It’s been a while since your faithful hosts got genuinely tossed during the podcast.  Both Sunshine and Pumpkin suck down a delicious drink made with Montanya Oro Rum, a smooth concoction that sneaks up on you.  Our music this week is none other than the Bikini Beachcombers, some great tunes that make any day by the pool or lake that much more enjoyable.  Hell, you could even spend a day doing yard work, sipping a mai tai and the easy sounds of drum and uke will take you away.  Pumpkin brings us the tiki news this week, all about Southern California events of tiki and zen culture.  She also shares some more info on super foods, those helpful little fruits and veggies that are both tropical and GOOD for you.  Sunshine rants a bit about Linda Lingle, the flip flopping governor of Hawaii, who just can’t seem to decide if she likes or dislikes gay people.  Or in political speak, she doesn’t want to commit to any platform until the very last minute so she can get as many votes as possible.  Typical political BS.  Stupid Linda Lingle.  We toss in lots of other useful subjects and so not so useful blathering.  Big Mahalos to Montanya Rum and the Bikini Beachcombers for making this episode fun for us and the listeners.

Be sure to visit the link above for recipes and ordering info for Montanya Rum, one of the best rums Sunshine has every let pass his lips.

Pumpkin is fresh back from her trip to France with stories to tell.  Kalani is just plain drunk, yet entertaining as always.  And that leaves Sunshine to try and hold the show together.  At the suggestion of a listener we try a fabulous cocktail from Beachbum Berry’s latest book, Remixed.  The Mexican Headhunter is tequila drink with a long list of ingredients.  Two of the ingredients, the honey mix and sage syrup you will have to make from scratch just to enjoy the beverage.  But after a few minutes in the kitchen you too can enjoy a Mexican Headhunter.  Not only do we have a special drink but also some great Summer music.  Our featured band this week is The Exotics and their album “Lost Album.”  This surf rock extravaganza is full of solid tunes and an awesome garnish for a day at the pool with a cocktail.  After the headhunter set in, Sunshine rants about the EVIL Meg Whitman and her campaign to buy the governors office in California.  Pumpkin tells us all about the totally BS holidays in June, including take your dog to work day.  Kalani ends the show with a little story about her tattoo, which is also the album art for this weeks show.  Check out the podcast for more details on Tiki Oasis and ways to find cheap quality booze.

Sunshine and Starshine here in the lounge this week.  And we are very happy to have some great music for you this show.  New tunes from both the Bikini Beachcombers and The Exotics.  Be sure to follow the links to get your own copy of the music and find out more about the bands.  Our drink this week comes to us from the Beachoutpost blog, by Brad Beach.  The Cruzan Blue Coco Mojito is a damn refreshing beverage if we do say so ourselves.  This drink is just a taste (pun intended) of the great stuff you can find at Beachoutpost.  But now that we have some booze in us and the tunes are inspiring, it turns to Gary Coleman.  Yep!  Gary has left us for good and both of your hosts have a few words of praise and admiration.  Sunshine also chats a little about last weeks Tiki-Caliente and calls upon the spirits of the Hukilau for good karma.  While we were recording this podcast our friends over in Ft. Lauderdale are living it up at the Hukilau and the world famous Mai Kai.  We admit that jealousy is within us.  Good luck to Duda Leite, he is premiering Tikimentary In Search of Lost Paradise and Sunshine has a cameo.

So you may not have been able to run off to Palm Springs this weekend, but Sunshine has put together a recap of the weekend event.  The heat was intense but so was the music, cocktails and shenanigans.  Rory Snyder put on a great event with excellent music and cocktails.  Martini Kings, Tikiyaki Orchestra, Elminators and Hula Girls were all there.  Cherry Capri made an appearance by the pool and hosted the fashion show.  Trio Restaurant hosted the bars and Coruba and Appleton Rums sponsored.  If you have a chance to get to Palm Springs we recommend you visit the Caliente Tropics for some relaxation by the pool and some great drinks to go with all the heat and sun.  The weekend proved to be very memorable.  Enjoy the show.
