Didn't the original make it to Margaritaville in Key West, and put on display? Or somewhere?

Anybody have one of the last photos of it? and I am sure that the "Thread" of the Indy experience of the Palm Tree being stolen is long gone. I never had to climb out of hotel window to go get a beer from the bar, but that day, I had too....... 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)

It was shipped to the MV in Vegas, Charlie's buddy, who was Jimmy's pilot, got it from HI to Vegas, and it was in the managers office and were trying to figure out a way to display it.
Such great memories. :D

Ahem.
"Yes". The image used on the yellow flag (a bit muted in color) is the creation of Glenn/SecretsintheCrust. I have one of those flags signed by most of the Coral Reefers.

The more colorful image used here was my recreation. I have a large version of the image if you can't contact Glenn/SecretsintheCrust.

Hey SP,

Out of curiosity, and if you can recall, how did you do the blend on the LHS of the image?

I tried to replicate something similar for a work job a while back - with little success. Ended up going down a quite painful, manual multi-blend path.

That's all he did?....i transported it from Dallas back to Michigan, then to Chicago.....where it was handed off and made it's way back to Texas, and up to Indianapolis - where i stole it from a hotel room while two woman were changing, jumped through windows (literally), took stairwells, stopped at the liquor store for supplies, returned to the scene of the crime, and had it displayed proudly on the bar of the hotel....


if that thread could only be recovered, as there were supportive pixs of the event.....LOL....

Damn second best thread ever on BN....LOL
