...that I make my customary DVD offer for the season:

For those who STILL do not have my classic TIKI ARCHEOLOGY dvd in the in their collection, now is the chance:

This delightful journey into Tikiland consists of two videos produced before THE BOOK OF TIKI was published. But since my research had a major influence on the making of them, they visually complement the book nicely.
Expeditions to sites that are now gone, like THE TIKIS and the Playa Del Rey Polynesian Village Apartments, Interviews, and archival footage of people and places mentioned in the book allow the urban archeologist to revisit and discover the sites and sounds of Polynesia Americana:

PART 1 : "THE AIRCONDITIONED EDEN"-25 minutes-

This 1996 documentary was produced and directed by expatriate American Peter Stuart for BBC’s channel 4. The archival footage features highlights such as Martin Denny’s first live performance on the Dinah Shore show. To actually SEE Augie Colon voice those birdcalls is an unforgettable moment (I apologize that my voice over was layed over some of it!). Martin is also interviewed in the film, and we see one of the last interviews with James Michener. -Original footage of the Disneyland Tiki room and the Kon Tiki voyage further document important Tiki moments in history.

PART 2: "HAWAIIAN AIRLINES INFLIGHT VIDEO MAGAZINE" -20 minutes-
This Tiki Tour of Los Angeles was only shown on outbound flights of Hawaiian Airlines in 1999. You get to see my house, my Kon Tiki shirt, lots of Tiki apartments (like the Armet & Davis designed Polynesian Village which is now gone), Bahooka’s Restaurant, and Oceanic Arts in Whittier. Gracious host Miss Hawaii 1998 does not necessarily follow my train of thought, but does a good job stroking the lava rock Vanna White-style.

All this for mere 17.- bucks (+ 3.- bucks shipping)

BUT that is not all! Since I am traditionally strapped during the winter months, I am digging into my personal stash of the now sold out TIKI MODERN, and selling it for the bargain price of 60.- Dollars (+5.- shipping),

...while otherwise such brand new copies of this tome are now sold via Amazon for 100.- dollars and up. Of course these will come signed and if so desired, with a personal dedication.

AAAAAND I also have some "The SOUND of TIKI" cds...

...for $ 18.- that I can sign and send out in combination, or by themselves. GET THE "MISSING CHAPTER" OF THE BOOK OF TIKI!
While TIKI and EXOTICA have lived closely related but parallel lives for all these years, this compilation clearly demonstrates the ties between the two imaginary worlds in word, image and sound.

Your Christmas package could possibly look like this, then:

BUT THAT'S NOT ALL! (Okay, I might be overdoing the market cryer shtick now :) ):

I am also selling 5 TIKI REVIVER MUGS, also signed if so desired, for 20.- dollas plus 5.- shipping a piece.

This grail comes with a recipe insert for the Tiki Reviver cocktail by Jeff Berry:

I am gonna combine shipping for two or more items to $ 10.-, DVD and CD only will be $ 5.-

You do the math and Paypal me the money to [email protected]
Sorry, no shopping cart and no other discounts, this is a one time, one man operation. :)
