We gathered for the 51st episode. Since we are having as special anniversary next
week, we bumped up our what’s happening in Portland show. To start out he month, the Portland Seafood and Wine Festival will be in town the 1st & 2nd. Mills is looking forward to the Mardi Gras Ball on the 9th. The biggest
Football game of year the is happening for Sean on the 3rd. His San Francisco 49ers will be playing the Baltimore
Ravens. So We all make our picks. Following up on the sports topic, the College
Football National Signing Day, the Beavers and the Duck’s will have a Dinner
for their Donors to show off the new recruit. The triumphant return of Zwickelmania is the
16th. Sean and Lance will
participate again with a vigor. Like
most months, there are concerts going on that Lance won’t be attending, however
Sean, Mills, and Berg seem to find it interesting and a potential good time. We can’t do one of these shows without
breaking down what movies will be coming out. There is some good stuff happening in February, get out there and enjoy
the city.
It’s Decembeard and the boys have already got the facial
hair growing. Sean manages to pull off one of his better ninja starts, mid
scotch talk. This being the first show of the month, we spend the show; well
most of it, talking about what is happening in the Portland area over the
course of the next month. We get the discussion started with an impromptu
planning session for a Taco Tiki Tuesday ugly sweater party. Contact us if you
would like to join. Lance makes sure to note that the brand new Portland Aquarium
will be opening up early December, right by his house…in Portland. Sean &
Berg then break down the concert scene for the month; see the list below for
links to buy your tickets. The holiday season has arrived and people have been
putting up their Christmas lights. If you’re lazy like us, don’t want to be
Clark Griswold, and just want to go see other people’s lights, Lance gives a
run down of some places to see beautiful light displays. December 4th
and 5th is the Tarantino Festival, which gets us started on some
movies to check out during December and even a “Casey Movie Pick”. Also on
December 4th is the premier awards show of the year…Portland’s 3rd
Annual Strippies! We encourage you to get out and about this month and tell us
all about it.
And, if you have anything you’d like to promote for January, let
us know by emailing us at TacoTikiTuesday@gmail.com
November is upon us here at Taco Tiki Tuesday. That means we
have a slew of events happening in Portland and some upcoming movies
nationwide. Of course the election is happening today, so Beg and Sean discuss
where we are in the race and what the possible outcome could be. The newest Tiki Ten has just dropped, so if you haven’t checked it out, do so; it’s full
of folky, autumn goodness. Which leads us in to the local concert scene. We
even have a few shows from bands that are on the Tiki Ten. There are a plethora
of good movies (and a few Casey Movie Picks) coming out this month, including
Skyfall, Lincoln, and Rise of the Guardians. Sean is in full participation of Movember and has included a link to donate to the cause, either anonymously or
on his/Taco Tiki Tuesday’s behalf. As we wrap it up, we squeeze a few cultural
items on our calendar. Of course there are always great exhibits at the
Portland Art Museum, including this month’s "The Body Beautiful". At the Oregon History Museum, there are two exhibits, one on the 50th
anniversary of the Columbus Day Storm and another on local art. OMSI has an
anthropological exhibit called "RACE: Are We So Different?" And finally the
holidays are here, which means “The Worlds Largest Christmas Bazaar” is at the
Expo Center on Thanksgiving weekend. And speaking of Black Friday, that also
happens to be National Record Store Day, which includes a lot of
limited releases that are available that day only. So check out Music Millennium, Everyday Music, Jackpot Records, and Trade Up Music in Portland, and Ranch Records in Salem. To tie it all up, Sean had a seasonal beer sampling at his
house and the winner was Hibernation Ale from Great Divide Brewing Co. So fill
your glass and enjoy a pleasant November.

With the crazy amount of noise from last week’s National
Night Out, we decided to record from the “Library” that is Sean and Tucker’s
living room. However, we are sans Tucker this week. As summer winds down, we
have another Casey Movie Pick! This weekend Premium Rush hits theaters and we
can’t help but wonder, is Joseph Gordon Levitt going to take his shirt off to
make this a legitimate Casey Movie Pick? Lance brings some MLB news in the form
of Melky Cabrera’s 50 game suspension and King Felix’s perfect game (3rd
one in the majors this season). Lance also has a question for all you
listeners…what computer should he get to help with podcasting? Comment with
your suggestions below. Money leaves early, so Lance and Sean dive into the DC
Universe on film and writing in the comic industry. Sean also brings up some
fun things to do in Portland this weekend, starting with Hecklevision at
Hollywood Theater on Friday night. Then on Saturday, Laurelwood Brewery is
having their annual LaurelFest. This is a day full of beer & liquor
tastings, live music, and mini golf. On Sunday, Zach’s Shack on Hawthorne is
hosting their annual Hot Dog Eating Contest with a $5 entry. Summer is nearly
over, what are your plans this weekend?
Mikey Neilson, of Chronicles of the Nerds, joins us on the
podcast this week. The unofficial title of this episode is “Anime Speed Lines”,
as we spin off the rails multiple times on many of nerd topics. The first being
a recent episode of Nerd Fight, which Mikey cohosts, where a topic was brought
forth of Tim Drake vs. Tommy the Green Power Ranger. Tucker discusses his
cancer…but in a fun way, and we find out that he might be interested in getting
a tattoo. What do you think Tucker’s first tattoo should be? We have a Casey
Movie Pick this week as well as a theme song to go along with the segment. This
weeks Casey movie pick is Rock of Ages, and we have a split decision of the
guys that this might be too high brow for our dear Casey to go see, even though
it has Tom Cruise with his shirt off. Which of course spawns Mikey to profess
his love of Tom Cruise. But the real question that is on everyone’s minds is
about the Zombie Apocalypse that is starting to unfold around the world. What
will our boys do? Where would they go? Mikey has a plan. What’s your plan?
This we week we revive a segment that some had thought to be
forgotten, “Name That Shot”. Lance ordered the shot and Sean is still not
drinking, so it’s up to Tucker and Money to deduce the mysterious brown liquid.
And speaking of drinking, Cinco de Mayo was the past weekend, so Professor
Tucker schools us all on the history of this wonderfully American drinking
holiday. The Tiki Boys all went to the cinema over the weekend. Tucker and
Money got VIP tickets to the 7th Annual Lebowski Fest, while Lance
and Sean nerded out watching Avengers. Sean nerded out so hard he even had
convulsions in his seat at the end of the movie. Luckily he didn’t need to be
hospitalized. And while on the topic of cinema, we have another installment of “The
Casey Movie Pick”. That’s right there will be a horribly bad film premiering
this week and no doubt, Casey will want to see it. After seeing Avengers, Sean
got to thinking about super powers. What if he had one, what would he want it
to be? The boys discuss the upsides and downsides to potential super powers.
This week we also have a rousing Round 2 of who will Money set up this mystery
girl with, Lance or Sean. Leave your comments below to help him decide. And don't forget to head over to Facebook and place your vote.
