It might be possible to use the hotel banquet space we are using for Hukilau, just a few days earlier.

The biggest hassle of Hukilau 2002 was getting all the vendor stuff worked out. Entertainment is easy, when people are trying to sell, you need to do a lot of things right and much planning, yadda yadda.

But having such a thing in conjunction with an event like Hukilau might make the whole thing more feasible for all. Some would come early to shop, or might already be coming early to make Hukilau part of a vacation. They could add that to their plans. A number of vendors might already be planning to go to the event and adding a day or two to the trip in which they can make money and then relax and spend that money at the event...

I guess it all depends on who would come and where they are coming from and what they are bringing. The guys who came from Florida for Hukilau 2002 to Atlanta didn't enjoy moving all those tikis and they didn't travel well.

Lots to think about.
