I have had lots o money to spend at one time in my life and then not so much to spend at times too so I get that sometimes the cash just is not there.

And even when I had lots o cash at times I would say that's just not worth it.

Myself I have problems going to some tiki bars as they just flat out charge too much for me to go there drink and have fun knowing a huge bill is coming for so so drinks at the end of the night.

But have seen people who are just cheap, they could spend but just can't do it.
Even some of the ones who go to an event, make money selling tiki crap at that event and STILL don't drop a dime.

These chepos by going displace a person who would have gone and helped the event by buying a few things.

These events do cost a lot to go to especially if you have to travel far but if you are going to fork over that cash at least go to an event that is worth it.

The events in my opinion that don't cost as much don't give you as much fun in return and can be a bit clique driven.
If you are in the clique you will have fun, if not it can feel odd to be there.

That's what I have seen and that's what I've been told.

I really do want you to have a great time at whatever event you choose as keeping people happy at the events keeps tiki alive and well.

And I may want to spend my whole tiki event stuck behind a booth selling tiki every hour of the event and eat last in the future so the events need to thrive.

Hey event runners how about a free custom shirt or mug or some kind of thank you to the venders who sell at your events.
Instead of the "you guys eat last after all the fun is done" treatment.
