KG, Thanks for the info. I'm hopeing that my party will be small, but I want everyone to know that when it's announced, I'll need to know how many I can tell the hotel is coming. The back-up hotel has told me that Texas Tech plays at home that weekend, so they may fill up fast. I hopeing the Kona Kai in Dumas is even worth checking into. I have a weird vibe about it. When I checked the Dumas COC website, the hotel was listed as the Dumas Inn. And they boasted "100 newly decorated rooms." I fear that maybe the final nail in the coffin for the Kona Kai. I am having trouble coming up with a good proposal for the hotel (either one), about the even becoming a yearly tradition. I guess we will see how many people show interest in it first. I would like to have a tiki auction at the hotel, along with a small market place for carvers and other artists. I do know that the tikis that once stood guard at both places are probably long gone due to the "pagan influences it has" but I'm willing to try convince the GMs of the hotels to possibly display tikis on the property, permentaly. I say this b/c I have been in the "lounge' at the KoKo Inn here in Lubbock, and let me tell you, "honky-tonk" is over done in this damn state. I need a plan to help convert it back to a classy joint. But I guess that should be another thread, huh.
