Next year in Surf City, Tim! All I can say is that I had a really fabulous time, and I want to thank a lot of incredible bands and extremely nice people who made this happen. Jeff, I really don't know how to thank you and the people you called upon to put this together. I felt like I died and went to heaven. I felt like something from a Roth cartoon, standing on its trailing tongue in a pool of sweat, or maybe it was drool, and babbling. I think the babbling part was real, unfortunately. I don't know how to pick a high point out of a continuous high like this weekend, but I'll name two of mine that no one else has mentioned yet:

First, Thank You to everyone involved. Remarkable weekend that will render all other shows into the realm of the mundane. Partially kidding of course! |

I leave in a few hours, and I am going to safeguard my camera with my life. I have about 100 or 200 photos? Can't wait to upload them and share them. I'm still feeling the love, it was such a phenomenal trip. I'm glad I wasn't the only one who was feeling mushy during that Madeira moment Jeff. It was an awesome experience. I also want to thank all the bands that came and played, especially at the convention portion. Carol was kind enough to bring some SG101 t-shirts, which we sold for $10 a piece, trying to unload them. We didn't sell a lot, but I stuffed all the proceeds in the tip jar. I hope it helped. I also learned that one of JR (Outerwave's) speakers got blown. I am so sorry about this. I will be glad to donate future t-shirt sales to JR to help him get a new one. I know those JBL's are expensive. I'll reopen the store when Carol and I get back and we have a new inventory count. I am now bracing myself to deal with the airlines. —Site dude - S3 Agent #202 "It starts... when it begins" -- Ralf Kilauea |

I also had the privilege of attending the filming of The Madeira. I can't thank Ivan enough for extending me the invitation. It was a day I will not soon forget. Tom is creating an incredible piece of work!! Ivan is much more than an iconic guitarist/songwriter. He, like all great Economists, is a student of history. His knowledge and perception of the history of both original and modern instrumental music is profound. Beyond that, he is one hell of a nice guy. Very down to earth. We are lucky to have him in the surf community. —Ryan Last edited: Aug 06, 2008 10:16:53 |

Count me in for a donation. Outerwave are some of the coolest guys around and it was amazingly generous of them to offer those amps to us without knowing how we might abuse them. That was the first time I ever played through a blonde Showman, what a rush, and to get such a great response from the big crowd, it was overwhelming. Nice review Ben, I have forgotten a few things but it is all coming back now. Trode, you maniac! |

Thank you Danny, it means a lot to hear that from such great players. To look out and see guys like you, Ryan, my biggest heroes Ivan and Dave Wronski, and so many others was a little more than I'm used to. I loved it. |

I saw plenty of cameras, professional & amature. Just a question of when & where it shows up. |

BTW, I forgot to add that DP rocked on the bass, I really enjoyed watching him play. |
