Pages: 1 2 3 132 replies

You Betcha! Tiki Oasis is like New years, Halloween and the 4th of July all rolled up into one giant burrito of...HOT CHA! So...start your countdown right now, and Tiki Oasis 'll be here before you can say...BLAST OFF!!!

The open air double decker bus takes some scenic roads to the Bali Hai.
It thus takes approx 25 minutes.

It's best to buy tickets in advance or in the lobby of the hotel on Aug 16th.
Cristin from WYWTB Tours/Scavenger Hunts will be selling tickets to the tour
( dncludes the water taxi adventure) and also shuttle bus tickets in the late afternoon ( 315pm - 5pm) on Thurs Aug 16th.

Aloha.

This will be our first Tiki Oasis. Just got my tickets ordered for the symposiums. Looking forward to it!

I will definitely be there. Look for me rolling around the Bali Hai on the 16th. I'll probably skip dinner, but look for me in the upstairs bar if you get there early. Rock on.

The time for the Friday Aug 17th adventure has been
changed. It will start at little later, at 130pm
The open air double decker bus will pick up people at 130pm

130 - 530pm on Friday Aug 17th

The Thursday Aug 16 tour and shuttles will begin with a pick up at the hotel
at 4:15pm. Other pick-ups at the hotel will be

5pm
6pm
7pm
8pm- 830pm
9pm- 930pm

Return trips from the Bali Hai on Thurs will be done every 45 - 60 minutes. The Tiki Oasis staff will also the status of when buses are expected. See the complete rundown on the seperate post on Aug 3rd. Aloha!

Dumb questions from an Oasis newbie....do I need to bring print-outs of my purchased on-line tickets? Or will my name be on the attendance roster? I purchased tickets for Friday and Saturday night and also for Berry's Mixology Symposium. :)

TC Ohana! The Coconut Monkey Project needs your help!

If you live in the Los Angeles area and are driving down to Oasis Wed. Thurs. or early Fri. I have a few Coconut Monkey Paintings that need a lift!!!
I am proud to announce that The Coconut Monkey Project paintings and prints will be featured at the FreakyBoutiki in San Diego-owner Hodad Hank and I are trying to get everything set up before Oasis and I can't get down there until late Friday night. I looked into sending them via mail-but these sets of wood panel bamboo framed prints would cost an arm and a leg and a bellybutton to send, so Iam trying to find some nice folks who wouldn't mind a few monkey stowaways in their trunk.

If you have room, and the time, I will be forever in your debt. I will bring the monkeys to you, anywhere in the Los Angeles area.
Also, you may pick out your favorite hand framed print as a thank you!

Please contact me through Tiki Central or my blog.

Mahalo!

The migration of tikiphiles....Sacramento heads to Oasis, and you come to the fair capital....go figure!!! Not to worry though...seems like there is always some big tiki bash going on somewhere...just stay tuned and welcome to TC Tiki Lion. :D

Big changes today (transfer from California Events topic: "Tiki Tuesday @ Sam's Aug.7th"):"...as a result of today's upsets, Tiki Lion gets to paddle his outrigger down to Oasis VII next week (my first!) for late Friday eve through Sunday afternoon!
And next Friday's my Birthday!!!
I'm positively Cheshire about it all!"

Got event tix, and barely secured a mooring for the outrigger: the Crowne Plaza Hotel - Mission Valley tells me they're now booked solid.

Is that a Sharpie in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?

I'm never happy to see YOU!
Actually,it's for writing limericks on your face
after you pass out!!!
Or maybe to sign the cast for your Broken arm....
:lol:

I totally missed the room crawl. I guess I should have written down the schedule and the room numbers ahead of time. I thought there was going to be like a printed schedule. sigh oh well, there is always next year. Not like I didn't find enough to drink on my own, LOL

I totally missed the Room Crawl too, but kudos to Shell for putting it together. This was my first Oasis, so me and my friends stayed with my Mom in Lakeside. Needless to say, next year I'll be staying in the hotel and hosting for the crawl...that looked like fun. Since I wasn't staying at the hotel, I didn't get to shop on Saturday and didn't make it back to the marketplace on Sunday...boohoo. :(

However, I had an absolutely wonderful time and met so many WONDERFUL TCers. The entertainment was fabulous (I'll be adding some new CDs to my collection). My two favorite events were Berry & Sven's symposiums...it just doesn't get any better than that!!! :)

Didn't get many pictures, but once I get the disposable camera cooked, I'll post what I have.

I'M READY FOR OASIS 2008!!!!
