Hello friends!
I don't know what else I can say about Tiki Oasis 6 that hasn't been said yet. This was my third Tiki Oasis and so far the best! The location change was a breath of fresh air. All around an upgrade from the crowded Palm Spring location. It was just a matter of time before we outgrew Palm Springs. The only complain I heard was the weather. I never once went in the pool in Palm Springs, and I didn't miss the sometimes-too-hot weather. I would take San Diego's bigger hotel, bigger events, bigger sound, bigger shopping area, nicer locations anyday over Palm Springs hotter weather. Thanks to Otto and team for the millionth time. Thanks to all the Crawl hosts! Thanks to Josh Agle for the wonderful drinks and the beautiful, exclusive mugs we got to keep (he brought 30 of them). What a host! It was nice to see old friends and make new ones. Thanks to Spermy Whale for my first taste of Kevin and Jody's Miehana drink! Cult of the eye... wow. I will forever have memories of Bamboo Ben with his beautiful mug in hand all weekend, Ape's amazing high-energy performance, Bosko's informative tour, Tiki Tony's beautiful art, Holden's rare mug sale including some non-Tiki Farm mugs (Tiki Bob anyone? some people really scored! I scored an unglazed Enchanted Tiki Room mug), and lots of great drinks all weekend, all the time. I missed Sven (still in Germany?), and Trader Pup who was actually there, but sick as a dog in his room (I only saw him at Bali Hai). I have some choice pictures of the event and I will figure out a way to share them soon. The gift bag was a nice touch (swizzles, matchbooks with Oasis logo!). Hello to all my new friends! Drop me a line!
Oh, before I forget... the magician rubbed me the wrong way. His comments were a little condecending, and his hands need a few more years of practice (not fast enough to conceal his tricks). The real magic of Tiki for me where the wonderful music performances, the locations, the drinks, and most importantly the people. I love you, can I marry you all?
Counting the days 'till Tiki Oasis 7...
