I'm sitting on a small goldmine of videos I took with my new toy. I just sampled a few of them and I think they all turned out ok and the audio doesn't appear to be blown out or anything. So please pray that I and my laptop return home safely Monday afternoon. There is still the Suzy's show today for me and Don's tonight.

I have a lot of thoughts to write down about yesterday but it will have to wait. In the meantime, thanks so much to Jeff for setting it up, I had such an incredible day yesterday. It was so cool seeing all the familiar faces again and meetings some new people.

Special thanks to John Blair and Matt Q for setting up the legends jam, I really enjoyed that and felt I was seeing a glimpse into history.

Thanks again to Matt Q for the incredible gear backline!

And yes Tim, THE SPACE COSSACKS RULE THE WORLD. HOLEE CRAP!!!!!!

Liebe Freunde, dear friends,

these past days have been the most intense days for us, both as a band and personally. we heard so many great bands, so many brilliant musicians and met so many interesting people, we can hardly keep track of everything that has happened. (I mean it, if I seem to have forgotten someone"s name, please forgive me...)

It is a great thing to be a part of this thing, the surf music world, or whatchacallit, but it took us a s a band on to a higher level. we will bring many wonderful emotions, memories and a few inspirational thoughts for our future shows back to Germany.
(Also we had, have and will have a few hangovers....)

Again, big thanks to Jeff the BigTikiDude and all the wonderful souls that have helped bringing this thing into existence.

See you at Suzie"s or some of the later shows...

Still smiling from yesterday. What an awesome day!

A few personal highlights:
1) Meeting some of those amazing legends! In particular, Jim Masoner of The Lively Ones, which is one of my all time fave bands. What an awesome guy! 2) All the bands were great, but I really dug Surfside IV and Atomic Mosquitos's energy and vibe. I hope to see them again soon. 3) Catching up with some of you guys that I know and meeting other members. Everyone is so friendly! 4) Space Cossacks blew my mind. I've had their CDs for years and Madeira's too, but seeing them live is a completely different animal. So awesome! Not to mention that Ivan is in a league of his own. Holy cow watching him play was THE highlight of the day.

Anyways, it was great hanging with you all yesterday. Last year I was a bit reverbed out and couldn't listen to surf for a few weeks afterward, but this time I CANT STOP listening to it!!!

Thanks to all of you that put this together. It's because of folks like you that this music is still alive, and for that, I am forever appreciative!

Good times! So cool to hang out with and chat with people in person from this site. Here's some of my pics from Saturday.

Jim Masoner of The Lively Ones and his Strat...

Clowning with Jim Masoner and my silver Jagmaster with P-90's. Maybe he was just being nice, but I was stoked that he noticed and thought it was cool!

Legends jam. Bob Spikard shows us how to play Pipeline with my drumming hero, Tim Fitzpatrick of The Lively Ones on drums...

Paying tribute to The Nocturnes with Jim Frias himself on sax and my buds Ran ,Danny and JP. Another major highlight for me... jamming with Jim Frias...

With Jim Frias, premiere surf sax man...

A major highlight of the show for me (and Garrett of The Ghastlies too) was legend Tom Stanton of The Crossfires playing his bands tune, "Out of Control". THEE tone, IMO.

Lorenzo from The Wadidli Riders singing KUK by The Astronauts. A real treat and a super cool guy and band...

The Finksville 5 with the "Don" of surf, Paul "The Godfather" Johnson...
