It's unfortunate my vocabulary put you on the defense TJ, not that Otto needs you to defend him to be sure. Let's face it, Otto does more for tiki before breakfast than most of us do all week. FYI, clandestine does not necessarily mean disingenuous....

It might not necessarily mean disingenous, but it can, and that was the implication I got. If I misunderstood your meaning, my bad. The internet is funny like that. :)
But that's neither here nor there. Rather than picking on word choice, I was trying to say let's give Otto the benefit of the doubt. I'd say that his past efforts :drink: at least warrant that.

I also feel that if we complain about the way Otto handles things, maybe he'll tell us to shove Tiki Oasis, and he won't plan it for us anymore. Well, I haven't got the time or the money to undertake event planning like this, and the only other people I know who do run Hukilau in Florida.

I think we can all be a little more positive, even if we are a bit confused about who gets to do what when they're staying wherever. If people are getting email responses to questions, then let's post them here so everyone can benefit (thanks to dibroc who already started). Otto does a bang-up job on Tiki Oasis every year, and while you can't please everyone, I think he makes an admirable attempt. :)
