Get THE classic Tiki Archeology DVD for Christmas -ON SALE

Pages: 1 2 59 replies

For you or for a friend, this DVD provides Tiki goodness for all. I am offering it myself this Christmas, personally signed by moi, for the solid price of $20.- For that, you get all this:

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 razed), 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.

PART 3: "DON TIKI MUSIC VIDEO: An Occasional Man" -shot at La Mariana Sailing Club, Honululu


The late Anette Nahinu welcomes you to her club

The disc is imprinted with this smashing Tiki Christmas image from the Mai Kai:

I just got a bunch of orders in from this post getting bumped up to the top. I was gonna wait with bumping it because I am in Berlin right now, for one week. But I will get back home on Sunday the 13th, and will send out the new orders that Monday, so you should be getting them by mid-week next week.

Mahalo und Dankeshoen, Sven

Even though I am a bit under the weather, seeing that others had received their orders, I made a trip to the post office and picked up my yesterday.

I will watching it today after work, but a special thanks to bigbro for the extras and for getting it out before the trip. Ami says hello and thanks for the words, no worries!

Thanks again,

PTD

Glad to hear.
I will get back home Sunday, then Monday/Tuesday I will send out the remaining orders. In case anybody else wants some Tiki-ology on DVD, paypal me 20 clams now, and their DVD will go out with the rest of the batch. :)

Done! Thanks Sven. Next book please..

I really enjoyed this DVD. I wish you had a weekly Poly Pop TV Show along these lines.

Thanks David. Well, so far, it's right here on TC! :)

Watched the DVD last night and loved it. Now I'm no "preservationist," but the shark gives it a big finz up. You should definitely do more of these. I'd sign up for your vidcast.

A great companion to The Book Of Tiki and in a perfect world it would have been included in the inner cover (Maybe in the 10th anniversary edition this year (hint hint).), the Playboy After Dark clip is worth the price and watching Danny Balsz haunting The Tikis looks like an outtake from Plagues & Pleasures on the Salton Sea Documentary.

When I saw The Don Tiki bonus video I almost feel out of my chair when I realized I went to high school with the bartender in the sequence.

Not as late as me obviously...note to self...visit Tiki Central more often in 2010 moron! Can you let me know the shipping to good ol' blighty Sven and I'll PayPal the dosh right away. I'm hooking up with some other tiki nuts tonight at Trader Vic's so I'll let 'em in on the act! I've had a time coded copy of Air Conditioned Eden for years, it'd be good to see it again on this new fangled technology. Mahalo Nui!

Take care - Trader Jim (Make mine a Mai-Tai!).

Has the price changed or is it the same?
Thank You

Sorry you two, but I just sent out the last of this batch, and am all out for now. Will let you know when I get the next one in.

Please do, thank you.

I also decided to make TIKI MODERN available, with any inscription you would like, just write to me what it shall be.

I cannot compete with Amazon, so it will be 35.- bucks, and because it is such a BRICK of a book, I will have to charge 5.- bucks for shipping domestically, so $40.-will do it. Signed. sealed and delivered. Well actually, I'll have to break the Saran wrap seal to sign it. :)
