'Tis a shame that the only real pirate here at Tiki Central won't be makin' the voyage to the fair waters of Oasis.... didn't realize I needed to book official passage (buy a day pass) to come aboard for just the day.... if I am readin' this incorrectly please advise but from what Baby Doe says in this here thread back on page 6, no day passes - means no one can come just for the day/night (?) I was not planning to stay over due to time contraints but was going to come maybe Saturday or Friday and hang out and spend me doubloons with the merchant traders... Er, Oh well. That's the way the wind blows.

Travelocity is rubbing it in on me! They emailed me today:

"FareWatcherSM Update Cities

Nashville, TN (BNA) New Price: $284.00+
Old Price: $413.00 You save: $129.00
Palm Springs, CA (PSP)"

$284 round trip. Jeez. I wish I had known to be saving up, but I gave up on Oasis a while ago.

Will anyone be bringing a laptop that will have internet access? I need a way to use paypal but I dont own a laptop? I will pay you $5 per transaction if you are willing.

This is assuming that the buyer and seller both have their OWN paypal accounts.

I plan on having my laptop there. Caliente Tropics has dial-up internet access only and I have dial-up access through earthlink, which has a local PS number. I don't know about Vagabond.

TikiCrow and Ms. TikiCrow (aka Suzanne) will be there. We just got in due to the Royal Sun booking snafu - Yea!!!

We are going to try to see SWAT Thursday night on our way down.

My dad and I will be there with our Munktiki vending machine.
Hey,... anybody else been watching the extended weather forecast for Palm springs. Showing now that it might rain that saturday. Wonder what plans are in place if it does?

-stuckie

If it rains theres only one thing to do. Cover the entire lanai with one of these..... Shaded for the sun, covered for the rain. Has anyone mentioned it to otto?

It's more likely you'll have to get under one of these:

nah just get drunk enough you don't notice the liquid sunshine....besides everyone knows it never rains in southern california

I got my shifts on the door on Saturday and Sunday so I will be there.

Way to go Sam! We'll see ya there!

ROOM AVAILABLE!!!!! At the Vagabond Inn.....I have an extra room reserved. Let me know if you need it. No tix for the Oasis though.

SoccerTiki and WooHoo Wahine will B there!

I can't wait to see if anyone knows how to Woo Hoo? (I know Soccer Tiki can)

I managed to get two shifts as well. So I'll be there! And I'll be wearing this:

SWEET FEZ!!!!!

Thanks, Monkeyman! I was sweating it out that it wouldn't arrive on time, like the smoking jacket I ordered for the Bay Area Tiki Crawl (which didn't arrive until the Monday after the crawl!) But this one made it! Whew!!!

Hey, that was my 100th post!

We are driving to Palm Springs tomorrow!

I want to send a special thanks to Otto von Stroheim of the Tiki News for making our Tiki Oasis dreams a reality!

Ok maybe it is weird to send a public e-mail about your husband BUT I do want to tell everyone how proud I am of my man. The amount of HOURS that this one guy has put into this show is tremendous. He works a full time job, get home late and works on Tiki Oasis til the wee hours all for OUR fun and enjoyment at Tiki Oasis! Just weeks before the event the hotel changed management and Otto then had to deal with the 3 hotels separately as well as a new bar manager. He didn’t complain (ok, not that much) and he just dove right in and made sure the event would be a success for all the attendees. He was also in full production on the next Tiki News and had to put that on hold for the event which was a disappointment (so don’t give him too hard of a time for not having an issue).

Anyway, the Tiki Oasis V will be the best EVER due to this man’s passion for making these things happen. Please kiss Otto (even the girls) OR hug him OR just give him a high-5 for all his energy and enthusiasm for the Tiki Oasis.

XOXO Baby Doe

Baby Doe, we truly do appreciate all of his and your hard work. It really is amazing how this event has grown and keeps most of us coming back over and over again.

Congratulations on the pending eve of Oasis 2005.

Cool fez Mai Tai.

MAHALO NUI LOA OTTO!!!

Late to post, yes. Late to Oasis? No Way! Weird Unc will be there! I'm giving a lift to The Mysterious Miss Mauna Loa and the fellows in The Maikai Gents. WOWEEE!

-Weird Unc

Better late than never? Add Tiki Crow & Suzanne

I'm so anxious I can't stand it!! Considering how they treated Casey, at the
end of the festivities we should all pee in the pool!

Have a great time at Tiki Oasis V! I hope to see you all there!

Casey, I'm sure everyone would love to see you if you can make it!
