I am still talking to people about coming to it, and being involved.

Very cool - I'll be planning to drive down from NorCal - surf's up!

Hey Jeff,
Thanks for your efforts! It looks like this is going to be an event to remember.
I think it's a really good idea to have bands in the afternoon and evening. There are a lot of us coming from parts unknown and far away. We are coming for 1 reason, our love for the music so the more the better.
Like I've said before, we don't get to be around too many cats that are into Surf music around here, hell, we are happy just to run across someone in the crowd that knows what surf music is!
Anyway, it is going to be great fun seeing all our friends in So Cal and meeting a bunch more!
Keep up the good work !

I love these all day events... it's only a two hour drive from San Diego (traffic willing), and it is often the case where we drive 4-5 hours (total) to see a 3 hour show. And I'm only coming from San Diego. It'll be fun to meet so many SG101-ites. Thanks for doing all the leg-work!!

I would love to be there. My expecting wife is due a couple weeks prior, so not the best time to bail.

If any of you are like, well, millionaires, then Myself and Stan Diego would love to attend. Rolling Eyes

We just need the flights and accomodation paying for. Shocked
And no funny business. Laughing

Whever there is reverb there is good times. This sounds way good. Jeff, I have lots of 60's surf footage on DVD and some VHS. Let me know if you can use it for the event.
I'll be there.
Dan

Is that too much reverb?

I'll bring my giant Lava Grande lava lamps...
