I have to say, I did not have any of the issues you mentioned. I had a great time at Bali Hai. Drink lines were long, but more like 10 minutes, so I just ordered two drinks per person. My hands were full but I never use them for anything else anyway. The wristband line was too long on Thursday, but I only stood in line maybe 20 minutes on Friday and spent the time talking with friends. I hosted a room crawl and about 70 people showed up. I was able to speak, at least briefly, with nearly everyone, and basked in the compliments of others the whole time. When I went to other room crawls I was able to get a drink, thank the host, and reach over the others to the tip jar. Once I even made change for a $20. If the room crawl was too crowded, I went to another room or just opened my own door and invited people in for a drink. I was unable to get into the pajama party, but that was my only disappointment of the weekend. I swam in the pool once, but did not sit in a chaise. Jumped in the hot tub and got out so others could have a turn. Lastly, the "fight" was just two kittens wrestling under a blanket. Or was that a stage dancer? Kinda tipsy at that point, hard to tell for sure. Lastly, the security people were very professional and that fabric is a cotton-poly mix. Drinks were drunk, fun was had, and peace was kept.

Thank you Otto, Baby Doe, Matteo, and all others who worked so hard, volunteered, or hosted a party suite or room crawl. I honestly think this was the best Oasis ever!
