Tiki Oasis 16: Party on Monster Island – Epilogue
Summer is over, kids are back in school and we’re looking towards Halloween and the holiday season. For the most part, most of us have recovered from our Post-Tiki Oasis Depression what with the event and everything leading up to it ending a bit over a month ago. The memory of what many of us feel is the best weekend of the year carries on via social media, especially on the very lively Tiki Oasis Facebook Group where discussions of previous and future events are an hourly occurrence (if you are posting event photos on socials, please tag them #tikio or @thetikioasis).
Event organizers Otto & Baby Doe would like to thank all the sponsors, advertisers, and vendors that participate in Tiki Oasis; the bands and room party hosts for playing long and hard; the amazing vehicles in the car show; the 170 volunteers; our symposium hosts, our core staff for all the advance planning that makes Tiki Oasis happen with special thanks to our GM Tiki Jim Giddings for keeping it running smoothly; and thank you to all of the guests who have fun and enjoy the party!
What about next year you ask? Tiki Oasis’ 2017 theme is International Espionage and will take place August 10 – 13, 2017 at the Historic Bali Hai Restaurant and Crowne Plaza Hanalei Hotel in San Diego, CA. Stay tuned! www.tikioasis.com
