Scott PS As for complaints about lines to room parties, At last check they are NOT part of your admission fee to Tiki Oasis. I'm really surprised that they don't charge a small fee or have stricter "invite only rules" . If you don't want to stand in line for a fee drink in a hot sweaty room ,buy a bottle and throw your own party next year. Agreed, as someone who was part of a room suite party thrown last year, I was delighted with the security this year. It kept out the rowdy ticket less marines who decided to show up last year as well as the homeless people who tried to crash and sleep in the suite last year. In terms of lines for the room parties...room parties are not part of the admission - or really technically part of Oasis as an event - although it may seem otherwise. The parties started years ago as a Tiki Central thing (and is still a Tiki Central thing). Tiki Central and Oasis are two different entities. Room parties are a serendipitous extra - provided by very generous and gracious individuals who pay for the parties out of their own pockets. So gaining admittance is not an entitlement or included as part of the admission. They are a special opportunity when it's available. In terms of line cutting at the room parties, if a party thrower wishes to have their friends attend, and advise their friends how and when to get in, it's their choice who they want to have at their party - and the hosts should be able to have their friends come in when they wish. Attending a room party is not an entitlement - or a free booze opportunity necessarily, but a granted honor. So I agree with Skinny Dog, if you have an issue with lines or being sweaty in a room, instead of exhibiting ingratitude, buy your own bottle or throw your own party next year and create the parameters of your fun and own party. Just a thought. [ Edited by: Coco Loco 2009-08-24 01:25 ]
