Posted on Jun 05 2012 12:11 PM Now that the convention is around 2 months away, I am going to be posting a lot of updates and information regarding the convention, (member Jam) etc. and also shows and other activities (fender tour)/ historic surf music spots) happening before and after the convention. So please keep yer eyes peeled to this thread. And if you have any questions, post them here publicly, so all can see, and maybe I can answer a question someone else has at the same time. — Jeff(bigtikidude) Top

UnsteadyFreddie Joined: Feb 28, 2006 Posts: 2979 Hell\'s Kitchen, NYC	Posted on Jun 05 2012 05:45 PM attention: JEFF "Big Tiki Dude" (and others) I just want folks to know I am most grateful, make that: "honored", whenever any of my videos are chosen (such as. for example, 9th Wave and The Intoxicators, above) to be used to represent what a particular band looks and sounds like "live". So, thank you....ALL !! Unsteady Freddie — http://www.facebook.com/unsteady.freddie Top

bigtikidude Joined: Feb 27, 2006 Posts: 25309 Anaheim(So.Cal.)U.S.A.	Posted on Jun 05 2012 07:27 PM I have been getting inquiries about the cost of the event, and what about pre-sale tix. We are not selling tix in advance, if you are coming from far away, (Nor. Cal. or out of state)and want to be assured a ticket to the event. Please e-mail me directly at Bigtikidude@yahoo.com, and I will put you on a list of guaranteed entrants. The Cost for the Convention this year will be 30 dollars. Considering that the cost of The Guitar Geek Fest is 55 or 60 dollars, and Tiki Oasis is between 70 and 105 plus dollars. I don't think that I am gouging the attendees. I hope that everyone understand that there is 2 European bands, and 4 bands that are coming from East of the Rocky mountains, and The cost of travel these days is not cheep. I would like to be able to pay the bands well to help cover those costs. 10 Hours divided by 30 dollars is 3 dollars an hour. Is that really that much? Thanks for understanding. — Jeff(bigtikidude) Last edited: Jun 05, 2012 19:34:26 Top
