Ha, ha. I crack up imagining Spermy actually saying the words... "I am so looking forward to this magical event !!" But Phillip Roberts might change your Tiki outlook. He changed mine...
And I can't imagine better music to accompany this event than the Smokin' Menehunes. :) |

A couple reviews: "The average person would assume that Hawaii is dripping with tiki, but sadly, it’s not the case. Thanks to overzealous missionaries, most of the authentic Hawaiian artifacts were destroyed before U.S. servicemen arrived on the islands during WWII and kicked off the polynesian pop movement. The odd truth is that tiki had to find its way back to the islands, which it did until the “destroy all mid-century” mentality of the ’70s and ’80s took over. Author Phillip S. Roberts new 264-page book, Waikiki Tiki: Art, History and Photographs, does a magnificent job of documenting the rise and fall of the tiki resurgence in Waikiki and the island of Oahu with lots of pictures of places and things that sadly no longer exist." Ken Kanaka "...Whether you’re obsessed with tiki culture, find it tacky, or see it as an offensive display of cultural appropriation, you can’t deny the love that Phillip S. Roberts put into making this book. It’s a catalogue of Hawaii’s recent past, a piece of our modern popular culture we can’t deny, nor according to the author, one we shouldn’t be afraid to embrace."

Aloha,
I liked Ken's review, but I did differ with him on one minor point, the role of--"overzealous missionaries" in the downfall. The Kapu's were overthrown by the Hawaiian Monarchy (itself) in 1819 (see: 'Ai Noa, free eating-the concept of both sexes dining together.) and Kamehameha II (Liholiho - c. 1797–July 14, 1824) himself, ORDERED the Kapus not be enforced, the temples to be overthrown, and the idols burned. Luckily, everybody did not comply, thus the small amount of ki'i preserved today by museums. The few surviving Hawaiian carvings have prolifirated today providing the basis of what we all love... The first Missionaries arrived in Hawaii some months later in 1820... Thanks Scott. Can't wait to see you and Laura either! Proud of you buddy. I love your work! |

Aloha, I just want to remind you that this will be a chance for you in attendance to HEAR the VOICE of Donn Beach. DON THE BEACHCOMBER! GREAT QUALITY SOUND. You would swear you were right there at his luau in 1957-58. You do NOT want to miss this if you are in the LA area. I played it for Jeff Berry when he was here, and I must tell you, he was quite amazed. Loads of Eye candy not used in the Book... Smokin' Menehunes have assured my that they are going to be at the top of their game. this is going to be a super fun event! I am going to have some books for sale as well in case you do not already own it. if you do have a copy, feel free to bring it, and I'll sign it. Best, Phillip |
