We were wondering what the huge buzz about Starbuck's new Pike Place roast was yesterday at he office... so we sent out Mahalo Guide Lon (aka MERLon) to check out the insane crowds at Starbucks.
Also: Tyler is working on details for the search for Veronica's replacement. Right now we're looking for someone to pair with Lon Harris and lot of folks have been speculating on the next host being one of the amazing talents out there including Posh, iJustine, Christina Warren, and MostlyLisa. Long and short of it we're thinking of having an open call combined with letting some of the more familiar names host some shows. Details will be on Mahalo Daily: subscribe to the Mahalo YouTube Channel and the Mahalo Daily iTunes feed.

(Page 1 of 1)2. +1 @ Ron. Besides, I can't take any of the other co-hosts you mentioned seriously and I never really considered Maholo as a site that pandered to the frat-boy crowd.

3. I second Ron's post. Lon is a great host. We need more beards on video.

4. Great vid. A lot easier to watch than a Scoble-cast.
Pikes Place Roast is the best. 2x better than Verona and 10x better than Sumatra.

5. i agree. a hot chick would just cramp Lons' style. but if you have to.... that Mostly Lisa's pretty cool I guess.

7. Lon is great. I agree that he can host on his own. Forget the the Pike Place Roast--Casa Cielo is the bomb.

1. Honestly, Lons is so entertaining I really don't know if you guys even need another host. This episode was great. He has a special humor to him.
