Dale and I had a fun time and talked to some really nice people.
I picked up this really cool print from one of the vendors...
...and also this Red Owl sticker. So retro.
Can't wait for next year.

Big Kahuna Bash 2024 Part 4
Saturday, July 27, 2024
Next up was King Custom and the Cruisers.
King Kustom and the Cruisers is the name of Bill & Ernie Batson’s 1970s outfit; they played mostly ’50s covers with a lotta Elvis & Conway thown in. They were fantastic. Simply fantastic.
It was nice the humidity broke a little bit as we were watching the bands. We also picked up a nice breeze which was really pleasant.

For my third drink I got the Big Kahuna which the menu described as: "A tasty blend of dark rum, citrus, honey and passion fruit. Who's the Big Kahuna? You're the Big Kahuna!" Dale got another Coors Light. Please note: Dale and I were both drinking lots of water to combat the heat and humidity. We met a nice woman named Tea who was sitting next to us at the bar. It was fun chatting with her.
We then headed out to listen to the Swongos.
The Swongos are an instrumental surf, spy, and exotica band. We've seen them before and they never disappoint.
I downloaded some of their music.

Dale and I found a nice spot to sit at the bar. Where we were getting a little breeze as were were close to some air conditioning vents. The bar was pretty hot and humid cuz they were keeping the back door open for access to the patio.
For my second drink I had the Mai Tai which the menu described as: "A classic exotic cocktail that is quintessential in tiki culture. Fresh lime, orgeat, orange curacao, dark rum, and Hart & Son 1804!

Dale and I headed out for Grumpy's Northeast for the Big Kahuna Bash #6. It was a hot AND humid day.
Dale and I got to Grumpy's around 3:30. It was hot and humid in the bar as well due to having the back door open allowing access to the patiio.
Dale ordered beer. For my first drink I ordered the Grumpy's Grog. This drink was desribed on the menu as: "A drink inspired by the founder of tiki - Donn Beach. A Demerara rum, lime juice, Donn's Mix and your transported to the islands."

Dinner and the Intoxicats
Friday, July 26, 2024
Dinner tonight at Creekside, our favorite supper club. The Intoxicats were having dinner there too.
After dinner we headed next door to the Parkway Theater for a show by the Intoxicats. We've seen them before and to say they're a lot of fun is an understatement. Their sound is an interesting mix of surf, exotica, new wave, and pop made even more interesting with elements of funk.
They sang original material like the Velvet Gorilla but they also did some interesting covers like Blondie's Rapture, Kim Wilde's Kids In America.

The Intoxicats also covered and presented a pretty faithful version of Kim Wilde's Kids In America. Love 80s music. I observed lots of old people in the crowd and then realized they were the same age as I am.
