Rum Dog,
I'm confused by all the use of the monkeys.
I thought that goin' primitive was in the fall last year?

Amy's Mojave Oasis, and Goin' Primitive are 2 separate events.

Hey Jeff and anyone else who wants to know,

I’m kind of going with a desert theme that incorporates tikis. The monkeys are just a way to have fun with it, be more creative, and “monkey around”. I am actually using them as a fun unofficial tiki element in the manner of Doug Horne or Robert Jimenez rather than as a “primitive” element. However, I see how people can see how it applies more to the last event and lead to confusion. The use of Native Americans & the Southwest are likewise trying to fit in more in line with the desert/Mojave theme than being a rerun of the primitive theme.

Many of you know I like to go way overboard with themes and especially with campsite decorations which I hope adds to the experience and makes it more memorable. This, along with hosting a leg of the crawl, is my way of filling a niche and having a more active involvement within the tiki community.

Please bear with me over the next week or so as I have some wacky and hopefully entertaining posts in store. Hopefully most are enjoying my shameless self-promotion and humor and are not too offended since some post might cross the boundaries of political correctness. Those not interested, please scroll down or do not click on the thread when you see that I was the last to post.

Thanks and looking forward to seeing everyone next week.

Now back to shameless self promotion of my camp site.
