Hey y'all -

I'm looking for some help from those of you not in my immediate vicinity (which is, I think, everyone except B_C)

Starbucks as a collector's series of mugs in many of the stores right now.  Some are themed to cities (Detroit, Washington DC) and others to states (North Carolina, Hawaii).  We've got the 4 I just mentioned, but I'd love to help her fill out the collection.

If y'all don't mind checking your local McCoffeebucks for these mugs, and shoot me a note.  I'm happy to cover the costs of the mugs/shipping for the ones we can track down.

I've also got some work colleagues tracking down mugs from Toronto and San Diego (where we've got folks headed over the next 2 weeks or so).

Sample image of the mugs I'm looking for:



Just shoot me a note if you can help out.  Thanks!

I'll take whatever I can get!  Some international one would be wicked cool, but I don't even know if they make them...

A Grogheads mug would be cool.

Let us get some administrivia knocked out.  I want to get us set up on Cafe Press where we can do mugs, shirts, etc.  I really want a GrogHeads shirt or two, just to make everyone at work wonder what I'm up to.

Brant, I'll check my local SB for a Maine mug.

OK, just because I'm lazy like that, I surfed over to Starbucks.com to see if I could magically make your mugs appear.

Apparently, you are on a legitimate Quest. I could not find them on the website. I'll roll by my local one here in a few minutes and see what I can find for you.

...except that I was clever enough to hit Amazon.com (where your image came from) and discovered you can buy a ton of them there.

Nevertheless I'll see what my local shop has.

I'll check and see if there is anything worthwhile here.

No joy at Starbucks #1. Fortunately there are about a dozen in town.

I found nothing at my local shop. The girl said she'd worked there for months and never seen one. And more interesting, there was a guy in just yesterday who asked for the same thing.

maybe this German fan website could be handy there are ppl who sell and want to trade their mugs

I'm starting to get the sense that this might be a head game that Brant is playing. See how many of us he can get to look for the mugs that don't really exist!
