I had a great time at the first SD Oasis, and I'm hoping the next one will be here, too. I think the potential for even more fun is big, as we all know this Oasis had to organized in short notice (and in less than favorable conditions).
I'd like to thank Otto and Babydoe for putting this together. Matt Reese was indeed working hard to help, busting his ass all throughout the weekend. Let us not forget Ona Tiki's work, as he was busting his ass with Matt, too. Thanks to all the volunteers who helped.
Special thanks to Otto, who put my band The Sand Devils on the bill. I wasn't sure about how we will be accepted, but the positive responses were overwhelming, thanks!
This year's event wasn't in the best timing for me, as we are in the process of moving, the missus is 7 months pregnant, so to get ready for the gig, provide the backline for friday, and try to debut a drink was quite a task, and I have my wife's help and understanding, and Jeff's (BigTikiDude) help to thank.
I didn't have time to really do a room crawl, but I did get to visit Dr. Z's party, Dogbyte's room, Aaron's akua & monkeyman's room, and the TikiPugs. The drinks were delicious, but the company was the real fun part.
It was very gracious of Jonpaul, Marie, Adam and Erica to let me use their room for debuting my new drink "Keelhauled". The garnish is yet to be finalized, but the recipe proved to be a success. I might need to put a "limit one per customer" restriction based on the results :wink:

Until next year,
Ran
