Finally, the good folks at Craters and Freighters safely delivered this stuff to my doorstep in a giant box full of styrofoam. I’m submitting some photos I took just after setting it up. Thanks to Chad for rescuing this set from the thrift store, and to Pam for keeping everyone informed. I’ll try to give it a good home.

$1200 huh? I think you made a good investment! Can’t wait to see the Jungle Room – hurry!

O.K. I’ll admit it. I’m the nut who paid $1,200 for this set on ebay. But I figure it’ll hold its value better than my 401(k), and if not, I’ll have a whole lot of fun with it anyway. My theory is that the Obamas used to own this stuff, but when they moved to D.C. they found out they didn’t need it anymore because President Kennedy already had an even better set installed years ago in a secret, highly classified bunker underneath the White House. So, the Obamas discretely donated the one you have here to a local thrift store as part of their efforts to stimulate the economy. Stay tuned and I’ll post some pix once I get it set up in my Elvis Jungle Room.

Aaaah, this would make my tiki bar so complete! I can’t imagine what the shipping from Virginia to California would be, even if I could possibly manage to outbid the other tikiphiles! I can’t wait to see what this goes for…thanks for the eye candy Pam!
