Thanks so much everyone.

A few years ago I tried to film all of my pinup shoots and create videos for them. When I watch them now, the editing feels a little bloated... and the videos just weren't really getting traction with the YouTube algorithm. But if you're curious, they are still there for ya.

The production schedule that I try to keep is all-consuming. When people say that they are going to do a tiki show or a cocktail show, I say, 'good luck.' And I sincerely mean it. The time spent shooting and editing is insane... the gear that you need to film this stuff to look professional is prohibitively expensive (thankfully I also use that stuff for my other career). Scheduling guests is in itself, a whole separate job. I really do appreciate anyone who subscribes to the channel www.youtube.com/thehulagirls or who joins the Patreon. It's keeping me going.

I'm back in the office of my day job now and it's making this show exceedingly difficult to keep up with... BUT with the help of some serious sponsors, I'm hoping to make the show my main thing. My goal for next year is to double the output of content and really make a dent in YouTube. The overarching plan is to continue to celebrate the cocktails and culture of the Golden Age of tiki while sometimes interviewing guests or involving adjacent topics.

Tonight I'm reviewing a 14-piece Cocktail Set from A Bar Above. Every week, the show premiers on youtube at 6:30pst with a pre-party on @thehulagirls Instagram Live starting at 6:00. I've done almost 130 of those. Make yourself a daiquiri, I hope to see ya there!
