TIKI OASIS 2008 Aug 14-17 Voodoo Zombie Island

I can't checkout either. Same result. I emailed Otto to let him know.

So in all this chatter of Tiki Oasis, and room reservations, and room parties, and cool vending schtuff, I have NOT heard one word about the zombies! And I don't mean as in the libation. I mean the chase you down, eat your brain zombies! What will be in store for us as we immerse ourselves in a Voodoo Vacation on Zombie Island? Will there be slow moving zombies? Or fast moving zombies? Are slow moving zombies so slow moving because they are old farts? Are fast moving zombies just a bunch of bratty KoolKids? Is there a rivalry amongst the two tribes, like The Sharks vs. The Jets?

I may be confused about zombies, but I do know one thing: They are coming to get you, Barbara!

They are even DownUnder.

The Zombies have been busy packing their suitcases for their vacation on VooDoo Island

(In the event that our room number changes, no-one will be notified! Just follow the smell of Fresh Brains and Zombie Punch!)

Will there be a shuttle bus from the hotel to the Bali Hai on Thursday night? If so, how does it work? Just hop on or do you need to buy a spot in advance?

Generally, you stagger out from the depths of the Bali Hai to find a bus waiting outside. You can then plop your alcohol-saturated carcass anywhere on the bus that has an empty seat and they will get you safely back to the hotel.

There will be ZOMBIES, oh yes there will!

Very interesting questions ya got there Bill!

I'd imagine the Zombies that are fast moving are the ones that bit and ate the brains of crackheads, while the slow moving zombies....well......the old farts theory is pretty good, unless someone else can bring up a good point?

Rivalry tho? Hmmmmm.....

"You're ignorant!" - Barbara
that movie is a riot!

I've seen many REAL Zombies and I absolutely expect to see more at Oasis.

Contrary to popular belief, zombies do not come out at night. They can usually be seen stumbling around shortly after the sun comes up. Wandering around with glazed looks in their eyes not looking for fresh brains, instead moaning for something called "cof-E". I suggest avoiding them - its easy to get rid of them - they do not like bright light and loud noises. Most seem to wander off by mid morning but occasionally you will see one around noon or later. Luckily there is a cure - its a concoction who's main ingredient is "the hair of the dog". Other cures have been tested but HOD is the most effective. If you see a zombie - and they can be quite horrifying - point them quickly towards the bar and let the infection start all over!!

yes, there will be a limited number of tix at the door. We usually hold out around 20 tix so if you purchase on Thursday you will be fine, Friday, iffy, Sat, probably not

will most definately take 2 tix thurs night... thanks Otto

Hi All!

As for our little combo...

The Maikai Gents Featuring The Mysterious Miss Mauna Loa (aka the innocent victims stranded on Voodoo Zombie Island) will be performing our zippy, lovely, romantic, lively and fun brand of hapa haole Hawaiian tunes on Saturday, August 16 at Tiki Oasis.

2:00-3:00pm We'll be poolside at the Crowne Plaza Hotel. Pull up a chaise lounge and slather on the tanning butter as you bask in our hot 'n sunny melodious melange.

6:00pm Join us as we take to the mainstage with a set of sweet as well as creepy new tunes, some of which which will appear on our upcoming new recording! Be the first to experience what we're cooking up (it's more than fish & poi!).

Be on the lookout for us at the various room parties, too. In fact, if you're hosting a room party, we'd love to play for you. Drop an e-mail or private message and let's make it happen!

Aloha and mahalo.

Sorry if this has been covered before. I am being lazy and don't want to go through 21 pages of posts. I am curious, what time can we start showing up at the hotel on Friday? I was thinking around noon but maybe I should hold off till later?

...what time can we start showing up at the hotel on Friday?

The party starts 6:45am Friday morning in Room 3974374-B. Bring swim flippers, 120 proof rum, peanut butter and earplugs.

Hi All!

Well, I didn't want to overwhelm everyone with all the wonderfulness at once! So, here goes...

Come on out for the annual session of Iuka Grogg's Ukulele Fantasy Camp! Wether you've never strummed or are a virtuoso, there's much fun to be had from 2-3pm in the atrium at the Crowne Plaza. It's free and all you need is a ukulele! Celebrity camp counselors, too! Many smiles, many smiles. Enjoy!

For the Thursday shuttle to the Bali Hai,
you can buy your tix ahead of time with a credit
card on line at

http://www.sandiegoperforms.com/ARTSTIX/onsale_today.html

scroll all the way down past the list of plays to get to the
Aug 14th Shuttle Listing.

We will also be in the Crowne Plaza lobby from 4pm to 6pm
and you will be able to get the tix when boarding the bus,
if available. Mahalo!

I could see myself speedswimming over the Atlantic and running across America to be able to join, buuuuuuut, it might be easier with an air-o-plane……!

– el Stingray –

I hope I set this up correct! It would be cool to have everyone link their photos on Flickr so after the event we can easily check out eachothers cool shots!

Look forward to the fun times!

Hey Dave can we get a little peek at the new stuff?

So I promised a sneak peak at the trophies.

I won't show them in their full glory until Oasis,

But,

Here is a glimpse of what went into making them...

It started with a small mountain of hand carved and painted Bones...

Add in fragments of Coffins pushed up out of the dirt by the living dead...

and who could resist a few shrunken heads...

ahh, yes, and a Voodoo doll or two...

topped off by a bit of humorous art..

Good luck to all who enter the contests!

Cheers!

Lastly, a Forbidden Island Limited Edition Fugu mug. What better vessel to drink your Cask 23 out of while wearing your new green Enchanted Tiki Room Host Shirt?

Anyone interested can send me a PM, or look me up in the NorCal Suite, Room 1849. Cheers!
