On this episode we share drinks and stories at The Hale Kahiki located in Echo Park, California. The Hale Kahiki is the home tiki bar space of Alan Smart and Michael Uhlenkott. If you're a fan of Spongebob Squarepants then you are a fan of Alan's work. He's the animation director for that show! And his partner Michael Uhlenkott is an artist and graphic designer who's work you've probably seen or purchased on sites such as Spoonflower. We're also joined by another "Michael" -- Michael Hanttula. He's the creator of the Tiki Bar Name Generator. A fun, slot-machine styled application that's strangely addictive. Google it and see for yourself!

I hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did bringing it to you. This podcast is a grass roots effort so I appreciate all the love and support you've given us recently. I can't thank you enough for that! With that said, sit back, relax and enjoy this recording with Alan, Michael and Michael direct to you from The Hale Kahiki.
