Well gentlemen and ladies, it looks as if we now have an official date for Clarkston Surf Fest 2008! We are now making plans to hold this annual, no holds barred, serious inland surf music event on Saturday May 31st. This is the weekend after Memorial Day and we are hoping to sneak it in before the temperature and humidity (and rain) have a chance to figure out what we are up to.
The following bands have either officially signed on or are making noise about joining in.
The Broken Spokes (GA)
StratoGeezer (GA)
El Capitan and the Scallywags (GA)
Daikaiju (AL)
The Surge! (GA)
The Von Hodads (MO)
The Penetrators (AL)
The AcoustaSonics (GA)
The Buckrabbits (AL)
Killer Filler (NC)
The Mad Scientists (GA)
Rev Randy Duke (GA)
This year we are also planning to run dual stages to make the ambitious schedule run much smoother. There is even a rumor that Unsteady Freddie may also be able to join us once again.
Stay tuned for additional info as our plans become more definate
And it goes without saying......THANKS to Wayne Foster and the City of Clarkston GA for making it possible to put on this great surf music event.
May your plans now to join us in May!
Best Reverbs,
Eddie Katcher

This is great news! I will be there for sure! I am a little worried about the stage thing, will that mean 2 bands playing at the same time? Or just a faster transition from one band to another? Two bands at once would require me to make a choice bet one or the other and I could not handle that! 
Thanks

I think it's just for shorter breaks between bands since there's gonna be more of 'em!
NO REST FOR THE WEARY!!

Jet-
There are hotels all around it, man. They're right off of the highway. If you want to make specific plans, choose your hotel company, and search for Stone Mountain, Clarkston, or Decatur areas. All nice, all close.
You're going to have a great time!! I'm already itchin' to play!!!!
If you need more specifics, just let me or EddieKatcher or Richard or Jet Powers or WoodyJ or any of the Atlanta guys know, and we'll help you out.
