Inside: Lots more pics of the Lucky Tiki Bar, with Kevin Kidney's Logo Tiki (which was carved by Tikifille), "El B Tiki" details, an article by Doug Nason on Tiki's origins, lotsa babes in Tiki surroundings, AND a splendid article by our very own Kailuageoff on Frances Langford's Outrigger Restaurant: With detailed research Geoff pulls together the influences of 30s and 40s movies, radio and literature on Polynesian Pop and how they led to the building of the Outrigger Restaurant. The rise and fall of the Outrigger paralells the evolution and decline of Polynesian Pop down to it's "Buffetization" at the end. I wish this kind of urban archeology would be applied to more of the remaining unresurrected Tiki temple histories, creating unwritten chapters of the Book of Tiki. What is unfortunate though is, that despite Geoff supplying a stack of paper ephemera and images, very few made it into the article. I fear that the lack of visual incentive might keep this story an insider's enjoyment, fully read only by the already motivated. I hope to see more of what was not used in these pages.
