The thing to realize is that what Caliente Tropics is today is thanks in large part to Casey Jones.

He had no idea when he went in, but BigBro and others turned him on to the history of the place and he went with it. He then found the ohana and great people like Bamboo Ben and Crazy Al who passionately helped with the renovations.

Tiki Oasis was spawned from this friendship. The cooperation of Otto and Casey make Oasis happen and grow.

Casey is no longer managing the Tropics. Changes have already been made that would upset us tikiphiles and who knows what direction they will go in from here. You have to worry. If the tiki-friendly managment is gone, it may well mean a new direction. Let's all hope it's just a retooling, not a complete change.

That said, Otto is going to have a rougher time than normal this year. You guys have to have seen Casey running around all Oasis weekend keeping things under control and making it all work. Otto will not have that help, nor any of the staff that has ever worked Oasis before probably. This is a time to support your host and hostess and lend a hand, not a time to complain. Enjoy and revel in what you have. I wish I was going to be there to help out and enjoy the whole scene.

Cheers to Otto, Baby Doe and Casey!

I second that emotion!
