A HUGE thanks to Otto and BabyDoe for all their hard work, and to Holden too, for organizing all the vending. And a special thanks to all who visited my booth. Your purchases, compliments and encouragement really made my first Oasis a memorable and successful outing. I regret not being able to meet more of you, visit your booths, and sample your tasty concoctions, working during the event does have its downsides, but I feel lucky and priveledged to have spent time with those that I did. It was especially nice to see the kids so involved in the festivities. Fiona had a great time, and can't wait for next year. Hat's off to King Kukelele for being so great with the kids. Jauna and I REALLY appreciated it. Mr and Mrs Pinapple became our back ups when vending, eating, loading, packing, and everything else all at once was going on. You two were lifesavers for us and we will make it up to you someday, but for now, and heartfelt THANKYOU will have to do. DawnTiki, thankyou too for the sitter that we never had to use. Fiona did not want to miss a minute of the goings on, but we may not have brought her if you hadn't made the the offer. You're a gem, and it was sooo nice to finally meet you in person. MaiTai, those Cubans made my day. After 16 hrs on my feet, and a stop off for a quick drink in 135, I was heading off to bed for some much needed sleep, but it was not to be, and I do not regret it for a second. that was one of my highlights of the weekend. Sundays trading with friends was especially cool. Heather, Chongo, PolyPop, TikiTony, and anyone else I forgot(I'm still unpacking), it's great to finally get some of your art in our home. I saved my biggest thanks for last- Heather, if it weren't for you, I'd still be on that endless vendors waiting list! THANKYOU so much for sharing your cabana (that neither one of us could have fit in!!!) with me. It was really a pleasure spending the weekend side by side, peddling our wares. You made it all possible for my family to make it to Oasis this year, and I just can't thank you enough! Now it's back to the shop to get ready for the NW CRAWL next month. Hope to see many of you there. It's gonna be FUN!!
