Please forgive the audio quality on this episode. It was a party after all. Tiki Caliente 13 finally arrived and is now in the rear view mirror. The crew from ZTL was in attendance (except for the reclusive Pumpkin) and we enjoyed every minute of the four day weekend. On day 1 we pulled Rory Snyder up to the mic while experiencing the grand opening of Le Fern. Rory shared some of the backstory on opening his newest bar location at the world famous Caliente Tropics. Over the course of the interview you can hear the patrons of Le Fern having a great time ordering the daily sloshy and classic 70’s cocktails. Rory also shares some background on Sanchos’ the New Mexican joint on property, plus why we will NEVER see the old Cellar location reopened. Listen to the first 30 minutes of this episode to hear Sunshine, Rory and Starshine shoot the breeze and take jabs at each other all in good fun.  Also on this episode we sit down with Bryan Azorsky of Tiki Bar T-Shirt Club. Its been almost 7 years since we first starting talking about the great shirts from the club and now we finally get to meet Bryan in person. The interview includes some nice info about Bryan’s past endeavors and the making of Tiki Bar T-Shirt Club as we know it now. Bryan has an interesting past working in many capacities and interest, Sunshine was all ears for the story behind this cool Guy. BTW, have you ever wanted to know how you can find a club shirt that you didn’t catch the first time? Listen to this interview for details plus some cool driving stories.  Over the years we have come to the conclusion that talking to you about the various room parties during the tiki weekend events isn’t the best approach. The picture below give you a small taste of what you can expect when hopping from hotel room to hotel room over the weekend. Themes this year were varied and quite fun. One moment you are having your tiki trinkets appraised and the next you might be watching a belly dancer while sipping a strong cocktail. Every team that opens their door for the room crawl is appreciated for their hospitality and effort.                                      Sancho’s is now OPEN at the Caliente Tropics. Currently the restaurant is serving breakfast/brunch and lunch but will offer dinner in the future. The current menu offers something for everyone, meat eater or not. The plates are large and priced reasonably. The house margarita is a great place to start your adventure. Starshine says DON”T MISS the Michelada. We must say that in typical Mexican restaurant fashion we were seated quickly and food arrived fast. Great service.              Whats a Fern Bar? Great question. Our interview with Rory Snyder will help explain that in his own words without us adding our own commentary. Le Fern is a good size location with a very nice ambiance created by lots of dark woods and ambient lighting. You can really get out of the sun and heat of Palm Springs when visiting Le Fern. The bar offers a daily “sloshy” drink and each one we dried was worth the tasting. This is just one of three food and beverage locations at the Caliente Tropics also including The Reef and Sancho’s Restaurant. Try them all.
