As part of our Savage Renewal Project, we're proposing a tiki exercise I think you'll all enjoy -- Savage Renewal: Archaeology. Here's how it works: Pick something relating to tiki that intrigues you. Post about it. Well, duh. That's what we do all the time. So let's go a little deeper... Don't let all the words in this post scare you -- this is super easy, and anyone can do it. In fact, the more people do it, the better it will be. Instructions for Savage Renewal: Archaeology A-C - Saturday, 9/3 First, pick something specific, and from midcentury Polynesian Pop. Look through your collection, and find an item that intrigues you. Maybe it's something you want to know a little more about, maybe it's just something you like a lot and want to share. Not a collector? Pick a tropical cocktail, album, an old restaurant. Pick something you saw in the Book of Tiki, or in Tiki Road Trip, or Tiki Quest. Now, take that item, and do a search on Tiki Central to see if it's been discussed before. If it has -- don't pick a different item! Find an old thread, and post on it. If you learned something new by looking at that old thread, it's probably something that other people would learn from, too--so let's bring it back to the surface. Add whatever you know, or your thoughts on what others have discussed, or questions that haven't been addressed. If it hasn't been discussed on Tiki Central before, start a new thread. Tell us what you know, invite others to chime in with what they know. Try to pick something specific, and try to pick something that hearkens back to Tiki's midcentury roots. What if you really, honestly can't think of something you'd like to post? What if you're new? Your participation in Savage Renewal: Archaeology doesn't stop with kick-starting discussion about tiki. Ready... set... dig! |

I agree! I've already heard some teasers of what a few people are planning for their Savage Renewal: Archaeology post, and I think there's some really exciting stuff coming. So... it's Saturday! If your username falls between A and C in the alphabet, please consider how you can contribute to the Savage Renewal: Archaeology project. Again, if you miss your day, or the day your username falls into doesn't work for you, don't let it hold you back, post when it works for you. To kick things off, I've posted a Savage Renewal post here: http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=7676&forum=5&start=last&12 I'll do another one on "H" day, but I wanted to demo it for folks. I picked the Trader Vic's seahorse, which I must admit I initially thought was kinda boring -- it'd been covered, I wasn't that interested in it -- I almost switched to a different item. But then, I realized I had questions, and when I started trying to find the answers, I had more questions... and now I don't think that mug is quite so boring anymore. My post sounds a little like when my brother was four years old and would decide it was Curious Day. I learned something new by going through the exercise, and it'd be neat if someone might have the answers to my questions. Give Savage Renewal a whirl! |

Those are beauts! However, please make your Savage Renewal: Archaeology post either in an existing thread (that brings great old discussions back to the surface), or in a new thread if it hasn't been discussed before (that'll let discussion stay on the topic of your item). I'm afraid that if they get posted here in this thread, we'll end up with umpteen conversations stepping all over each other. Plus, that'll make future searches for information relating to your item much easier. |

I think Savage Renewal: Archaeology is a good idea. Sometimes I need a gentle kick in the butt to get moving. I think if it weren't for deadlines I never would have finished a paper in college. I might not reach a PC on Thursday, so I did my Savage Renewal project today, in "Tiki Music." It's not all that long on detail, but I'll keep poking away at it and maybe someone can contribute more. Much is known about the famous figures in mid-century Exotica, Hawaiian, etc. music, but I was only able to find "outlines" on Eddie Lund. But very interesting outlines they were! It seems he lived a very fascinating life, very much the stuff of real-life Poly-Pop fantasy. It's a bit superficial, for now at least, but here it is: |

Nope! The days aren't a hard & fast rule, just a guide, a "kick in the butt", as Thomas said. If you missed your day, or if your day doesn't work with your schedule, feel free to post on a different day. We have more Savage Renewal projects waiting in the wings, but we'll space them out further than one a week. If you've got ideas for future Savage Renewal projects, feel free to post them on the Savage Renewal thread! |

Krustiki and I spent a long afternoon at the Bahooka restaurant last Saturday. We had a great meal, a few drinks, took pictures, and listened to stories about the Bahooka from Stacy the bartender. (Hey it was a tough job, but somebody's gotta do it). We added the story and our pictures to the Bahooka thread in the Locating Tiki forum here (edit to add link) [ Edited by: ookoo lady 2005-09-08 07:17 ] |

I think this is a great idea Humuhumu. I've been wanting to share an exiting purchase I recently made at an estate sale, but was out of town a lot lately and too busy to scan it. I can't post it today but I hope to get around to it this weekend. |

Or..... if you don't want to dig through the ancient posts, then please go back through your own posts and re-link your photos. I know many of my photo links have died.... and I'm gonna do something about it. |

How about an in-house photo-library, not out-linked to Photobucket-type sites? Hell, I'd buy an extra grand membership to help defray costs! But yeah - great idea! I'm in. |

Hanford made an in-house image service ages ago! (Well, "ages" in internet time, for the rest of the world the time would be measured in months, I think.) The next time you're making a post, check out the snazzy, oh-so-handy "Add Images To Your Post" link below the big ol' text box. Hanford created that exactly because of this other-sites-are-lame-and-unreliable issue. |
