Due to the room cancellation deadline there are a handful of rooms now available at the Crowne Plaza. Cancel your Motel 6 reservation and stay where the action is!*

https://resweb.passkey.com/Resweb.do?mode=welcome_gi_new&groupID=3272274

After you book a room we will make tickets available to you upon proof of reservation number

If you have purchased tickets and cannot make it to the show we will refund your tickets up until this Friday, August 5. After that you will not receive a partial or full refund for any ticket.

*2270 Hotel Circle North San Diego, CA 92108

Do not call the hotel for information, the 800 number for the hotel goes to a national call center who know nothing about the event and even the front desk workers tend not to know anything about the event and they cannot book rooms for the event weekend. These rooms are only available through the above website.

We still a few volunteer spots left. So check out the link below to the google docs spreadsheet.

Just posted a quick update on the Creating Tiki thread on how the goods are shaping up that I'm bringing to Oasis this year. Take a peek here:

And I'm super excited to announce that Babalu has been kind enough to procure me some mainland clay, and that I'll be sculpting demo tiki mugs in the VanTiki booth at Artis's Alley all weekend. Come and watch me push the clay! Stump me with challenging questions! Get your hands dirty with me! All in glorious 3D!

Mahalo,

Did I mention FREE pony rides on Friday from 11 am to noon!?! in the parking lot outside the front lobby

That's right, bring the kids for free entertainment, You can also ride the pony BUT you gotta be under 120 lbs

or get a photo op if you don't have any kids.

It won't be quite like this though

This is actually a picture I sent Otto of (in order) my uncle Howard (rip), my dad (Sam, RIP), and my cousin Bob. Great people who really knew/know how to have a good time. One of my favorite pics of my dad.

That's a great photo, thanks for sharing it. Wendy

We want to hire a couple of ladies for a couple of hours to help serve at a room party at Tiki Oasis this year. Swimwear a plus. Interested? Drop me a line. jk (at) jonathanknowles (dot) com.

People love Rudford's. I have never been that big of a fan. If it was me, breakfast. It's hard to screw up breakfast.

Just here to say I am wicked jealous of y'all. Wish I could be there. I'll start saving up now for next year.

So excited now that i officially am able to go to tiki oasis. Gonna be very special as it will also be my six month anniversary.

Do you need to borrow my "holster"

seriously, let me know. If not, then let me know if they want to do double duty and I will pay them to walk around with this and pass out shots!

another great example of the soothing sounds of Mariachi music

Getting incredibly excited for next week.
For those that want to hitch a ride, this is how I'll be making my way to San Diego:

Perhaps I should also consider a temporary name change to Comandante R.H. Falernum?

Yes Otto! Bring it and we'll recruit for double duty. Awesome!

Thanks!

Or we could always go this route. You have worn many fabulous outfits over the years.

On second thought. I am now highly motivated to recruit one of the ladies of Tiki Oasis.

Position still open anyone. Let me know. jk (at) jonathanknowles (dot) com.

I dunno Al, Meghan Mayhem looks pretty cozy in that tequila bandolier, not sure if she'd be willing to slip it off in favor of a lucha mask?

It can be transferred without a problem per Otto and the Crowne Plaza (They just won't issue a refund this close to the event!) Price only $390 for 2 nights! Up to 4 people allowed in room! Friday and Saturday nights.

If you have been on the fence and would like to have room with a view of most all the action, please contact (PM) me ASAP!

Kirby spoke up already in the other post or I would have been all over this. I'm there Wednesday - Monday and would have loved a pool view room (they only had quiet side when I made my reservations).

I hope our tiki brethren is OK and that all turns out fine.
