You should probably post that in the Room Crawl thread if you expect to find yourself on the appropriate list. |

"Has the schedule for the symposiums been listed yet?" Otto's asked me to help arrange the symposiums this year, and yes there is no schedule yet. Don't worry, Cheeky, I personally triple-deluxe assure you that there will be lots of time to plan your party. Otto is locking down all the speakers and times and doesn't want to release the info until it's all rockin'-solid. Which is hard cause we're talking August here! I know about a few of the speakers and they're gonna be superb-yoola. When Otto has the schedule, he'll put it on the website and I'll post it here too. Lots of time for CheekyTikiGreenZombie cocktails! See ya soon. |

I have been to Voodoo Donut in Portland, and let me tell you it is spectacular! My friend and I were trying to work out how we could get them down here to SF cause I think it would be a huge success!! I got two donuts when I was there: a Memphis Mafia which is this ginormous thing with peanut butter and chocolate and lord knows what else, and some other messy thing with Butterfinger pieces, etc. They were SO good but so huge and sweet and it took me about a week to eat them both! oh yeah - you can get married there! :) |

WOW, I cant wait! This is going to be so much fun. I'm really looking forward to the music and movies they are having this year. This is going to be SWANGULO DESIGNS second time attending (vending) here and we had such a great time last year. I cant believe we did not know about this years before. I remember running into Otto last year the day after the event at the hotel with my family and he hinted about the theme and I told him he should get THE CRAMPS to play and he liked the idea but I think he did a great job with the line up. I am carrying on here but I'm exited about this. I just think people should be more pumped up about this event. Cant wait to see everyone...Later. "Remember me...?"Slumped on a park bench, at the bottom of the social heap, the drunken derelict turns his eyes to the heavens as the first flakes of snow begin to fall. "Remember me? I ordered the blonde,the firebird,the alligator shoes... Sombody's made a terrible mistake.-Tom Waits [ Edited by: mikefx 2008-06-05 22:56 ] |

This is so sad- why must there be such prejudice against the differently-alive? Perhaps we could enlighten people with a seminar on "Zombies- They're Just Like You, Only A Bit More Green." UNDEAD PRIDE! :) |

This will be my first Tiki Oasis. Got the tix, got the rooms- so what should I bring? I've seen helpful guides on how to "survive" events like Comic Con and Burning Man, including lists of helpful items to pack, wear, etc. Any veterans got suggestions? What's the food situation around there? Should I bring my own likker, glasses, limes? Thanks! |

And if possible, stop and fill it with ice BEFORE getting to the hotel. The poor ice machines don't stand a chance during the weekend. |

Thanks for the great suggestions! I'm road-tripping down from the bay area, so I'll pack all this stuff. For "nigthtime wear", do you mean fabulous evening fashions (smoking jackets, fezzes) or jammies? (Or both?) |

Yeah!!! What CheekGirl said. The hotel closed one restaurant last year, and the rest were understaffed. This made it difficult to eat and run to the next crawl room. SO PREPARE IN ADVANCE. Myke |

Thanks VERY much y'all. I'm going to start eating now to make sure I have enough body fat to absorb all the rum I'll be uploading. I'll bring a coffeemaker too, to make sure Mr. BonzoGal is adequately caffeinated! (And a CostCo sized bottle of Advil for the morning after. Speaking of which- I've heard about the room crawl- does any of them have a "morning after" room for Gatorade, Advil, ice-packs and bacon sandwiches?) :wink: |

Check out http://www.tikioasis.com Beyond the Oasis for restaurant info http://www.tikioasis.com/beyond.html also some folks ordered pizzas to be delivered. This is especially keen for late eats as the restaurant closes fairly early, and room service does take a while unless you pre-order (breakfast!) |

I'm pretty sure every room has a coffeemaker with decent coffee. Most rooms have fridges for your milk and snacks too. |

May I suggest Adam's Steak and Eggs on the opposite side of Hotel Circle from the Hanalei. Perfect for a hangover recovery breakfast...it's been there since the beginning of time. I remember my mom taking us there when I was a kid. Ruth's Chris (or even Black Angus) it ain't, but cheap steak and a Bloody Mary should cure what ails ya. |

Last year the hotel was forward thinking enough to have an outdoor grill going during most of the day. I sincerely hope that is the case this year. Taking advantage of the outdoor grill can save many and numerous headaches with room or restaurant service. I do hope the hotel staffs up for this thing. I can understand that last year caught them by suprise. T.F. |

We noticed the pool was salty as well. Good news, I don't think it was everyone taking a leak in the pool. The hotel keeps a salt water pool. |
