It's unbelievable that the owners of Tiki Caliente still don't "get it". You'd think after Otto took his party elsewhere (and they lost significant business because of that) they would have realized that Tiki scene is worth embracing and that we're good people with some money to spend. (Okay, not a lot, but enough to fill their hotel for a weekend and bring some publicity to their place. I doubt Huell Howser would have dropped by had this event not been there.)

Rory, you throw a great party. Wherever you take it, I think we'll all join you. After all, it's about the people, the artwork, the music and the enormous amounts of FUN. Sure, it's great to hold an event like this in a venue that is themed for it, but there's so much more to having a great Tiki time than that. People can decorate their rooms and hold a contest. Carvers will put out their wares and, that alone will help Tikify whatever hotel this is in. And we can all still drop by The Tropics and at least enjoy a drink there (while thumbing our noses at the Caliente's front desk as we pass by.) And I think The Tropics would still be game to hold your art show there, regardless of where we're bunking.

And while I'm on a verbal roll, I'd like to pitch the idea of a miniature golf tournament for your next Tiki Caliente. There's a
"Boomers" down the road and this might make for a fun night- time event addition. I'm just imagining what playing mini-golf with Crazy Al would be like... !!!
