TIKI OASIS IV - How was the Event? How was the Resort? How was The REEF? - California Events

Unlike in years past, we used a video projector which would've been okay if we'd had a bigger screen. I brought a 5x5 portable which I was told would be large enough (I couldn't recall the dimensions of the pool, it's a pretty big sucker!), but then the tech folks suggested hanging up a sheet anyway (not that anyone noticed probably, but the sprinkler system kicked in about 12:30 right behind it - at first I thought it was a drunken movie critic relieving themself....). We could've thrown the image on a 35mm movie screen if we'd had one (or jut a big wall). Anyway, the print of "From Hell It Came" was pretty murky at times but the sound was cranked up pretty loud, not that the story made any sense anyway. Many or you were already drunk or in the hot tub or crashing a room party by showtime (we got started around the time it was supposed to END), so maybe I'm apologizing for nothing. It was the only "tiki" monster movie I could think of (thought there are plenty of South Sea Island B flicks for the future) - if only you could've see it better. It is also in the public domain so we didn't have to pay any royalties to some greedy movie studio (everyone associated with this film is either dead or too ashamed to come forward.) If anyone has any suggestions for how we could rig a bigger screen next time, fire at Thrill. Anyway, great time, our second trip to Oasis (we stayed at the Orbit In again), mucho mahalo to Otto and Baby Doe and King and Project Pimento and Fishermen and APE and Casey and all the performers and all the merchants who helped deplete my wallet (which got soaked again when Gorilla X tossed me in the pool!), and of course my parents. Well, maybe not my parents.
