I’ve enjoyed his blog for awhile, and I’m enjoying his videos, too. I bet others here might also be interested. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMLJHygSs5IV2ET-2xBwqcg

Episode 10: Elvis and Tiki I enjoy Elvis’ “Blue Hawaii” album, and this episode has convinced me to check out the movie, as well as some of his other non-tiki albums and movies. (The only Elvis movie I’ve seen is ”It Happened at the World’s Fair.”)

C creativenative Tiki Socialite Drifting on my outrigger canoe Joined: Feb 17, 2012 Posts: 353	C creativenative Posted posted on Fri, Nov 3, 2017 9:05 AM Love the “Straight-Edge” episode (used to use the term “dry” for dry drinks or a dry bar) because I personally don’t drink but I realize it is part of tiki and it is good to know I can now get closer to the FULL experience. The “Tiki Oasis” episode didn’t cover the workshops/seminars which is one of the many things I like at the Oasis. Over all some what informative and some what entertaining so the combination is great tiki infotainment. Keep it up Ray. Subscribed and recommend! [ Edited by: creativenative 2017-11-03 09:10 ]

If you want to hear more from Syd, Adrian also interviewed him on ”Inside the Desert Oasis Room.” [ Edited by: Hamo 2018-01-22 21:09 ]

H Hamo Grand Member (3 years) Colorado (via Iowa) Joined: Aug 22, 2016 Posts: 2068	H Hamo Posted posted on Sun, Dec 23, 2018 5:05 PM A few recent "Tiki with Ray" videos I've enjoyed: Episode 58: Circus Peanut Syrup! Blair Reynolds of B.G. Reynolds This made me wish I'd gotten the Circus Peanut syrup during Blair's Kickstarter. Episode 60: The 2nd Wave Of Tiki With Jeanie And Tom Episode 61: Every Home Tiki Bar Is Unique Episode 68: So You Just Got Into Tiki Episode 70: Tiki Mug Collection Or Obsession? This one mentions Wendy's ceramic work quite a bit.

BB Bam Bam Tiki Socialite NEPA Joined: May 13, 2016 Posts: 506	BB Bam Bam Posted posted on Thu, Feb 21, 2019 11:49 AM So I've learned 2 things after watching some back episodes. One, Ray hailed from the Coal Region in PA, and two, there is apparently still a Beachcomber Lounge down in Mount Carmel which he once frequented! (Street View) I'm not getting my hopes up, though, since the review in Tiki Road Trip describes it as a "Party Bar" and short on atmosphere. Makes me wonder if it's even worth the trip. Kinda still want to check it out though.

This might be a nice way to think about these places, especially if we can't physically visit them in the next few weeks.

H Hamo Grand Member (3 years) Colorado (via Iowa) Joined: Aug 22, 2016 Posts: 2068	H Hamo Posted posted on Wed, Apr 27, 2022 6:23 PM Ray has had lots of good episodes over the past two years (plus some very loose, "anything is tiki," talk recently--see the latest "Star Wars tiki club" video), but I really appreciated this one about Miguel Covarrubias' Pageant of the Pacific murals from the 1939 San Francisco World's Fair: Tiki With Ray Episode 131: Pageant Of The Pacific Maps
S SouthSeasKat Tiki Centralite Tokyo Joined: Apr 04, 2019 Posts: 91	S SouthSeasKat Posted posted on Wed, Apr 27, 2022 11:51 PM You can see that latest episode in the night shots of the Makuhari Club. I feel like Tiki is a Big Hut kind of hobby/community/subculture. While I lean more towards TC's idea of boundaries, I respect Ray's opinion (and those who share it). I like some Disney stuff and feel with the Tiki Room, the Jungle Cruise, and other Adventureland stuff, I can make that work for me. In particular, I miss The Adventurers Club. And I appreciate the nods to SEA which exist in DisneySea here in Tokyo and Trader Sam's. [ Edited by SouthSeasKat on 2022-04-27 23:52:05 ]
