eddiekatcher Joined: Mar 14, 2006 Posts: 2777 Atlanta, GA	Posted on Jul 29 2008 07:28 PM On my first trip to Diablo Canyon in the '70s I had arrived in San Francisco by air and spent the night drinking in the hotel bar. The next morning I woke up and was watching in wonder as the chain lamp above the bed appeared to be dancing around. I thought to myself, "Damn dude, how much beer DID you drink?" When I was at the front desk checking out, the clerk asked, "How did you like our little tremor this morning?" I'm glad that was it as I didn't really want to give up drinking beer..................Sure hope all are alright out there...............ed — Traditional........speak softly and play through a big blonde amp.

Thanks for the Positive vibes man, actually I didn't even feel it, I was outside by a pool, and didnt even notice it till the mexican house maid came out saying earth shake earth shake. I'm like huh, what? then looked up and saw one of those propane outside heaters swaying a bit. I dont freak out till they 7.0 or bigger. dont worry people it was a 5 . something nothing to worry about. — Jeff(bigtikidude) Top

My motorhome was rockin' last night with at least a 8.0 on the richter scale! I told that "Burnin' Mike Vernon" to take his new girlfriend elsewhere, but he didn't listen. Not to mention, him and Insect Dave drank all my Coors Light too! Those bastards!! B-B-O — Be careful following the masses. Sometimes the "M" is silent........................... Top

Posted on Jul 30 2008 09:31 PM This is a e-mail Paul Johnson sent out saying that he will be at the sg101 event, and explains about the Pounding Surf DVd they will be showing. Friends and surf music fans We¹ve got a very cool event lined up for you this coming Saturday (August 2); I will be at the day-long SURFGUITAR101.COM CONVENTION & SHOW which is being held at SUZY¹S BAR & GRILL in Hermosa Beach (1141 Aviation Blvd.). This is your opportunity to schmooze with top surf musicians and fans from all over the country (and beyond). From noon to 2 PM there will be tables set up for a casual ³swap meet² where equipment, CDs, T-shirts, etc., will be traded and sold (and where you can cruise around and chat with your favorite musicians...); this will be followed by a star-studded jam session that is sure to include some memorable performances by some of the genre¹s great players. I look forward to playing some tunes and displaying some of my memorabilia there; but for me, the highlight of the event will be the WORLD PREMIERE of the DVD (entitled ³POUNDING SURF!²) that I have been working on over the past couple of years. (In addition to being a featured musician and narrator, I also did the editing; accordingly, I'm delighted to have this opportunity to show and offer the finished product to everyone at the convention!) The DVD, which was the brainchild of drummer Bob Colwell with a little help from Matt Quilter, Dusty Watson, Tracy Longstreth and myself, includes TWO complete programs totaling nearly three hours in length: one part, ³THE ART OF SURF DRUMMING,² fulfills the original goal for a ³surf drum instructional video² with tips and lessons from four of the best drummers in surf music; out of this grew the companion project, ³A DRUMMER¹S GUIDE TO SURF MUSIC² a comprehensive documentary of the surf genre that includes a definitive history of how the music evolved over the years (highlighting both the ³traditional² and ³progressive² aspects of the movement), along with a lot of great performances and special features. While all of this is presented with a drummer¹s perspective in mind, the documentary WILL be of great interest to all surf music fans, and even to a general audience. We will be showing highlights from the DVD at our table from 12 2 PM I do hope you can be there to see this! — Jeff(bigtikidude) Top

bigtikidude Joined: Feb 27, 2006 Posts: 25603 Anaheim(So.Cal.)U.S.A.	Posted on Jul 30 2008 10:16 PM I posted this before, but nobody really commented. Tom, who is doing the "sounds of surf" documentary will be filming the bands, and also doing some audience shots. I hope that everybody is cool with possibly being on film. he will also be doing some one on one interviews with people to be possibly put in the film. Hopefully I can redo mine, as the one from Feb at Linda's party was not a good interview. I was dying sick and in a bad mood. it would be funny to see as a out take though. — Jeff(bigtikidude) Top

I think the last time I had a Coors of any sort was 1976. It's not like I haven't drunk some pretty embarassing stuff since then, though. Michelob, for example. Tastes a bit like mushrooms, except I like mushrooms. Top
