The Weird at Tiki Oasis....
Now this is not a bad thing, It just stood out as odd to me.

I saw alot of new faces this year, yet fewer old faces
I missed many of the people whom I have talked to over the years, Was attendance down this year for veteran TCers?

From my perspective most of the new crowd are younger (A very good thing)
but not as involved, They spent most of the time observing & not participating (Not such a good thing)
They did not dress up (Spy or Tiki attire) nor really engage with the ones who did
What's up with that?

I missed that visual of a sea of Tiki shirts & dresses from Oasis past.

I have observed that younger people today don't participate or engage much today for anything (except with those smart-phones)
was this the mindset of new attendees, or are we old people just that intimidating?
