(making my own at the oasis, if it involves Humuhumu and bumperstickers, well, that's a whole 'nother story.) I think the guy selling the parrot/palm tree was kind of funny, I didn't want to be the one to tell him how uncool his product was, I voted with my wallet. I think the vendors who had cool stuff, sold it. Vote with your wallet, there's something for everyone! I would LOVE to see more traditional dancers, I vote yes for that. I vote no on Japanese fetish porn and electronica, ehhh, not so tiki. Otherwise, I agree with Pop on a slightly bad vibe, on occasion. Particularly the drunk frat boys in Dr. Z's room, mocking mr. pineapple, scrimshaw, weird uncle tiki and 2 others, drunken jam. I'M the ONLY one allowed to mock mr. pineapple's bongo's :) In general, though, the bigger the event gets the harder it is to keep out the negative, spring break types. All we can do is set a positive example, and remind people, (gently, there's rum involved) of the spirit of aloha. I try to focus on all the really cool people I met who aren't yet members of my tiki family, and hopefully the good will outweigh the bad! mrs. p [ Edited by: mrs. pineapple on 2004-05-12 11:13 ] [ Edited by: mrs. pineapple on 2004-05-12 11:21 ] [ Edited by: mrs. pineapple on 2004-05-12 11:22 ]
