Peep’s of Caliente,
I would like to thank everyone for making Tiki Caliente 5 what I believe to be the greatest one so far. As I Believe everyone had a great time and received maximum entertainment for there dollar. I tried to do our best to be loyal to our regulars with still extending a hand out to some new tiki peep’s. I believe we hit the right combination.

With that being said,it did not stop me from having a restless nights sleep last night thinking about issues that could have been prevented. I would like to personally apologize to the rooms above the lobby that I did not warn about the late night bands. As I thought this was a fun add on show,I should have warned the surrounding rooms when they booked and gave them other options.I also want to thank BIGTIKIDUDE for D.J.ing the show and always providing a perfect setting with sound. I am sorry I forgot to mention you at the show. Also,as the event grows I continue to try and give personal attention to my friends who have been to Tiki Caliente of years past and some are not happy with the changes because they like the smaller shows and more personal style of the past,I believe as the show grew I try to be loyal and fair,but it has become an event and not a gathering and will be treated more like a business to be fair to all.

Several people mention that I was not as visible as years past and I am sorry for that.
I would rather hand the mic over to Crazy Al and other entertainers and enjoy more 1 on 1 conversations. Also with this event now hitting over 500 people I can honestly say there were times I was claustrophobic at my own event at times so I found myself retracting and maybe enjoying more cocktails at the night then in years past.

I look forward to an interesting Tiki Caliente 6 year were my biggest issue will be how to KILL the momentum. My goal was always 500 people max and i would like to stick with that number in following years. So to restrict the numbers you may see some slight changes in the future. I always said “I don’t want Tiki Caliente to be the biggest,only the Best”and I meant it.

So thank you again to everyone who was part of my vacation as well and I hope you believe I did my best to show you a good time.
