I'm just the other way, I'm having a great time. Going tonight to see old cartoons.

With this kind of stuff, movies, I never know until I go.

I recently had my preconceived concepts shown again to be a fools prison, when I went to a tiki fest and they kicked off the double feature with Gidget goes Hawaiian . Not a movie I would normally bother about, but I trusted the venue , live and learn , right? I really came out to see ifI could get a cool tiki mug, not for the movie, but I figured it could be a fun memory.

It was a blast. I know most of the fun was generated by the crowd, the phony surf scenes had everybody howling right from the start, and the scripted parts were run with such a great cast,(introducing debra wally, with carl reiner, peggy cass, etc. the whole thing was just a lot of fun. I didn't stay for the elvis movie, blue Hawaii

I suppose the music and party drinks at the tiki fest beforehand loosened up the crowd. At one point the scandinavian jazz band had a crow singing along. Nature is so great.

That band saved the experience for me. Everything else was kind of silly and fun, but these guys were capable of artistic statements, and did them well. They were stuck out in the valley for weeka, in heat and smog, being flown in to record a jazz composition. It was lucky for me they decided to hit the scene where I was. The island music was just some jokey white guy with a uke, kept it moving, family style tourist trade stuff, no band, one acoustic bass
