Thanks Tony, I'll do my best to make it happen. I know it's a lot of work but in the end it will be so worth it. Dan and I have strong family ties to the Zombie Hut. My grandpa took my family there for Thanksgiving. Dan and I dated there. After dinner and the Polynesian show we would dance. It was such a special place. They never had any ceramics for sale so this will be a first. See you at Oasis, Wendy

i'm stoked about this mug! i went to the zombie hut a few times when i was a kid and once danced with the hula dancer. the only thing i've come across from there is a matchbook, which has a place of honor in my crazy al curiosity cabinet. it's a shame they never had signature mugs. the only sacramento mug i have is a tiki bob.

Aloha Mates!
Duane, yes we would love to host again. We're putting the finishing touches on the firepit in the back yard so we were hoping to be an evening stop this year, for ambiance, and then we can drink more, ha!
Love the mug, can't wait to display one on the shelf 
Let us know! We're really looking forward to it!

Super news...Mike said the mold is five pieces and he has done two this weekend. This mug is such a group project.
1. Duane comes up with the idea.
2. I did the sculpt.
3. Bullet supplies a master mold maker.
4. Mike starts the mold.
Meanwhile I've been reading books on how to do slip casting, how to fire using a kiln, glazing, the whole thing.
Babalu says he'll talk me through it.
Oh I forgot to mention we bought a kiln that will be delivered in a couple of weeks. I'm going to learn this step by step. No more Sculpey now it's the real deal.
Cheers, Wendy

I will be ready with brush in hand to start helping with the painting (I think you will need help with the cold paint)?
Can't wait to see this! Wendy, you are the greatest. Not only here, but in the other threads too!

PTD, Vamp, Surf and Tiki G
Thank you all for the encouragement it's better than chocolate.
PTD if you would like to paint your own or more, that would be fun. Cold paint will be fast compared to the rest of the steps.
Tiki G, come on up! Who is Mel?
Vamp we could have a play day and make a 1/1 RN mug for your collection.
Surf, I hope you can make it to the crawl, it would make your parents and the rest of us happy!

Tenative? What's a Sacramento Crawl with its first ever mug without a visit to the Jungle Room? That place is a Sacramento Tiki Mecca!

We are the backup in case someone can't do it at the last minute. Then we fill in their spot, just like last year. Or we could not worry about that and just be on the list. We are up for either. Thank you for the comment Chief Bartender! Wendy
