To Tiki Oasis or Not to Tiki Oasis? - California Events

There are a variety of events out there. And there seems to be a few major points to each: A) A classic or neo-classic tiki bar experience B) Entertainment along a certain line C) The ohana You sort of start out with A and wanting to get folks there to share in that thing we so dearly love. And you want C there. And you start figuring out what B you can get so the most C shows up. But then, by the time you get it all going, you have somewhat clobbered A by having it chocked full of people. In order to have really good B you have to appeal to a lot more than just C. My thought lately is that I would really like to have an event with just A and C. Now, this happens all over the country on various night regularly and inregularly as locals congregate or out of towners drop in. So, how do you make an event that is just A and C work on a big scale? That's the dilemma. I want to figure out ways to have an event at a tiki bar for the fans. Maybe there will always be that as you have a big event and the ohana get together regardless. More tiki bars for all of us to visit regularly where ever we are.
