    ZTL 492 A Pack of Coyotes And Piña Coladas Make For a Fun Time At The Charity Event, And Don't Flush Butt Wipes

    Dawn Marie commands you to win up Sunshines version of a Piña Colada, the Sunshine Colada. After that you are free to enjoy the podcast. This episode our listener mail asks: Is there a recommended maximum number of Zombies a responsible tiki enthusiast at an event. Is there an official rule about how many cocktails umbrellas you can put on one drink? What’s one item that instantly makes a backyard tiki area feel more tiki that people overlook? Upcoming Tiki Events and Happenings: You have heard all of us talk about missing Don the Beachcomber after it closed its only mainland location that was located in Huntington/Sunset Beach. Don’s Ohana Reunion 2 Dallas Tiki Week May 17 - 24, 2026. We have not attended this event but had a few listeners say it was fun last year. This is the second year of the event and the line up is intriguing. Its mostly intriguing because the website still has last years info but the instagram page is current. If you attend, consider recording a voice memo on your phone and sending to us at mail@zentikilounge.com. Be our unpaid intern correspondent. The Tiki Bar at Excalibur Easy Sailor Rochester NY

    46 Flashback "The First ZTL Holiday Podcast"

    Go back to December of 2006 when Sunshine and Pumpkin recorded our first Holiday episode of ZTL. The audio wasn’t as good back then, and Sunshine did some rough editing back in the day. For those of you who ask for those old episodes, here it is.

  7. 126 Flashback "Beam Me Up Tiki"

    126 Flashback "Beam Me Up Tiki"

    An apology for all the unnecessary sound effects, but Pumpkin learned how to use the sound buttons. Listening to this episode all these years later makes it clear how far we have come. References to our myspace fans and the newness of twitter sounds nuts nowadays. Also out of date is our Las Vegas recommendations. Several of our top picks are long gone. Farwell to the Mirage volcano and Parasol Down to name a few.
