Here is the Adventureland punch thing again just in cas you want to try this at home.
This libation when mixed properly should resemble the murky blue green water often found in amusement parks. Like Matterhorn said to me, " greenish blue to hide the tracks ", OoooH Yuck! Come on Dive in!
The Concentrate:
It is stronly suggested that you make this mix in bulk prior to service.
Midori
Malibu Rum
Pyrat Blanco Rum
Blue Curacao
Orgeat Syrup
Pineapple Juice
Orange Juice
( The key is to balance the sweetness with the power of rum. Make it STRONG! )
Service Method:
After adding ice to your favorite mug add soda water then AP mix then another splash of soda. Top with a floater of dark rum, garnish and suck em' up! 2 of these should knock you on your ass!
Enjoy!

FUN ALERT!!!!!!
Oh, and just a little reminder about my FAVORITE event of the Summer.
This weekend is the Mopar Mile High Nationals. Friday and Saturday are qualifying days and they rock because you get to see more of the big stuff, ( Top Fuel and Funny Car ), than on Sunday. Friday night kicks ass because you can see the ten food header flames. Sunday is the real race though. Anyone from TC who is interested in hooking up for this on Sunday, PM me and let me know. I will be having a post race wind down at my home bar on Sunday evening.
Lots of H20, ice cold beer & Burgers on the grill as this is what you NEED after a day of this nitro burnin'insanity.
If you haven't ever seen real top notch professional Drag Racing before, this will absolutely blow your mind!
May the Force be with you. John Force that is.
This is the Fink in Tiki Fink.
Over and out!

Aloha tiki-el!
I checked out your link and that is some incredible work!
Your talents are a definite asset to the Ohana and I'd like to chat with you offline about some ideas for the event.

Thanks for the intel Zulu!
I had a feeling that the Old Curtis thing would be pretty half hearted.
As for the Boyd's thing, it is remarkably sad that the inspiration is fading. The Modern Drunkard crowd really needs it's own dedicated press club. That element alone really made Tiki Boyd's kind of special.
I for one am determined to get behind The Hut. I really hope that they dedicate a good amount of space to their bar and make it one of those places that you hate to leave once you have settled in.

I've been talking on and off with Troy Worgull who is the Architech behind "the Hut". He's doing his best to make it right although he doesn't quite know all there is about tiki and who's who. He did mention Bosko is in on it....and thats good. If anything goes wrong with the Bosko lead I'll do my best to introduce Troy to Bamboo Ben.
I did send him some pictures.....but with all the talent there is in the tiki world its a long shot. I'm just a bump on the ass of some of the amazing tiki artists and designers there are out there.
But either way.....I'll be there inhaling the beauty of it all....

If they're involving Bosko and at least making an attempt to do it right, then I feel more optimistic about the end product. A shame that none of us are creating such a place.

I thought the interiors for Taboo Cove were pretty decent. His tikis are something else entirely.

Aloha folks!
I'm gonna tweak the Tiki Links announcment a bit and then repost.
But while you're waiting remember....
Don't hang up your leis just yet. We're oiling up the torches, cutting up more fruit for garnish and our humble tiki party, featuring Eleio's Lost Island Lounge, will have one last summer hurrah! Mark your calendars as we'll be offering our final dose of aloha attitude on Saturday, August 5th as the Summer of Denver Tiki Madness continues. No costs for drinks this time (donations will be accepted if we begin to run a little dry) and since we've discovered a lack of acceptable Chinese in the area, we're encouraging everyone to dine before arriving and to bring a snack or finger food.
Make sure to stop by to enjoy the last of that "new tiki party" smell.
Oh, one other thing. As some of you noticed from the pictures of the last party, I was a little too wrapped up in playing host and bartender to get some good photos of the Ohana for Tiki Magazine. Well not this time! Those good folks have extended my window for these pics, so I'll be making sure to get them. Therefore, anyone who wants a chance at possibly ending up in the Fall issue, please make it to the party at or near the start. That way the I'll still have the daylight and everyone should still be sober enough to sit still for a picture or two. I still have those giveaways, as well!
Mahalo!

Thanks Tiki Fink! I appreciate that. But Bosko does some great work and has probably been doing it the longest.....Can almost be credited with keeping Tiki alive. Even in the 70's when it really started to die. His look is more modern tiki, Florida style. Not my cup but still cool.
Ya know, this thread seems to be the only one I check any more. Just quickly inbetween diapers and work.

Now that I've got a few of the bugs worked out, here's the first portion of the announcement:
