BIGtikidude,

I've attended the last two SG101 shows, the pre shows in San Diego and post shows at DTB. I plan on doing the same this year. It is a super cool deal!

Last year I had a buddy fly out from Maryland for a tiki event (that will remain unnamed) scheduled for the weekend after the SG101 show. My buddy flew out early in time to make the Friday night pre sg101 show in San Diego and we both attended the convention and DTB show. That was his first time to DTB and he was really stoked on the whole scene and experience in the Dagger bar that night. Sick tunes, killer food and an original DTB zombie. It was perfect except for the long car ride back home. It was nice to share such a bitchin scene like that with a good old friend who appreciated it. Other than having drinks at Bali Hai this was his first tiki experience and my most memorable for sure!

So for me, Having a family, being budget minded, and attempting to get folks in from the right coast, I appreciate the early heads-up.

However, I also understand the need for a larger polynesian themed event held in SD to be considerate of it's attendees and post limited information and dates as early as possible. I appreciate that too.

As mentioned earlier in this thread the large poly pop themed weekend requires planning ahead like booking a hotel room. It woudl be nice if this large event with lots of attendees was in an area with amble lodging options so finding a room wouldn't be such an issue. Maybe it should be moved from Hotel Circle North to Hotel Circle South? :)

For the record, I've attended the large San Diego event many many times and will be doing the same this year. I look forward to it every year. I enjoy it an appreciate all the effort put into it. It is a wonderful experience. I pretty much think it's perfect just the way it is.

BTD, live long, post early and post often

Late!
