Wow, man. If San Diego were destroyed by terrorists on New Years Eve, you'd really regret not making the trip down. Us same ol' people will be having a blast, though! Sometimes I'm really glad that LA is a two hour trip away........keeps me from leaving Paradise too often.

I would go if this were on a Saturday. It's just not worth it to me to take a day off of work and drive all the way from LA to San Diego on a Friday just to spend a few hours at the Bali Hai to see the same old people I pretty much just saw at Tiki Oasis.

Wow, that wasn't very nice. The "same old people"? I hope you are kidding.

Sea world rocks!!
They have speakers in all the bushes playing music, specifically, my favorite band the Rippingtons!!!!
I was there during the summer while my family went on things I did not want to go on, sitting in the sun drinking Budweiser select from a metal bottle, and listening to the best smooth jazz band ever. I was super relaxed and having a good time!
If people are going down there for a couple of days, make sure to check out Paradise Point! It is very close to Sea World, and is a place I have posted about. In the 70's it used to be called vacation village, and it is an entire tropical island with a tiki bar. There are beach bungalos you can rent (It's actually one big hotel) amid tropical walkways and streams. This is the place they should be having Tiki Oasis!

I thought this thread was about the TikiMagazine Art Show...
I know Chongolio and TikiShark already have work ready for the show...
saw the pieces on their Posts.....
I'd love to see what the rest of the crew is cookin up for this Rockin Show!
Hey Nick! Should we post pics of our finished paintings for the show or
should we let the crowd beg and salivate for another 5 weeks?
Whaddya think?
It'd liven up this thread more than the Sea World arrangements...

Ken,
If the artists (you guys) want to start posting art to salivate, go ahead. I have no problem. Don't show all of it, though. Leave a little for the art show.

I say let them wait till the last week . Then all the people who wont commit will see a little teaser and realize that this is the biggest collection of tiki artists Ive ever heard of in one room .Then they will all start making last minute plans to go because its the only tiki function at this time of year .They will all develop the tiki flu on Nov. 1st and cant go into work on Friday .This show is gonna be amazing !
Hey , does Shamu still do that crazy splashing show????

Sea World also plays a ton of Jump Blues like Louis Jordan & Floyd Dixon, although they go a little heavy on the Jump Blues Revivalists like Brian Setzer Orchestra & Joe Jackson.
As for beer, check out the Brewmasters Club and free tasters in the Hospitality building.
And of course if it was still the '70s you could eat in the Hawaiian Punch Pavilion...

Luck has me in northern OC the week of this. I'm driving across 1/2 the country to help my best friend move to his new job.
I'd love to come down and check out the event, art and talk story.
I'm pretty familier with North County SD but haven't been any further south than Pacific Beach in the last 15 or so years. What's the easiest way to get to the Bali Hai from the OC?
And what are the costs for the event... parking/admission?
Any info would be appreciated!

Well, considering I live in London and that I've never been to San Diego and haven't been to California since the late 90s ... and that there will be artists there from the UK (Tiki Racer), Hawaii (Chongolio and Tiki Shark), and Georgia (Derek) and elsewhere(?), there should be plenty of not-so-same-old action.
Really looking forward to this event!
