i'd like to give thanks to all those i met at oasis. it was my first time and the spirit of the people there was amazing.

i'm simply amazed at the scope of talent that exists in the tiki world.

thanks especially to kingstiedye for picking me up at the airport. jonesey for being there and being a super nice guy. that's a great first impression of the event.

woohoo and soccer for hosting a great room that was super spooky. shelley for putting all that time into setting things up and putting in so much spirit to make sure people enjoyed themselves.

the nocal crew for having such a great room and making me the unofficial bouncer. happy to oblige.

the waitikis in their que hats were great. don't touch the que!

billy the crud, what a nice guy you are. thanks.

tikilee's, thanks again for the hospitality.

crazy al, thanks for the necklace.

hank and rita, you guys are great. i love the boar's tooth.

heather and mike, you are the best that canada has to offer.

buzzy, zaya . . you continue to make me smile with your joy.

all the san diego crew . . . you guys could keep the tiki vibe even through an earthquake.

otto, you're pretty cool. thanks for putting all this together. you did a good thing.

sven, it was a pleasure to put a real life personality with an online personality. it was a pleasant surprise. you have a beautiful family.

gecko and freddy, what a joy to meet two island guys that take the whole aloha experience with them wherever they go.

the staff was also great.

i'm sorry if i didn't mention anyone personally. no slight intended at all. i enjoyed all my time and everyone i met and talked with. i have no bad memories at all.

oh, and if anyone finds hoodoo ape skull #25. that's mine. i misplaced it.

thanks again, to everyone.
