Posted on Mar 27 2012 04:02 PM Thanks for all the responses, I want to again, thank Jonpaul and Kristena for all their hard work, as I am a total goob, and don't know squat about computer stuff. Thanks again to all of the sponsors, they are helping to make this happen, and helping to step it up towards a more professional event. also The Starting Gate for letting us do the event there. It may not be the Anaheim convention center, but its a big room, and free. So please EAT,DRINK, and Be Merry there, and support the VENUE by buying food and drink there, and tipping your waitresses. And to Quilter Amplifiers, Meaning Matt Quilter,providing his Showmans for us, and for Patt Quilter for providing the PA. Please spread the word about this show. I really want to sell out this year. meaning that we can move the show to Normal hours the year after. Like 2 pm to midnite. and also If we sell out, I can feel really good, and pay the bands, many of them coming from very far away, (some decent money). — Jeff(bigtikidude) Top

Posted on Mar 29 2012 10:59 AM Fady, I know that I didn't get to meet, and talk to you until sunday evening jam session at Dons, but it was great that you came out here for the show, and I am glad you had such a great time. Hoping you can again this year. — Jeff(bigtikidude) Top
bigtikidude Joined: Feb 27, 2006 Posts: 25540 Anaheim(So.Cal.)U.S.A.	Posted on Apr 03 2012 08:32 PM I got the flyers last night from Jason at Kustom Deluxe Printing. http://www.kustomdeluxeprinting.com/ they look great! I will have them with me at every surf show I go to, so if you want 1, or some to pass around let me know. I had 5000 printed, so there is plenty. If any of the bands want some, contact me at Bigtikidude@yahoo.com and gimme yer mailing address, and how many you want/need, and I will send them out saturday or next monday. — Jeff(bigtikidude) Last edited: Apr 03, 2012 20:33:24 Top

Tuck Joined: Sep 02, 2006 Posts: 3166 Denver, CO	Posted on May 01 2012 05:48 PM What's Don's (the motel) like? I've usually stayed at a Super 8 in Wesminster just north of the intersection of Beach Boulevard & the 405. It has worked out to be a compromise between Huntington Beach and points further north, especially since Jeff hooked up with the Starting Gate. It's a few miles up Beach from HB and a few miles down it from Katella. It's a pull to the Purple Orchid, or Suzy's, but decent for Long Beach, Seal Beach, etc. And it's good price compared with the super nice beachfront places in Huntington Beach, which is how I picked it to start with. However, it's not that interesting an area and I'm the only one there from the convention, so I'd be open for a change. It'd be nice not to have one of those fortified front desks. (The area really doesn't seem to warrent it, but you wonder!) Don's would be further from HB, but not much, and about the same or closer to everything else. Top

Posted on May 03 2012 03:00 PM Tuck, it's a mid century motel, I haven't seen the inside of the rooms, but some SG101 attendees from the past have stayed there and said its more than fine. and considering that its within walking distance from the starting gate, that means that you don't have to fight for parking at the big Sat. show. And there is so much going on the whole weekend, you will mostly be only sleeping there so it doesn't need to be a Hilton hotel. — Jeff(bigtikidude) Top
