Well, gee, I thought that Oasis and the Room Crawl were about having fun and creating lots of positive energy. I just have to tell you guys that the negativity and attacks related to this room award thing are really not in that spirit.

Seriously, it's a decorated hotel room at an event that is meant to be fun and light hearted and I'm definitely getting a strong negative (read sour grapes) vibe here that Princess P and I got the room award.

What's up with that? It doesn't really seem to be in the spirit of what I thought Tiki was about...and it's a bummer to have something that was such a positive experience for me tainted by a few folks who feel the need to make snide comments about our decorations.

The truth is that Shell did an amazing job organizing it, all of the rooms were great, all of the drinks were yummy (and free) and a good time was had by all. Does it really matter who gets an award? I guess to some people that's more important than the experience, but for me it's not.

So, say what you like about our room decorations, and take comfort in the fact that Princess P and I decided on Saturday night that if we host a room for the Crawl in the future, we will be taking ourselves out of the room decoration competition because, for us, it's about the fun and we both have enough stress and competition to deal with in our "real" lives.

Hey, it wasn't just the decorations that helped you clinch first place. It was that dead lady corpse out on your deck that helped seal the deal! I mean, who's gonna be able to compete against that?

And personally, I would like to see you re-enter the room decoration contest again next year. And if you keep that corpse lady on ice for a year, then she would be a perfect tie-in to next year's theme of Voodoo Zombie!!!

But c'mon, the real reason you won? Because you guys ROCK!!! That's why. 'Nuff said. :D Congratulations to you both!!!
