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:
Just paypal me the amount of 20.00 Dollars to my Paypal account sventiki@aol.com WITH your address, and you'll get one with a special postcard or other goodie in the mail.
Here are some more snap shots of scenes, taken off my TV screen:

My pleasure!
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. 
Danke, Sven
