“Doctor Z's Castaway Lounge Annual Summer Spectacular” Saturday, July 31!! 7/28 UPDATE, with a bit more details: Sabu (Master Of Coal and Flame) has graciously agreed to be at the grill once again, cookin’ his famous marinated coconut ti-leaf chicken & shrimp skewers, and (naturally) Doctor Z will be behind the bar, makin’ the best Mai Tai’s, Beachbum’s Own’s & Navy Grog’s you’ll EVER have! PLUS: The Castaway Lounge is proud to feature not only TikiBird’s award-winning Mango Tiki home brew, but his sensational Summer Lager - both on tap!! But that’s not all! By popular demand, we will again be featuring “Doctor Z’s Tiki Arts & Crafts!” Once again, I’ve made plenty of plaster-cast “Ku” masks (yeah, the same ones that are selling for up to $15.00 each on eBay, like these, but unpainted. And free.) that YOU – in your inebriated state – will be able to paint YOURSELF and take home to keep and cherish for ever and ever. And ever. I’ll provide the masks, the paints, the brushes, you provide the inspired creativity! Oh, one thing, however: it’s BYOB (Bring Your Own Brown) - the watercolor paint kits I have don’t have brown paint! A few folks brought their own brown last year and I still have some left over (but not much), so if you have your own paints, you’re welcome to bring them! And of course, prizes will be given out to the ‘best’ masks… But wait – there’s more! For all you amateur and professional mixologists, we will once again feature “The Castaway Lounge Guest Bartender, starring YOU”! As ‘at home’ as I am behind the bar, I don’t really want to be stuck there ALL night, so if you have a signature drink you’ve been itching to mix for folks to sample, take a ‘guest spot’ behind the bar. I’ll have most of your standard alcohols & mixers, but if your recipe requires a certain special sumthin’ (Lychee nuts? Kava?), you gonna hafta bring it yourself! I'm sure most TC’ers are more than happy to serve as guinea pigs for most things. Looks like TikiPug, Hanalei Pirate, PiPhiRho & Kick_the_Reverb have already claimed ‘shifts’, but there’s still room for YOU! Sadly, Sabu’s Vintage Boutique will not be held this year. However, if you have any vintage clothes, mugs, artwork, carvings, or whateva that you’d like to sell or trade (or simply show off – are ya listening, TikiHula??) bring it on over anyhow! I’ll set up a table or two, ‘cause there’s nothing like a little wheelin’ and dealin’ with the ohana, and you might leave with something nice (or some $$!) I haven’t had much response for a drink contest, so it looks like we’ll put that on the back burner for now… Speaking of burners, things will kick-off a bit earlier this year: the grill will be good to go from about 1:00 on if you want to come early & bring something for lunch, and Sabu will take over around 5-ish. The bar will be open all afternoon and all night! Donations never required but never refused!! NOTE: I can NOT make any assurances of mass "clothing-exchanging" or "classic-rock-by-request ukelele jams" - that kinda stuff just 'happens', doncha know... Any questions (like “Where can we spend the night?”), drop me a line!! If you were there last year, we'd love to see you again, and if you've never been to The Castaway Lounge - where ya been? Directions: 1303 S. Helberta Avenue, Redondo Beach. From the 405, exit at Hawthorne Blvd. Take Hawthorne south and make a RIGHT on Torrance Blvd. From Torrance Blvd., make a LEFT on Palos Verdes Blvd. After a mile or so, make a LEFT at the first stop sign after Prospect; which is Helberta. The Castaway Lounge is in the second house on the right, with the torches burning in the front yard... :drink: :drink: :drink: :drink: :drink: :drink: :drink: :drink: :drink: :drink: :drink: :drink: :drink: :drink: :drink: :drink: :drink: :drink: :drink: :drink: Doctor Z [ Edited by: Doctor Z on 2004-07-28 15:01 ] |

Sorry I haven't been checking posts for a few days. I will definitely be grilling my spicy coconut chicken for Doctor Z's party and probably some form of shrimp as well. I can't guarantee a vintage boutique this year - it took a few years to build up the stock that I gave away last year - but we'll have to see what I find at the garage and estate-sales over the next month. I had a great time at Doctor Z's last year. Tikibelle and I can't wait to see you all there this year. Thanks for hosting this, Z. Sabu |

Just another late update: Kick_the_Reverb has volunteered for a Guest Bartender shift, making his renowned "Reverb Crash" (although the "Combover" has my curiosity piqued...), and TikiBird will now have not one but two homebrews on tap: the Mango Tiki Ale (yep, the same one you had at Tiki Oasis IV - the same one that was recently awarded a white ribbon from the Orange County Fair!) and a Summer Lager, both served from his 'Tiki Beer Hut' (featuring custom made Benzart & MonkeyMan tap handles)!! RocknRollGirl – I’ve got the mold I promised waitin' for you! Hope to see you and Son Of Mothra (and to check out your candles!) You didn't really want to go to that reunion anyhow... did you? TikiFrogs - Yow! All the way from France? 8:00? 9:00? 11:00? You're welcome to come by anytime! Many Hoity Toity's are notorious night-owls... |

I'm gettin' danged excited, too! I'm going to try to wear a natty new tiki outfit that tikicleen brought for me at Tiki-Ti last Wednesday, but it may be too painful. It'll be worth it, though! I'm going to be doing another Aloha Wear Release to The Wild. I'm bringing all the aloha wear that didn't find a new home at Oasis, plus a number of new things I've picked up since. It'll work just like Oasis: these are gifts, not for trade and not for $$; I won't hold an item until you arrive, it's first come, first get; and you have to try the item on and it has to fit you without alteration--if it doesn't, you've gotta leave it because it'll fit someone else. I'm going to be in Reverb Crash heaven.
