Hi

We are just trying to sort out next year with a few friends and have hopefully decided to do the Oasis (work depending) and have been on the phone to Crowne Plaza in San Diego and they have told me it is sold out already, is this true? I was just wondering if anyone else has had this problem, or are you all really organised and booked already? Does anybody know of any spare rooms? If you could let us know, that would be great.
Thanks.
Sue and Dave.

Otto books the entire hotel ahead of time. They are saying they are sold out because they are not allowed to sell the rooms until packages have been worked out, etc. He will post information when the hotel is ready to take your reservations.

Notice the line in the first message on this thread that says: "Tickets & hotel booking available in January."

Patience friends.

Hi

Thanks for that, and sorry, just on a mission tonight to get things organised, as need to sort out time off of work in advance!
Hope to see you all then.
Sue and Dave.

Yeah, the rooms are all blocked off for those dates at Oasis . When Otto makes it available, you will book your rooms only through the Tiki Oasis website. If you try booking on your own, the rooms will show up as blocked or unavailable to the reservation people at the hotel, so they will assume that those dates are already sold out. And besides, Otto works out a special deal for us Oasis attendees, so you will get a way cheaper room rate by booking through the website than trying to book on your own, especially during the summer.

Good to see that you are excited about going to Tiki Oasis, though. This year is going to be a great one, and I think we are all looking forward to it. Several of us have big plans for Oasis this year! See ya there!

August is a hard time for us in the UK to get off work - all the people with kids want it, as it's the school vacations, so those of us who work with people with kids are all keen to plan ahead of them and stake first claim for time off!!!!!

We will have patience, nonetheless... and plan our invasion over mai tais in London's Trader Vics this Saturday :)

count us in, playing or not we are there!
i must admit this does sound very spooky however....

I plan on staying at the hotel this year and hosting. Really looking forward to it and love the theme. :D

YEEEEEEEEEEEEHAW! TIKI OASIS! CANNOT WAIT! WHOOOOOOOOPee!

Time to start planning for Oasis again? Waaahoooo!
(as in Chief Wahoo not the fish)

Can't wait to get back out to Cali. It's winter here and I can't believe I decided to stay in PA til spring.

The Fink-Niks will be there in force selling , smootching , drinking and enjoying all there is to enjoy .

I really hope to see you all again at Oasis 08!!!
it may just spell financial ruin but im gonna give it a shot!
I really should join a frequent flyers program..

Spooky is right up my alley.
And zombies! Whoooo, don't get me started on zombies :D

They're delicious...AND, they eat brains!!!!!

Can't wait for this years Oasis! Last year was my first, and I had a blast. This years will be even better, knowing a bit more about what to expect. And all the extra events within the event.

:drink: I'm getting my brain suckin' straw ready!

The Martini Kings playing poolside was a sublime highlight of our personal T.O.7 experience. A repeat is well in order, eh Otto?

Cheers!

DITTOOOOO

Dead I am the one, Exterminating son
Slipping through the trees, strangling the breeze
Dead I am the sky, watching angels cry
As they slowly turn, conquering the worm

Dig through the ditches,
Burn through the witches
I slam in the back of my
Dragula

Dig through the ditches,
Burn through the witches
I slam in the back of my
Dragula

Dead I am the pool, spreading from the fool
Weak anmd want you need, nowhere as you bleed
Dead I am the rat, feast upon the cat
Tender is the fur, dying as you purr

Dig through the ditches,
Burn through the witches
I slam in the back of my
Dragula

Dig through the ditches,
Burn through the witches
I slam in the back of my
Dragula

Do it baby, Do it baby
Do it baby, Do it baby
Burn like an animal

Dead I am the life, dig into the skin
Knuckle crack the bone, 21 to win
Dead I am the dog, hound of hell you cry
Devil on your back, I can never die

Dig through the ditches,
Burn through the witches
I slam in the back of my
Dragula

Dig through the ditches,
Burn through the witches
I slam in the back of my
Dragula

Do it baby, Do it baby
Do it baby, Do it baby
Burn like an animal

Dig through the ditches,
Burn through the witches
I slam in the back of my
Dragula

Dig through the ditches,

Voodoo Zombie theme huh...

I found this description...

"Voodoo zombies were once normal people, but underwent zombification by or voodoo sorcerer, through spell or potion. The victim then dies and becomes a mindless automaton, incapable of remembering the past, unable to recognize loved ones and doomed to a life of miserable toil under the will of the zombie
master"

I know I felt like a voodoo zombie as I was going through the shopping area at the Oasis.

We have the time off from work booked. This new issue of Tiki Magazine has an article on Tiki Oasis 7. Dan and I had fun finding ourselves in the photo with the band on stage. We are the couple at the bottom of the photo to the side of the pole. The shows were great, tons of fun tiki to buy, a million friends to visit with, oh yeah the room parties were far out, rad, trippin, cool, all that sort of stuff, Wendy


Who else sees themselves in the photo?

[ Edited by: danlovestikis 2007-12-10 15:15 ]

"Who else sees themselves in the photo?"

I am not totally positive but I think I see my husband and I. We are up at the top of the crowd, standing under the two tiki torches. I think my arms are folded and I am in a orange dress while he is wearing dark colored shirt with a light stripe down the chest. I know that is a spot where we stood for a long time during the show and it does look like us in the magazine. Hard to tell though.

When I got the mag a few days ago I told hubby "hey, look, we are in Tiki Magazine!"

I am keeping an eye on the 2008 Oasis Tiki Blog it has good updates. :)

I am really excited to see "Exotica music expert DJ Jeff Chenault presents the history of Exotica music with an emphasis on Robert Drasnin" is on the agenda. I haven't seen that presentation, so really looking forward to it. :music:

Wow, Otto, hope you are able to get Voodoo Rum to sponser...maybe we can get some of those fabulous tequila bottles in California. :D

Yes, while everyone else is safely inthe pool (zombies can't swim, right?) The Zombie Kings, featuring the former members of the Martini Kings who will be sacrificed onstage in a Voodoo ritual hosted by witchdoctor Crazy Al, will perform poolside on Saturday

Fabulous Otto! The Voo Doo Kitty" is almost complete. It's bright green, like the evil possessed eyes of a cat, contains the some of the native juices of Haiti: Mango & Papaya along with a good measure of Voodoo Rum...it's quite tasty!

Perhaps I should prepare shots of my "Lilly Munster"? I created it at a bar in St. Pete last year just after the passing of Yvonne DiCarlo.

This tiki oasis business will be the death of me... oh well..

But what a way to go! :wink:
