On the advice of one of the moderators, I'm giving this another shot here.

If anyone has any interest in attending the event described in this thread
http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=6145&forum=1&14
would you please post and let me know?

I've gotten comments along the lines of "people want something other than tiki when they go to N.O.". So does that mean those of us who live here shouldn't even bother? We used to have out fair share of tiki establishments here, are we not allowed to ever again? I went to Chicago specifically for Exotica, though I know there are lots more things there than tiki. It sort of sounds like saying "I wouldn't attend an OC crawl because if I went there, it would be to go to Disneyland". Can't you do both? Must N.O. be held in separate regard?

I know a lot of people on this board like to visit N.O., I've read the posts. Why wouldn't you want to be here with other TCers?

That being said, IF anyone IS interested, would you rather, in addition to the main event:
a) Tiki or Beyond Tiki related planned activities
b) Non Tiki, typical N.O. planned activities
c) No planned additional activities, rather do own thing.

AND...
Are there any vendors or performers who would be interested in participating?

I really need some constructive input, if I am to secure arrangements for a group hotel rate in time.

And I guess if you think this is a stupid idea and want to tell me to piss off, I need to know that too.

Thank you for reading.
