Hi, as you know, I'm moving to CA, so I decided I'll relocate the Moai to my parents' backyard. In the process I also changed its color to a darker tone and dry brushed a lighter grey on him so he looks more stone like.

Also - the Friday a week before International Tiki Day, I finaly located real limes, so I bought about 40 of them and proceeded to get some supplies for making the drinks.
A couple of months before that, Caber-Net traded me a bottle of Lemon Hart 151 proof that was one of the essential ingerdients for making a Zombie. Now that I had the fresh limes, I could finaly make a real Zombie.

I did not care that it was around 2 p.m. and that I hadn't drank or eaten anything that day, and I was suffering form sleep depravation (I was working on mixing our album).
I started with 2 Mai Tais, and then made the Zombie per Beachbum Berry's instructions in "Intoxica"

There's the potent 151 being mesured in my hard to find mesuring cup that has Oz markings...

Actualy, my brother photographed every stage of making the Zombie, but I think you get the idea...

Here's the finished product. Notice that since all our Tiki mugs are packed, and we don't have any Collins glasses, I decided to use the Pacific Beach Tiki bar glass (which matches the T-shirt I'm wearing in the pic!).
I really look like someone who hasn't slept properly for 3 weeks, hasn't eaten or drank anything in this pic.

And the results, you ask?
Well, my bro was too nice and did not take any pics of me passed out on the sofa. It really floored me. The 2 Mai Tais before it certainly helped.

BTW - a week later on ITD, everybody came prepared with a full stomach and no one passed out, although we all drank much more than this...
