Only those with Tiki Caliente wristbands could bid on these mugs. The winning bidders were announced on Saturday night, and the mugs had to be picked up by Sunday.

Bang, Megan Besmirched, Norm Daniels, Tiki Tony, Eric October, The Boozy Doodler, Nancy Freeman, Janet Mulder, Brandon Long, Brian Rechenmacher, James Owens, Rory Snyder, plus a few more announced during the event.
