pavlovsdog Joined: Nov 22, 2010 Posts: 281	Posted on Aug 16 2012 12:30 PM Pretty nervous about going tonight. Never been to a surf show/event, don't know anyone from the forums, going by myself, I'm driving down from L.A. to San Diego for the first time, and I haven't been to a show since 2007. PM me if you'd like, I'd be down to meet some of you from the forum. Hell I'll buy you a drink. Top
Sofa_King Joined: Jun 07, 2012 Posts: 93 Carlsbad Ca.	Posted on Aug 16 2012 01:20 PM Pav, I hear were you are coming from but don’t be nervous. I almost always go to shows by myself. Tonight will fun. There will be A LOT of people there and it will seem like everyone knows everyone else except for you. Just remember the type of people who attend this are generally open, laid back and willing to engage in conversation you just may have to start it. Have a safe drive down. SK — SSS Agent #178 Top

I didn't even do any room parties or symposiums. But had fun, and the bands on the main stage were awesome. — Jeff(bigtikidude) Top

The bands at the room parties were great too (of course, if I'd have had the early-morning DJ responsibilities that you had...I probably would have missed them too). Got to thank the fellas from Thee Swank Bastards for hosting two great nights. It was great to see The Love Me Nots and The Creepy Creeps play live in a hotel suite!

brandonio Joined: Jan 23, 2007 Posts: 885 Indianapolis, In	Posted on Aug 25 2012 10:28 AM I had the time of my life @ Tiki Oasis,and I couldn't have picked a better year to go.The Exotic& Espionage theme was perfect,and I simply don't know how it could possibly be topped.Next years theme "Hulabilly" should be interesting,but I doubt it will be nearly as cool.I'll be back nonetheless.The biggest surprise was how amazing Los Venturas were @ the car show Saturday afternoon. I hung out with their drummer Pieter during Thee Swank Bastards,and the Exotics sets and I must say that cat was the coolest,and super friendly.Between the music,art,cool people,costumes,and the over all cool atmosphere.Tiki Oasis was well worth the money spent making my trek to San Diego.It was really nice to see my fellow Midwesterner Jet at this event as well,he made me feel a little more at home.It was also nice to finally meet Bigtikidude and Tiki Tena too. — Reverb, It's A Way Of Life!

I don't usually like to post bad reviews, and I have seen the Barbwires before, and they were awesome then. But their performance at Tiki Oasis left me and some others a bit disappointed. I don't know if it was because of the setting, or them playing along with the tape of backing tracks, or the sound man not getting the sound just right. Or playing on borrowed equipment. But it just didn't gel well. Not bad, but not amazing like I was hoping for. I stayed for the whole set. Other surf fans left to go to a room party with the Exotics. I think trying to do something as ambitious as what they were trying to do at this show, shoved in the middle of crazy tiki oasis stage schedule was a bit hopeful it would go off well. That is why Tikiyaki Orchestra has asked to play on thurs. nite. the 2 times they played Oasis. Its Just them, and they can take a long time setting up, and doing a proper sound check. I really like the Barbwires a lot, and am not happy to post negative reviews. I hope it doesn't come off as I am trying to slag them. Just reporting to a question that was asked. — Jeff(bigtikidude) Last edited: Aug 25, 2012 11:43:43 Top

NeedsMoreReverb Joined: Dec 12, 2007 Posts: 318	Posted on Aug 25 2012 11:38 PM My second Tiki Oasis, really a fun time. Not sure how to describe, seems to be one of those events that becomes what you make it. Something for almost everyone. The spy theme seemed perfect, almost something they should do every time. I tried to attend some room parties, only caught the end of the Creepy-Creeps and paid a quick visit to John-O at the end of his party. San Diego was hotter than usual and I was sweating up a storm during the Creepy-Creeps plus it was so crowded in the room I could barely see them. I would like to catch a show by them in a club. The Exotics were awesome, I missed the room party but caught their main set. Wish they were out here in California so I could see them more often, but at least saw them three times in the last two weeks. Los Venturas were great with two sets for the car show. I've never seen the Barbwires before, I really loved their set, lots of energy and the crowd was into it. Great guitar playing too. Top
