Wow what a show! They even gave out these great one page movie cards with the original poster of "Kon Tiki" on the front and the back is full of movie facts and trivia. Before the film they showed clips of the 1952 Oscar Awards and showed "Kon Tiki" winning the Oscar. Of course they didn't really want to hear a speech from a "documentary" maker so they gave out the award and that was it. Bob Hope was the host that year. The movie was great, as were the other films shown with it. Tiki Tony and Markus from Adrift Clothing were there, Jeff "Beachbum" Berry came with Kevin Kidney and Jodey Daily (designers of Disney's Tiki Room collectables line) Hope you all can make it to the next one.
