I'm in for a revision of my previous post... tiki torture is having to read an unending stream of new "Oasis" topics in almost every forum here on TC. Jeez, can't you people keep this stuff to yourselves or PM each other? As an absolutely jealous tikiphile with no chance in hell of ever making it to the Mecca that is Tiki Oasis, or any other tiki event for that matter, every new topic that pops up leaves me feeling more and more like the kid who doesn't get to go to the cool kids birthday party because of a piano recital! Stop it already!! Haven't you people heard of e-mail? :wink: I've purposely avoided reading the events forum for a couple months now and I will continue to do so until the dust settles!

Have fun and remember to raise a toast to those of us still thirstily wandering the tiki-less deserts of America with nothing more than a flimsy, brightly-colored aloha shirt to shield us from the blinding rays of gray we see on a daily basis. For we are destined to wander this mundane desert for all eternity. We will never get the chance to dip a toe in the Tropics swimming pool, or quench our cracked throats with a cooling but potent drink whipped up by Al, or simply basking in the camaraderie of a thousand other like minded "friends" that we've never met but who somehow feel like family. Off in the distance we can see The Oasis on the horizon but sadly for us it remains nothing more than a mirage.

Enough of my boo-hooing - have fun all! Take lots of pics! :)
