Every sunday morning after the convention I have a crazy type of hangover. Ears ringing. Head buzzing. Body aching a little. Hard to concentrate. I call it post-reverb-overdose syndrome. So, I'll be heading to the pier to get a little "Hair of the Dog", which will kill the hangover and bring back that beautiful euphoric buzz ((Convention review and pics coming soon. )) Last edited: Aug 12, 2012 09:57:29 Top

CaptainSpringfield Joined: Feb 26, 2006 Posts: 4387 Under the Sun	Posted on Aug 12 2012 07:36 PM Back at work and wishing I was at the pier show instead - a killer time yesterday into this morning as always. Great to see old friends and meet new ones, too many amazing performances Saturday to list - roll on '13! Brian wrote: Exotics photo by James Wilsey Wilsey showing up was awesome - would not complain at all if next year he's there onstage. — That was excessively violent and completely unnecessary. I loved it. Top

Ruhar Joined: Jun 21, 2007 Posts: 3909 San Diego, CA	Posted on Aug 13 2012 10:11 AM Another great event! Thanks so much Jeff, Kristena, Jon Paul, et al for putting this together. Jeff has this down to a science at this point! All the bands I saw were great. My biggest dissapointment is that I didn't get there in time to see The Intoxicators. El Ray really blew me away this weekend. Just an incredible band and some of the nicest people I've ever met in bandom. El Ray RULES!! I'm really looking forward to seeing Los Venturas again this Tuesday night at Bar Pink in San Diego. It was great to see everybody again!! — Ryan The Secret Samurai Website The Secret Samurai on Facebook Top

PolloGuitar Joined: Feb 26, 2006 Posts: 5090 San Francisco	Posted on Aug 13 2012 04:03 PM I couldn't write enough words to describe my feelings about the SG101Con. I'm so happy I decided to go, even though I had to be back in the Bay Area for a Sunday afternoon gig– I'm so sorry I had to miss the Pier show. Just some highlights, in no order-- Jon & The Nightriders reunion The Los Venturas / El Ray tag team, what an awesome pairing The rhythm section of the Exotics, incredible The power of the Intoxicatiors The Madeira are always incredible, but last Thursday's show at Forbidden Island with the focus on the melodic songs will be legend. And, they played my favorite DD song that night, "Taco Wagon" The new kid in the Insect Surfers, very interesting, I look forward to seeing how that works out. Mike Rosado and Scotty Peters winning the Fenders- perfect. Seeing so many cool people. I was lucky to have a few real conversations, I'm sorry I only got to say "Hi" to so many others. The joy of The Rumblers reunion brought a tear to my eye. When the drummer walked across the stage using a cane, then sat down and proceeded to KICK ASS! wow. And, the guy at the Greek/Mexican joint who ends every sentence with "my friend". I have eaten there once a year for the past 4 years, and look forward to seeing him next August. The members jam, always a highlight. Next year- The Mystery Men and The Aqualads !!!!!! And so much more. Well done, Jeff and all who helped put the show together. — Buy Speed of Dark @ Bandcamp Buy Spin the Bottle @ Bandcamp My Blog- Euro Tour Blog Pool Boys on Spotify INSTAGRAM Frankie & The Pool Boys on FB Pollo Del Mar on FB DJ Frankie Pool Boy on North Sea Surf Radio Top
The_Schu Joined: Aug 13, 2012 Posts: 15 Surf City via Sweet Home via The Good Land	Posted on Aug 13 2012 04:04 PM Hey all, just registered with SG101 after attending this weekend's great gigs at the Starting Gate and the HB Pier. My cousin flew in two years ago and I went with him to the 2010 convention. Had a great time then but this year something clicked and I was just blown away by the bands. He flew in again and we had a hell of a time. The Madiera's sand blown surf shred, The Exotic's International Export mystery music, El Ray's entertaining and energetic Americano fix (Cheese Cup, Justin Case; just a few of the classics), Los Ventura's Wah Wah Wah sunny psychedelia and European flavored surf, 9th Wave's mutli-instrumented 60's survey, The Intoxicators! Southern hoedown jammin' and The Dynotones OC atitude. Of course having some of the originals there for reunion jams is the icing on the cake! Those guys can still rock the lights out. I don't yet know all the people responsible for putting this together but I do know that the Big Tiki Dude was one of the driving forces so thank you Sir! Thanks to everyone else involved and I'll definitely be there next year. Top
