This is what keeps us motivated to continue doing this event. Although the event has grown so much it truly is a family run event. All year long Otto and I and the kids look forward to throwing the event but also ENJOYING it! We are soooo lucky to have some amazing members of our crew who all work behind the scenes and also AT the event to make sure the event is a success! Without this group of people this event would be a total bust! People I want to make sure you all know about so if you ever see them around at your local tiki bar you can pat them on the back: Mateo - our Volunteer Master and Registration Guru Aaron from Tidbit who did our WONDERFUL website Crystal Cove Media for video expertise Gene from Falling Coconuts for all our swag makin' Martin for RUM-love (whew! those two symposiums were a lot of work to make happen!) Our interns: the two Maria's and Jen Tiki Dr Shocker our myspace chap Car show organizer Bill Graff and at the event Jason MP for all that brillant artwork/signage around the event Patrick Robinson AV/DJ set-up dude John and crew for the kids Tiki Tike Room KING KUKULELE - the emcee that keeps on giving Matt Reese for the dazzling surfed out Go Go peds Jim Giddings - Stage Manager extraordinaire Cobain for the groovy decor at the dance parties and the lobby and stage - WOW!! Toes on the Nose for working with us on the first Tiki Oasis shirt evaaahhh! Cammo our symposium coordinator Tiki King for the trophies (sorry dude 2 got snagged!) Bob for makin' everyone sound so good Christi Crowe who pushed us to keep on going when we felt discouraged Shag for the groovy shirt designs The volunteers who filled the over 50 shifts we needed to cover oh sooo many more people who volunteered their time to perform, make drinks in their rooms, get on stage for the costume contest, take photos, perform at the event and ...wow... really you are ALL part of the Tiki Oasis family! and of course the CROWNE PLAZA who works with us each year to make sure the event is a success because of them Tiki Oasis has found a great place to call home in San Diego.
