Though great in theory, the costing reality of the Catalina Tiki Fest looms heavy and the logistics even heavier. Sadly, we're passing on the project. Lodging is expensive, shipping the necessary equipment & swag - expensive. And getting to & from Catalina (even with a group discount approx. $60/person r/t) is expensive. We've always worked to make our Tiki events fun & affordable. Though the fun factor is there, the affordable factor is not.

QWith the economy and unemployment the way it is, that's probably a good decision. Unfortunately.
