| The Gondolier Bearista Bear was issued in Starbucks Concept Stores
(grocery stores) only. He is NOT a numbered edition, but he sure is
cute. There is a rumor floating around that some of the gondolier
bears were sent to a few retail stores by accident.

"Passport to
Perfection Bear" - 2000
This Bearista was handed to
Starbucks employees ONLY at the 2000 Northeast Zone Leadership
Conference.
The Bear is slightly smaller than the usual Bearista
Bears and I think made by a different company. He has a white scarf
around his neck with "PASSPORT TO PERFECTION" and "NORTHEAST ZONE
LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE" written on it in red.
Tag says "Northeast
Zone Leadership Conference May 2000" on the front and "Passport to
Performance - Meeting New Challenges Together - Starbucks Coffee" on
the back in red. Tush tag says Princess Soft Toys on front and the
usual washing instructions on the back.
(Thanks wylie_will)

goggles |
