If you happen to’re a fan of tiki cocktails and tradition, you’re most likely conscious of its “founding father,” Donn Seaside, who based a string of Don the Beachcomber eating places within the mid-Twentieth century.
And also you is likely to be conscious that the majority of his private story was a well-crafted advertising ploy (not not like what was accomplished with Sarah Winchester to make her mansion a vacationer attraction).
His life and the fascinating subculture that grew from it are the topic of a brand new documentary, “The Donn of Tiki,” which may have a one-night screening 7 p.m. at present, Could 18, at 3Below Theatres in downtown San Jose. You will get extra data and tickets at www.thedonnoftiki.com.
If you wish to get within the correct temper, San Pedro Sq. tiki bar Dr. Funk is internet hosting a Tiki Bazaar from midday to six p.m. at present, with distributors providing classic Hawaiian clothes, tiki-inspired carvings and paintings, mugs, baggage and jewellery.
