SEPY DOBRONYI presents:
RAPA NUI
(Easter Island)
EXPEDITION
1968

In 1968, Baron Joseph “Sepy” Dobronyi joined the New York Explorers Club for a trip to one of the world’s most remote islands, Rapa Nui (Easter Island.) He brought with him his 16mm camera to capture the mysterious stone monuments that litter the barren, volcanic landscape. Part documentary, and part travelogue, this films covers the entire island’s topography.

Dobronyi’s interview with Father Sebastian, the Franciscan Monk who lived on and studied the culture of Rapa Nui from 1935 until his death in 1969, gives keen insight into the life and demise of the amazing culture that chiseled, moved and erected 10 ton statues from volcanic rock. Father Sebastian catalogued the 700 statues on the island and is credited as having provided the technical details for this film.

Dobronyi narrates the expedition and the background soundtrack is wonderful field recordings of native music, and features performances of traditional dance.

Color, 32 minutes.
Digital transfer from the original 16mm print.

Hi Everybody - Tiki Oasis is just about here and we are looking for anyone that can play a horn - trumpet, trombone, tuba or flute that can help us out with a number for about 10-15 minutes on Friday. If you can, and you are interested in having a blast and being part of a history making moment please get hold of me through this thread.

Thanks,

Jim Giddings

Jim,
I know a few gals that do a good job at blowing a skin flute. Probably no help at all.

Mr Smiley, I had no idea you were going to be at TO! Ok, now I'm excited. :D

Anybody coming to Tiki Oasis from the NYC area be sure to stop by the Painkiller Tiki Bar Monday 8/16 for our Tiki Oasis Send-Off Night!

A sneak peek at some of the new Tiki Necklaces I'll have at Oasis! Lots of one-off colors!
These babies are over 3" tall and 1 1/2" wide!

See you all there!

We hope to see some of you at our symposium Friday morning at 10:00!

"Beautiful Girls That Live Like Fish: The Story of Aquarama"

We've been working with the family that created Aquarama and have unearthed original video, audio and photographs that haven't been seen in over 40 years! We've also got other surprises in store including our special guest Marina the Fire Eating Mermaid who will answer all of your mermaid questions.

More details on our Facebook page here:

See you soon!

Jeff & Kelly

I'm the Symposium Mangler again this year, and I usually make up a list of the entire Tiki Oasis in chronological order. This helps me in missing everything important and ducking out of sight, hiding at the bottom of the pool when there's work to do.

BUT HERE'S THE DEAL - Most of the drinking symposiums are now marked "Sold Out".

DO NOT WORRY. People sign up but are too blotto to actually show up. We've had as many as 10-20 extra seats for every seminar, no matter how popular. So I'll have an extra line, the "Will Call" line of first come, first served people who want to get in but didn't get tickets in time.

Last year we got everybody in who wanted in. Just show up with the correct amount of cash for the ticket and we'll seat you last, there were even 2 empty front row seats last year for Martin's seminars, for instance. But I ain't promising anything.

And here's the giant master list of every event in order, you can copy and print, whatever. Tell me if I've made any mistakes with the dates. Aloha kids, and see ya there.

Don't Forget! There are Trophies at Oasis for....

The Best Party Room
Coolest Vendor Booth
Most Swanky Dressed ( This one is for the best Formal get up.)
Best Tiki Style outfit
and the Kool and Krazy Kid award

So, go all out People!

I believe The Hula Girls are playing the swing dance party on FRIDAY night and not Saturday night.

Correct - After hours entertainment on Friday is the Hula Girls Swing Party, Saturday it's the Thrillville Movie Night, probably because NOBODY is gonna be able to walk, let alone dance, after 10:00 Saturday!

We also partner with the Comfort Inn which is just past the Hungry Hunter steakhouse (highly recommended for old school eating). This is on the same side as Crowne Plaza and would be less than a ten minute walk to Crowne Plaza.

On Google Maps, it looks like the Comfort Inn is on the opposite side of the freeway from the Crowne Plaza...am I missing something?

Thanks!

Some fun ceramic art for Oasis 10, We don't want to take much space on the Oasis thread, So check out our thread here from time to time, As we will be posting pictures of some of the stuff we are selling --------> http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=24254&forum=18&start=480&503 Look at pages #33 - 34

Cheers! Gogo and Dani ( Go Tiki )

due to the tickets selling out, and just finances in general, I just gave up my room at the Kings Inn, if anyone needs a room with 2 beds, I just called like 10 min. ago, and you can probably steal it! It was about 220 dollars for the weekend, 20th-22nd!

For all those who did not get a Munktiki Tiki Oasis 10 event mug don't fret!
There will be plenty available for sale on Friday night Aug 20th. Buy as many as you want. If you cant make it to the event get your friends to pick you up a mug/chalice. There will be absolutely NO mail order though. Its only available at the event!

Here's a question to ponder--if you're too blotto to show up for a drinking symposium, the chances are when you wake up the next morning you'll probably assume you indeed did attend the symposium anyway (or a facsimile thereof).

Whoo! I'll be in line Friday night!

Baby Doe, could you please post a vendor map?

"Here's a question to ponder--if you're too blotto to show up for a drinking symposium, the chances are when you wake up the next morning you'll probably assume you indeed did attend the symposium anyway (or a facsimile thereof)."

Or - you could just get blotto at a cheap fleabag hotel local to you and pretend you went to the entire Oasis and had a great time.

But believe me, it ain't the same. This is gonna be a BIG %#@*&%! Oasis.

Just cancelled a Thursday 8/19 thru Monday 8/23 reservation at Comfort Inn across the street (hwy) from Crowne Plaza. We're staying at the Plaza.

What are the themes for Friday and Saturday? I'm picking out my outfits!

I would think that Friday = Tiki outfit and Saturday = Tiki outfit; if there are such things, but in general, there's not....so, I would guess that it means that anything applies. Therefore, that would mean, Fri. and Sat., are a Tiki-based themes, and that it is that, and you wear accordingly, Tiki accoutrements, carry an empty container, and also, you party and tour around and drink. I think that about covers it for Fri. and Sat. Dig?

In terms of dress... really anything works at Tiki Oasis!

ON Saturday night we are encouraging folks to dress up - we will have our annual costume contest and we have awards for: Most Swanky Dressed and Best Tiki Style outfit... so if you want to go all out that can be an option for you!!

Hope that helps!

You don't need to sell your soul or be sacrificed to a Tiki God in some crazy ritual, just...

Volunteer at Tiki Oasis!

Every year about this time the tropical winds blow some of our volunteers off course and there are cancellations, changes and sometimes new volunteer opportunities just appear out of nowhere!

The Volunteer Hut just has new shifts available and volunteers get a free weekend pass!

TIKI OASIS! Where else can you work a few hours a day, meet everyone at the party and drink on the job! For those that remember last year, YOU NO DRINK E'NUF MAI TAI, BRAH! I think we all had fun.

Every year volunteers tell me they had even a better time volunteering because of all the cool people you meet. First come first served!

Here's what to do:

1. join our facebook group. that's how we communicate with all the volunteers.
   http://bit.ly/TOVolunteers

Arrived at the Crown Plaza today. Got a great room location. We are hosting a Room Crawl/Welcome Wagon Thursday, 4 p.m, rm.1729. Serving "Ginger's Island" this year. Look for the Purple Orchid Tiki Lounge banner.

Hey Everyone!

As some of you know, I can't make the even this year, but I am sending my best Aloha wishes along with a few velvet paintings! My work will be available in the vendor's market courtesy of Hodadhank at the Freaky Boutiki booth. :) I wish you all the best Oasis yet and wish I could be there!

If you want to see pictures, I'm doing a mini-preview of my pieces this week on my "Other Crafts" thread here: http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=26675&forum=18&start=120&125

Have a great time!

The Vintage Roadside wagon is loaded up for Tiki Oasis! If you spot us along the way (we're the ones that look like modern-day Joad's from The Grapes of Wrath) give us a wave! Just a short 1100 mile drive and we'll be there.

We hope to see some of you at our Aquarama symposium - also stop by our booth and say hello.

Oh, and we hope you enjoy the bit of history we've tucked into the gift bags. You'll be among the first in 40+ years to see it!

I purchased two tickets to the Pinup Makeup and Hair class because I missed out last year. Now I hear this is included in the VIP pass, which I purchased. Anyone interested in buying them from me? Or, is there any way to get a refund?

Hey Kris,

Email Babydoe (you can find her email address in the Member List) & explain your situation. I did the same thing you did & she refunded me immediately.
