Below: Sunshine Tiki takes you on a quick preview of room party hosted by Zen Tiki Lounge at Tiki Caliente 10 in Palm Springs, May 2018

Those of us who attend weekend long tiki parties often have a hard time explaining to others what we did for 3-5 days.  The best way is to show you. Below you see lots of fantastic cocktails from all those who hosted on the crawl this year at Tiki Caliente 10.  Room themes were outstanding as you can see. Pirates, mermaids, casino, Godzilla and Monkeys just to name a few.

346 Don't Let Obama Take Our Rum

Sometimes it takes more than one try to get our podcast recorded and ready for you.  Sunshine and Starshine were in the lounge sipping the Forbidden Atoll when shortly after finishing the show, disaster struck.  We may never know where the original first 20 minutes of this episode went.  Lucky for everyone we were together again at a local casino and had time to bring the laptop.  Special thanks to our listeners who sent in some great questions that led to ample conversation.  And, a big Mahalo to Mr. Ho himself for sending an audio clip with details on the upcoming tour.  Listen to the whole hour for all the fun.  Plus, music by Jim Fiegan from his album Tiki Blues.
