The story goes, of course, that Don the Beachcomber whipped up the Zombie one day to help a hungover businessman get through an important meeting. Now witness the past brought to life in this no-budget, shot-in-two-hours, David Lean-style epic: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1204408149423546797&hl=en (please view either normal or double size only- anything larger is to pixelly) Many thanks to the Tiki-Ti & The Buhens, Sven, and the whole Bassham family for making this happen. And a very special thanks to my better half Rebecca who spent the night I was in LA feverishly decoding the poorly translated PDF manual for the video editing software and was able to put the whole thing together in just a few days- having never done anything like this in her life. She does indeed rock most hard. Enjoy!

That was actually Jeff Berry Sr. I think we're on The Bum III.

You should get that Sven guy to do more stuff, he's a natural! I missed the seminar but I've heard there is a video of it out there, this is a good teaser. Thanks.

Can be found here, http://mondoliquor.storesecured.com/items/mixers/funkin-fruit-mixers/funkin-peach-mixer-funkin-mixer-peach-300gr-copy-detail.htm Also, Martin would be great if you post your slide show online too. Really need help in remembering how to pronounce "Orgeat".

Really need help in remembering how to pronounce "Orgeat". Mondoliquor's price seems a bit high for the PF syrup. Here's the links I found: http://www.baldorfood.com/store/Funkin-Passion-Fruit-Puree-5123-prod.htm -- $84 for a case, which is about $17 plus shipping per unit. http://www.thedrinkshop.com/products/nlpdetail.php?prodid=2491 -- these guys will ship to the US. Cost per kilo is the same as above, but they also will be offering smaller pouches. I recommend going in with a few friends on a case to save a few $$$.
