Sorry to hear that TikiCyn. I noticed the room safe but elected to leave my laptop and other valuables just sitting on the bed. I figured I was in Palm Springs (not exactly a hotbed of urban crime) and surrounded by hundreds of like-minded souls. Why would I need to use the safe? It guess it just shows you can't be too careful no matter where you are.
On another note, Tiki Caliente has been GREAT !! I never experienced it when it was at the Caliente Tropics, but I thought the Travelodge was an appropriate venue. Mid-century vibe, renovated rooms, and a comfortable layout that was very conducive for socializing and enjoying the great music and vending.
Thanks Rory !!

Tikicyn, going the extra mile and getting a grand membership here so we wouldn't automatically think you were either the owner or affiliated with the caliente tropics was a nice touch!

The thing is, Rory put together an excellent event. I looked around as our band was playing, and people were having a great time! Smiles were abundant! The weather was perfect! I can't think of even one negative thing to say except I wished I had a room and could have made a weekend out of it.
But I heard some things that bothered me while I was there. heard the cops were called due to excess noise...and of course like everyone I assume it was the fine folks at Caliente next door that were doing that. Then I see this post from a first time poster, and it is such an obvious set-up I had to say something. I like Rory a lot. He is a great guy, who by creating an event like this is doing a LOT for the world of tiki...and I am 100% sure he tried as hard as he could to have the event at Caliente tropics...but they did not want us! Did'nt want to support the tiki community! So what next? Call the cops. Make a post suggesting staff at the travelodge were looting their own rooms. Anything to cast a shadow on the event.
Well, if I am wrong about that...I do apologize...but something makes me think I am not wrong about this. And Karma is a bitch!

So what happened at the Caliente Tropics? I heard their A-Frame over the entryway collapsed yesterday because a support beam buckled? Good thing the Tiki Caliente was held at the Travel Lodge.

What a great weekend! That was one of my all-time favorite stages to play, overlooking the pool! The crowd at Caliente was really really great! Thanks again for supporting The Hula Girls!
The cops being called when we were playing was ridiculous. I really hope that they fix the a-frame at The Tropics hotel and the place succeeds and is profitable, but I keep getting the feeling that those owners were the ones who kept calling the cops all weekend. We still had a blast regardless though!
The posters that I printed are now available at our web store at: http://thehulagirls.bigcartel.com/product/tiki-caliente-iii-poster
Can't wait for next year!!

WOW ! What a great event Rory. We had such a great time. Everything went off well. I'm overwhelmed with all the enthusiasm over my foam and wood tiki decorations. The compliments were heard all weekend. Thank you all again. I ended up breaking my pinky toe prepping for the pool horse race with Mark Vikander but we still had a blast. I can't wait to see the video. No one saw that race coming. Now let's get some pics up to show everyone. I also have about 10 official pendants left to sell for $15 plus shipping. I have 3 colors. Purple , sand and black. They have sand mixed in with the resin to make them look like stone. PM me if you want one. Mahalos , Ray
