uVu had a chance to spend some time this weekend soaking up Tiki culture under the tutelage of King Kukulele (kingkukulele@hotmail.com), ukulele player and MC for the evenings festivities.
In addition to vendor stalls offering everything from sarongs to hand carved tikis, the evening featured some great entertainment from bands like Walk The Plank (and their Guitar Slide player who was married on the beach just a few hours earlier). Also on hand was Elena Brandhofer and her hula hoop, courtesy of Centrifugal Force Hoop Dancers (cenforce@gmail.com).
In this clip, King Kukulele laments the demise of great Tiki Palaces, like the Mai Kai, which remains one of the last great shrines to Tiki Culture.
