ships, nautical whatnots, oil paintings, masks, bamboo... and the very item I coveted most: the skull mug! I bought 5 at $20/per. Thanks, BoingBoing!
I saw a werewolf drinking a pina colada at Trader Vic's.
His hair was perfect.
