Sunday morning, and the living is easy. Symposiums, then chilling by the pool. What a way to end the weekend.

As I pulled up at 10:30am, the cars were lined up to exit. Almost everyone was clearing out and heading back on the convoy homeward.

However, there were still few familiar faces left meandering around. Kevin Kidney and Jody Daily showed up at the last minute and I encountered them at the Bosko and Otto symposiums

Cammo managed to sneak in between chopping and carving to get "symposed upon" as well.

Out by the pool, BigTikiDude Jeff (who is HUGE in Europe right now, by the way) and Tiki Tena Kristena traded spins on the turntables and shook the reverb "surf style" for the pool-goers who were begging for more

Kristena got hungry so she ate this floater she found in the pool, in honor of that scene from Caddy Shack.

Suzy killed em' all in this fantastic poolside fashion statement

I ran into Mark (Marty Lush and the Hangovers inventor)

As I sat and soaked up the hot surf music and watched the Chop auction from far off, BigTikidude DJ "Surfy" Jeff asked me what my favorite thing about this Oasis was. After a moment of thinking about it, I decided that even though the entertainment and the symposiums were great, and I totally spent every dime I had on the vendors hot merch, I had to say it was definitely the room crawls. I thought the first night was mindblowing from all the old friends I ran into, and I didn't think I could laugh any harder, but man, was I totally wrong. Saturday night blew Friday night out of the water. I haven't had such a good time in eons!

Sunday was nice and quiet, much needed after the craziness from the night before, and laying by the pool and just enjoying the surf tunes and exotica was a sweet finish.

But it is the people who make Oasis what it is. And as I sat under the umbrella by the pool and learned as much as I possibly could about what surf albums to buy when I get home, I could only think to myself, man, I can't wait til next year....

So bring your pictures on, everybody! I've done my duty here, let's see what you all brought back with you.
