I just stumbled upon a great website last night, that to the best of my knowledge hasn't been mentioned on Tiki Central before. It's a huge archive of film, music, text and software, free for all to use.
This could be a great opportunity for anyone with decent Tiki footage/clips to have a way of sharing them with the rest of TC via http://www.archive.org.

Here's the first thing I downloaded (Tiki Bar TV):

Many TC'ers will cringe at the mention of Buffett, the use of tequila-based drink as their recipe, etc etc, but it gives a good idea of what's acceptable.

Check out what Tiki Central looked like back in 2002:

Download a full movie with a Tiki bar scene:

Watch some fine black and white hula action:

No doubt there's all kinds of stuff there waiting to be discovered but it would be even better if we contributed.
