My guess is that Otto knows that this will be a change in the style of the event but in the end its the attendees, entertainment, and vendors that help make it what it has become. Lets give Otto the benefit of the doubt and look forward to something new.... Otto has an amazingly complex list of criteria he is using to pick a place-inlcuding price, room availability, lack of time to plan* and lots more! Monkeyman, you are right on in suggesting that we give him the benefit of the doubt! The Hanalei is what he feels is the best choice taking into consideration the multitude of criteria he has. Now let's go and have fun!! :) *normally this event is planned just over a year in advance, but with the turnaround in The Caliente's not wanting to work with the Oasis this year, Otto doesn't have the luxury of 12 plus months to plan. He realises how much you all would miss Oasis if it was postponed for a year, so he has been hussling to try to get in happening in only a few months.
