Transcript

Aloha, and welcome to episode 52 of the Exotic Tiki Island Podcast. I’m your host, Tiki Brian. Get ready to travel back in time to an island paradise located in the South Pacific.

That place is none other than Exotic Tiki Island. And for this episode, you’re in for a real treat, because in this show, I’m going to be playing nothing but Exotica classics that will make the perfect soundtrack for a dark, dimly lit Tiki bar. For this special episode, you may want to listen to the show using your headphones, so you can experience the surround sounds of the dark jungle mixed in with the music.

So get ready to sit back, relax, and travel to Exotic Tiki Island, right after we hear a few words from our sponsors.

It’s almost here, summer that is, and one of the biggest events of the year. You haven’t heard? It’s the 1940s ball event happening June 17th at the Boulder Airport in Colorado.

Join us for an unforgettably magical evening with Frank Sinatra, Bob Hope, Hollywood Satin Dolls, and playing the event for the first time, the world famous Glenn Miller Orchestra. This year’s 1940s Bollie Bend theme is glamorous 1940s Hollywood with an all-new Officers Club VIP lounge. Step into Hollywood’s World War II planes, enjoy a night of dancing with your sweetheart, or maybe even meet one.

Plus, witness World War II plane flybys, vehicles, and reenactors while listening to the most sought after big bands. And be sure to visit our hanger made into Casablanca’s Rick’s Cafe, Americana, with belly dancers, and even a roulette table that attendees can play on. Also, world renowned Bob Hope impersonator, Bill Johnson, along with 1940s cars, an authentic attire contest, swing dance lessons, singles taxi dancing, and a dance contest.

You’ll see swing dancers heat up the dance floor under a canopy of movie set lights while cigarette girls hand out rations. Attendees will have the opportunity to have their photos taken with World War II planes and military vehicles. And be sure to stop by the Tango Tango Club tent or the Cantina tent.

Also, you can enter the 1940s costume contest and dance the night away in a conga line. And to top the night off in grand style, we’ll announce the end of the war with an authentic 1940s radio announcement complete with confetti drop and a huge celebration. It’s all happening Saturday, June 17th at the Boulder Airport in Colorado.

We’ll see you at this year’s 1940s ball event, happening June 17th at the Boulder Airport in Colorado.

The fate of Tiki culture and the world, as if there is a difference, is at stake. Can the man from Tiki and the agents of Aloha save the day and save great tropical cocktails along with it? You can find out August 10th through 13th at Tiki Oasis in San Diego.
