Mug Shots

[Sylvanite]

I decided to pull my IAP mugs off the shelf and photograph them, just so I'd have a full set of pictures of my collection.

To start things off, here is the original IAP mug (front and side views, just like human mug shots). This was before Jeff started offering annual mugs during the Birthday Bashes.

I hope you enjoy the pics,
Eric

The Generic Mug

There was also a generic mug without any date that was sold outside of any Birthday Bash.

The 5th Anniversary Mug

For the 2009 Birthday Bash, Jeff introduced the first dated mug.

I decided I wasn't really happy with the mug photos, so I set the camera up again and took these.

The last mug shot of me was in a Mexican jail in Tijuana Mexico...I think. These are much better. Oh and by the way, Shore Patrol picked us up the next day and took us back to San Diego. Making around $120.00 a month in the Navy didn't come close to covering the cost of the destruction of the bar we did. Long story, but boy what a time we had.

The 15th Anniversary Mug

After the 15th anniversary mug (above), Jeff discontinued the glazed ceramic mugs - switching to engraved cups instead. I wasn't interested in them, so I stopped collecting. I didn't buy mugs for two years.

The 18th Anniversary Mug

In 2022, Jeff brought back ceramic mugs with this one:

There was no 19th Anniversary Birthday Bash, and therefore no mug.
