The souvenirs that you need are "Tides Tavern" gear. T-shirts, hats, tank tops, whatever...

There is a theory that sooner or later *everyone* on the planet visits the Tides Tavern in Gig Harbor.

I make a habit of wearing my Tides wardrobe when I travel. Without fail... I'll be in some obscure place far removed from Gig Harbor... (like Reagan National in DC) and somebody will come up to me and say "Hey! Tides Tavern! I've been there!". It happens all the time.

In fact... on my most recent flight back from SFO in May... I was wearing my Tides vest, and discovered that one of the flight attendants was from GH. I got all my beers for free. :-)

Sounds like Eskimo Joe's here...a jumpin' little juke joint.

Gees! That's like traveling with Benny! I have never ever been on a trip with him that we didn't have someone come up to him that knew him! I mean, we used to travel often to different states on bike trips. People walk up to him in gas stations, restaurants, Harley shops - everywhere! "Hi, aren't you Benny ******?" It is just freakin' weird!
