Official Plastic Paradise Documentary Thread - General Tiki

They might have appreciated tiki, but the rockabilly crowd en mass didn't really hit the the tiki event thing until fairly recently. I remember being at those early events going, 'Why aren't more rockabillies at these things??' I was always the youngest guy in the early days too… It's all changed (for the better in my opinion). Watched the show this weekend. It was interesting. Edited thought: That isn't to say that rockabillies weren't into collecting tikis and mugs and stuff during the revival, they just weren't really showing up at the events or finding their way to Tiki Central yet.
