Uhhh...due to unforeseen circumstances I will only be vending from 12:00 to 2:59 p.m. outside tomorrow (most of my stuff usually sells in the first three hours anyway)...but you know where to find me if you want something signed. Maybe I vend a little from 4:00 - 7:00 again...depending on the condition I am in :) |

Thanks to all who Joined our inaugural Rum Rhum Club! We had an amazing turnout, we tasted 6 Lemon Hart rums, 3 of which were vintage with the 2 oldest being from the 60's and 70's. Future Rum Rhum Club meetings will be on our Exotica Sundays unless we have a special guest Like Martin Cate. Martin will Be with us on Wednesday May 9th. 6pm he will be doing a symposium on Rums. We will also have a tasting. Tickets are limited and will be offered to Rum Rhum Club Members and Drooling Bastard members first, Then we will open it up. If you are interested, please email me at exny1@aol.com Thank you all again for coming! Amy [ Edited by: Queen Kamehameha 2012-04-02 13:23 ] [ Edited by: Bora Boris 2012-04-02 13:51 ] |

Bummed we missed the inaugural meeting of the Rum Rhum Club (I certainly didn't see any Lemon Hart in Mammoth). Perhaps there's space for a couple more "enjoyers of rum" before the next meeting? :D kevin |

Carol and I really wanted to be there early enough for the meeting on Saturday too, but it was not to be. Based on the photos, it looks like a good-sized group was on hand. So if the next meeting of the Rum Rhum Club is Wednesday, May 9 will Kirby's Rumpus Room still be open afterwards to provide triage for survivors? (an honest self-assessment would reveal that I can't be THAT ambitious on a weeknight anyway...) See you at Tonga Hut! |

It sure was a nice break away from the up and down weather outside. Here are some of the members reacting in various degrees to the joy juice at hand: But I must confess that in the very first meeting, it was shown to me that I wuz a wuss: While I am an avid rum sipper at home, and used to high octane spirits from Germany (STROH Rum), to have 4 (four!) 151 rums in a row to taste was too strong medicine for this patient, who tucked in his tail. And I wish I never would have sipped the NEW 151 Lemonhart, because it tasted like Nyquil compared to the earlier, especially the vintage versions. It might be OK for mixing, but by itself, naah. So I learned those two things from this meeting....plus the whole Lemonhart history, which was printed and handed out by Amy, Thank You! |

Awesome evening of rhum and rum. Thanks to Martin Cate for an awesome presentation. I always look forward to your Tiki Oasis presentations and this was just as informative. And thanks to everyone who put the event...passports, water, rums, snacks and everything else. I was so into the presentation I took exactly 0 pictures. But I'm positive photographic evidence is coming. Unfortunately Val and I had to call it an early evening, but we had a great time while we were there. Thanks again, kevin -- [ Edited by: heylownine 2012-05-09 22:36 ] |

Ok June 29th at 6pm the next meeting of the Rum Rhum Club! We have a special guest, I will update later today. We will be discussing and tasting Boutique and Hard to find Rums. On a side note, I have tried unsuccessfully to do this on a consistent day. The issue is our guests have full schedules so I take what is convenient for them, When we do just vintage rums, we will do them on Sunday Exotica Nights. Thank you Amy Our Special Guest is Forrest Cokely Forrest Cokely Bio [ Edited by: Bora Boris - Fixed a typo. - 2012-06-21 10:06 ] [ Edited by: Queen Kamehameha 2012-06-21 11:08 ] |
