No offense intended, but your words in the recent post suggest that one needs (or always needed?) an invitation to attend The Hukilau. I think those of us who know the event attest that this is not ever been the case. Hukilau is a public, not private, event.

And let's all of us not ever forget that The Hukilau is still a business with costs.

Elitism. That's a separate argument meant for other aspects of tiki.
In this open, and hopefully remaining calm, conversation of opposing point of view, an outsider could easily construe the timing of the Kreepy Tiki "after Party" event as a competing for the spot light. Not an accusation. An observation.

Its very apparent nothing any of us says here is going to stop either event from occurring, so not even going to go there. At the same time, please allow the other side to voice the concerns that the event that so many are traveling far and for is being effected, if not compromised, by a separate event with an overlapping time frame and gratis admission.

EDIT: Again for spelling & grammatical correction
