This is getting bigger and bigger each year.

The first time Our Fearless Leader Otto had it here in San Diego, both the hotel's management and the locals were stand-offish. They kept looking at us with quizzical smirks, like they were hoping it would fail and we'd all go home.

The hotel staff, meanwhile, "got it" right away and had the time of their lives.

Last Oasis was basically a giant 3-day blowout party, with Sunday as the public-invited day. They showed up in big crowds, blended right in and started drinking as soon as the bar opened. It got out of hand a few times, but now the Hanalei realizes exactly how fun a Tiki Party can be and they're into it!
