Aloha!
In celebration of our second anniversary, we’re pleased to announce the details for our next mug launch, The Kapulapu! The Limited Edition Forbidden Island Second Anniversary Kapulapu Mug will be released to the public on April 27th at 3:00pm. Designed & crafted by local Oakland artist Tiki Kaimuki, this very special and unique mug will certainly be a sell-out within minutes. Here’s a hint of how it looks in a green glaze:

The Forbidden Island edition will be cast in a classic satin black glaze reminiscent of the great OMC Moai mugs of long ago. In addition, each Forbidden Island version will feature a unique tongue- each one meticulously applied by hand and all one-of-a-kind! Each comes with a certificate of authenticity and features “FI2” in raised letters on the back of the mug.
The details:
-Mug sale starts at 3PM. Do not line up before the sun comes up.
-One mug per customer. No holding places in line- everyone interested in buying a mug must be in line the whole time.
-At 2:45, numbers will be issued. We’re doing something a little different this time: Your number will guarantee you the right to buy a mug, but not the number of the mug. When you get to the mug table, all of the mugs will be in boxes, and you’ll choose at random. Yes, number 1 will be available. But since they’re all unique, you may want to trade someone for a tongue you like better!
-CASH ONLY. Mugs are $75 each. PLEASE NOTE: Forbidden Island no longer has an ATM. Please make sure you have cash with you.
The total size of the edition may not be available until the last minute- it all depends on how the kiln behaves. Expect that there will be between 25 and 30.
SPECIAL BONUS: There will be an ultra-rare version of the mug in a white glaze with no tongue. Numbered “1.5”, this mug will be made available as a raffle item to give everyone a shot at it! Tickets will be on sale at FI on the 27th for $2 each and the raffle drawing will be held at 5:00PM. You must be present to win!
Good luck, have fun, and enjoy this beautiful new mug from a very talented Bay Area artist!
Mahalo!

I will be there, of course!!! We should organize Food Drops somehow... Seems around 10:00 AM and just before the bar opens, everyone is starving... I suppose I should get a list of who will deliver to FI at the needed times...

The Marina Village Inn is a healthy walk away...that would be my suggestion.

So, I've been to FI once while in town on business and have been looking for a reason to make another appearance...this smells like a reason. I'll be flying in from Phoenix on Saturday night in an attempt to score this fancy-schmancy mug. Are there any hotels within stumbling distance?
