Swanky,

You had me at "Mai Kai History"!

The show is going to be awesome. Unfortunately, I won't be there (Mojave Oasis instead). How about a producing a video of the presentation?? I'd buy one.

Good luck, it is sure to be smashing.

DC,

I'd love to do a video, but I am told you can't shoot a screen like that. However, if someone out there wants to work on that, I'm all for combining the presentation graphics with the live presentation and some Mai-Kai footage into a video...

BTW, that billborad was by David Stevens, who went on to do some very awesome billboards around the country. I would not be surprised if he wasn't behind the Kahiki winking billboard as well.

He did various projects at the Mai-Kai of the "set design" type. He was tasked with making fake rocks that hid the lights used in the gardens and waterfalls. He made copies of the massive turtle shells on the walls that were so perfect, the Thornton brothers could not tell the real one from his fakes.
