Punk Rock! hell yes-o-rama-geddon!

So Spike are you judging the pinup contest?

In the interest of fairness, I am recusing myself from judging the pinup contest.

Hopefully you can make the show, Lance?? It would be good to see ya. Been a long time! And hopefully, Jungle Ginger will want to vend!

This is gonna be a blast!

One week away!!

Hey Everybody!
I'll be DJing in the Dagger Bar before, between and After Outerwave and The Mai Tais.

Jeff BTD

Trophy for 'Best in Show'

Well that was a whirlwind! I have to say that the first ever Hot Rod Luau was a success. There are a lot of things that we'll do to improve it in the future, but for the first one, it went very smoothly. We had live music, non-stop in the Hidden Village and in the Dagger Bars, with DJ's Big Tiki Dude and Mad Matt spinning between sets.

Morning at Thee Hot Rod Luau

Judy Luck and Neva Moore at the merch booth

Buddy Lee of Buddy Lee and the Dungaree Dogs

Great traditional rockabilly from Pat James and the No Names

Wild rockabilly with The Rayford Brothers

Relaxing day of music and fun in The Hidden Village. The trophies are on the table to the left.

Meanwhile, we had a small tattoo art show in the Fugu Room. Certainly something that we would like to build up in the coming years.

Pin-Up photoshoots were happening too!

Some scoots showed up. These are three of the ten or so...

In the afternoon, the car show really filled up!

This guy couldn't believe what he was seeing.

The car show awards were all voted on by the crowd. We had a great response in participation with it.

This 5 window with a flathead motor was the winner of Best HotRod! This photo is actually from the one time that this car showed up at one of my cruise nights. What a coincidence!

Winner of Best Paint AND Best Custom went to this 1960 Impala. Gorgeous and immaculate car.

Winner of Best in Show! Mike Collin's 1954 Cadillac! He also won Best in Show at Tiki Oasis this last year. Tiki loves Cadillacs, I guess.

The Pinup Contest

And the finalists with hostess, Miss Red Dodge

Miss Fae (on the right), won the Miss Don the Beachcomber contest.

Once Agent Orange started up, the room went from fun rockabilly/ country/ and surf to punk rock mayhem.

Me, with DJ Mad Matt, Agent Orange's Mike Palm, and Don the Beachcomber's Emerson

After the show, we headed to Matsu in Huntington Beach for a relaxing after-show meal.

Thanks again, to all of the bands, our two DJs, Big Tiki Dude and Mad Matt, Don Chartier for helping with the cars, Lance, Nancy, and Neva for helping with the merch, our sponsors, Pabst Blue Ribbon, Coruba Rum, and Appleton's Rum, and of course Don the Beachcomber.

Even bigger and better next year. Aloha!
