The CTR is our life, and tiki followers have become the purest part of our life blood. I sincerely apologize for the gross oversights relative to the REEF bar service. You all deserve an explanation, which is posted under the TIKI OASIS BARTENDING subject. We are inexperienced bar operators and I apologize for producing this black cloud during the event. Moving on, and just to clarify, we don't make a habit of engaging the police except in dire circumstances--you guys didn't even come close. It is a joy to have a whole resort full of like-minded people with a lot of positive energy. That said, please understand our permanent staff take great pride and ownership in this business and can get somewhat defensive if they feel we're not in control--it's their home and it supports their families. Quite frankly, there's not another group I'd rather have in the resort and it was an empty feeling come Monday evening. Thank you all for allowing us to participate in your passion! The Caliente tropics Resort, and especially this event, would have never happened if it weren't for Pete Moruzzi (PS Modern Committee), Sven and Otto. We are truly blessed!
