Does anyone know if they've already announced next year's dates (& location) for Tiki Oasis 11?

as stated in the program
Next year's dates are Aug 18 - 21 (I was hoping it would be a week earlier but the third weekend of Aug is the only date that the hotel can guarantee giving us all the meeting room spaces)

"South of the Border" is the theme. Please note: this is the title of a Herb Alpert record, not a reference to Taco Bell. But I intend it to encompass all the Latin influences on Exotica music with a heavy nod to the 1960s/70s Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass craze (remember, Julius Wechter, Martin Denny's vibist for most of Denny's career, became the leader of the Baja Marimba Band. They were part of the TJB craze and were stars in their own right on Herb's A&M records)

Crowne Plaza San Diego, formerly known as the Hanalei Hotel, will be the site due to its historical significance and its great staff and in the round pool area. Did everyone get the postcard reprint we did this year!?!
