If you’re a fan of tiki cocktails and culture, you’re probably aware of its “founding father,” Donn Beach, who founded a string of Don the Beachcomber restaurants in the mid-20th century.
And you might be aware that most of his personal story was a well-crafted marketing ploy (not unlike what was done with Sarah Winchester to make her mansion a tourist attraction).
His life and the fascinating subculture that grew from it are the subject of a new documentary, “The Donn of Tiki,” which will have a one-night screening 7 p.m. today, May 18, at 3Below Theatres in downtown San Jose. You can get more information and tickets at www.thedonnoftiki.com.
If you want to get in the proper mood, San Pedro Square tiki bar Dr. Funk is hosting a Tiki Bazaar from noon to 6 p.m. today, with vendors offering vintage Hawaiian clothing, tiki-inspired carvings and artwork, mugs, bags and jewelry.
