The mug looks amazing. It is getting exciting to see what it will all look like once it's finished!

Hey Hanford, Munktiki and I got mentioned in our local Santa Cruz paper a few weeks ago regardin' the mug contest. They also mentioned Tiki Chris and my old buddy Kamapua'a. I just found out last night when I was doing some ego surfin' Pretty cool if you ask me but I not sure how acurate the "fame and fortune" part is.
You can check it out here, The blurb is the second article down the page.

I was wondering what happens when you have four people with straws stuck into the lid and someone pulls a bit on their straw and next thing you know the lid is on the table and broken. I was gonna say, maybe it needs a lock, but it looks like there is a lip on the roof to kind of prevent that.

Chongolio, have you driven down the coast to see the work in progress? It's got to be less than an hour drive for you to Stuckie's shop. The Hut looks amazing! Any idea on a price or when we can get our name on the list to be one of the first to get one?? I would think it will take months for Stuckie to get through the first round of orders.

I love the Ohana Hut, I really do, but it sucks that I will never be able to afford one.

Hey Maui Tiki No I have not driven down to Monterey to see the mug progress. I have been unbelievably busy. However, I have a very strong feeling we will be seeing a finished Ohana Hut in the very near future. I don't have any information about how the sales and the list are going to be worked out or how when the Ohana Hut will actually be available. I do know that Stuckie and Hanford are probably busier than I am and one of them will let everybody know when and what to do to get signed up when they have all their ducks are in tight formation.

It's FANTASTIC! Those who attended the opening party at Forbidden Island got to see the completed prototype of Chongolio's Hut mug! Live and in person! Stuckie brought along a finished one for us to check out. And, Hanford and Humuhumu were putting it to good use. 
Credit card is in hand and ready... Good job Randy and Stuckie!

Ooh la la!
This is a prototype, so the final version will probably have some small changes. Already, it's impressively faithful to Chongolio's original design! I didn't get any pictures of the other sides of it unfortunately, but lots of people took pictures of it, so hopefully someone else can post theirs. We found that the placement of the straw holes is ingenious -- it creates an optimal StMT (Straw-to-Mouth Trajectory).

A Mystery Drink! Which at Forbidden Island is a true mystery -- it's bartender's choice, so you never know what you're going to get.
