Thank you and congratulations to Otto and Baby Doe for a fantastically fun Oasis.

Best of Oasis:

Seeing APE live: Amazingly tight musicians. Crazy Al is so talented - singer, dancer, tiki carver (all three at the same time while performing with APE), songwriter, MC, mug sculptor, business owner, and more.

The Lampshades: Kate Flannery (Meredith on The Office) and Scot Robinson (Anchorman) were hilarious! I hope they are back next year.

Martin Cate's Persuasive Power of Punch Cocktail Symposium and the Notch designed 40 gallon flaming volcano bowl. The Cocktail Symposium is always a highlight for me because I always like to improve my mixology skills.

Thee Swank Bastards: Excellent music and Szandora had choreographed moves for every song. (Otto and Baby Doe, please have them back again next year)

Marina the Fire Eating Mermaid in the hotel pool: Impressive portrayal of a mermaid

Trader Tiki's syrups and mixology skills: I believe he served a Nui Nui out of a vendor's Lanai room. Excellent drink, and I hope you do well with the syrups.

Lots of fantastic Bosko art at friendly prices!

Violetta Baretta

The room parties (of course)

Johnny Johnny (Tiki Bar TV): always good to see him

Next year: please have Tikiyaki Orchestra on the main stage Saturday night. It is time, and has been since 2007!

Is next year's theme really old Mexico??? Because when I think Polynesian Pop, Mexico is usually what comes to mind....or not. I'm sure there are some better themes, like focusing on a specific region in Polynesia. Plus, I much prefer rum to tequila.

Otto and Baby Doe: congratulations on ten years!
