Is the event one day shorter next year? This year was June 27-30 (includes Thursday). Next year is June 27-29 (no Thursday). I'd like to know whether there will be a Thursday night party so I know whether to book a room Thursday night. Mahalo. |

Thursday is the Kick-Off Party and a chance to take advantage of the awesome timelessness of the Whispers Ball Room at the Tiki Resort.... It's like Tiki Meets Disco Meets Weddings Meets Convention Center... and that doesn't even really begin to accurately describe it. If your travel plans allow, you most definitely want to arrive on Thursday, or as much earlier as you can. We don't yet know what the party theme will be, only that it will be fun and make you laugh and most likely make you dance. |

Or it could be a boat cruise. Or a retro bowling night. Or whatever else the fevered brain of Bargoyle comes up with. -Rev |

The Cruise last year was fun! Our Captains.... But the Bowl-A-Rama the year before was quite a bit of fun as well.... And who could forget the Prom from the year before that? So if your travel plans allow do plan on being at the Tiki Resort for the Thursday Party.... you won't regret it. Much. |

For those of you not on the mailing list, here are the latest ramblings from our old Uncle Bargoyle. AloooooooooooooooooHA!!! I hope the new year finds everyone safe and sound, and hopefully above single digit temperatures at last! Perhaps the memories of Ohana past and the threat…errr, promise, of Ohana future will keep you warm. No? How about a Hot Toddy? Not doing it huh? Ok fine, you can turn on the space heater, but only for 20 minutes and make sure that door is shut tight! We’re not paying to heat the outdoors! So, Ohana. What news have I about Ohana? Glad you asked. Big news actually! First, Ohana tickets will be on sale during the last week of January…lets say, Tuesday the Twenty-Eighth at 10:22AM, because I like alliteration. Tickets this year will be $90 each, and that’s still an ALL INCLUSIVE ticket. Yes, that includes dinner on Saturday night, the Polynesian show, access to the vendors, the silent auction, games, all the bands, the room crawl, amazing swag bags, and all the late night/mid-day/early morning shenanigans you’ve come to expect, plus a few surprises. And YES we’re doing a Thursday kickoff event again this year but we’re still putting the final touches on that, so I don’t have a price point yet (but it’ll be cheap again and chock full of food, drinks, music and awesome), so if you can get out a day early, I promise to make it worth your while. Have I ever let you down yet? Don’t answer that! I’m happy in my bubble of denial. Ok, so a quick recap… tickets.. $90, includes everything, 1/28/14 10.22am EST on the website ( http://www.LuauAtTheLake.com ) Kickoff hopefully for sale at the same time, probably in the $20 to $30 area, more info to come on that front VERY soon. VERY VERY soon. And remember, the event WILL and DOES sell out. Just having a room at the Tiki does NOT get you into Ohana. You need a ticket, and unfortunately we can only accommodate so many people, so be sure to buy yours early!! Which leads me to the other big news…. We’d love for OHANA: Luau At the Lake to be bigger, but the venue can only hold so many people. We hate turning folks away every year. It makes me feel bad, and it effects the money we raise for the Easter Island Foundation (Don’t forget, Ohana is for charity!). And while I wish we could have Ohana every weekend as some have suggested, just to make sure everyone gets a chance to enjoy it… well, that would kill me. Plus, I’m crazy, but not THAT crazy! So, as a compromise, we’ve decided to add a SECOND annual OHANA, starting Spring of 2015. This will allow more folks to experience the wacky awesome aloha that you guys bring, raise more money for charity, and keep the party going just a little longer each year. That’s just full of win!! Yeah, you read that right. Starting spring of 2015, OHANA: Luau By The Sea will launch in beautiful, bright, sunny South Florida. We’re already hard at work on it and will have more details to release soon. I think we’ve already got a facepage and everything set up, so you can follow the developments there ( https://www.facebook.com/OhanaSea ), or you can always join the discussion over at the F.O.M. by visiting us at http://www.fraternalorderofmoai.org As always, I can't thank you enough for your continued support, and we’ll see ya at the Lake! (And next year, by the Sea as well!!!) -Bargoyle ps. Just in case it wasn't clear, we're talking about TWO Ohanas every year starting 2015. We're still going to do our Lake George thing at the Tiki every year until we wear out our welcome. Who loves ya? |

Lots of news coming out from Ohana this week so watch your mailbox if you are on our mailing list or stop by the Facebook page: http://facebook.com/OhanaLuau Band news, contest news, and maybe something more? Who really knows what sort of craziness Bargoyle will be serving up. If you are waiting to buy tickets, don't, there are maybe a dozen left. -Rev [ Edited by: rev_thumper 2014-04-21 17:12 ] |
