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.

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.

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."
