At Foothill College in Los Altos Hills. (Although I do not think the college cafeteria is quite up to Canter's..actually it is not up to most anyplace, pretty terrible. Hmmm, must plan August LA eating schedule.) THANKS!!! Mary Brian wrote: Please share this link with everyone: http://surfguitar101.com/news/story/874/ Top

Can't wait! I'm not sure how you know this, but odds are we won't be in the room I'm booked in now, as I got a single and now we need a double. Though if there are no doubles, we may have to get a cot or something. 48 hours with me, boy aren't you lucky. — Danny Snyder Latest project - Now That's What I Call SURF _ "With great reverb comes great responsibility" - Uncle Leo I'm back playing keys and guitar with Combo Tezeta Top
Brian Joined: Feb 25, 2006 Posts: 19116 Des Moines, Iowa, USA	Posted on Jun 23 2013 06:37 PM I think I added KFJC Mary. The first time I tried I think it tried to add the location of the transmitter tower? Way out in the hills or something weird. Ha. — Site dude - S3 Agent #202 Need help with the site?

DannySnyder Joined: Mar 02, 2006 Posts: 10966 Berkeley, CA	Posted on Jun 23 2013 06:41 PM All of you with reservations at Don's, call in soon to confirm. I just called to change to a double (which I couldn't do) and they realized they forgot to add my name to the roster, even though they had it down as a reservation. Whew, that would have been ugly. — Danny Snyder Latest project - Now That's What I Call SURF _ "With great reverb comes great responsibility" - Uncle Leo I'm back playing keys and guitar with Combo Tezeta Top

Hopefully it helps people navigate The weekends festivities and the So. Cal. Freeways. Give yerself plenty of time. Traffic can be nasty sometimes. And the earlier you get to a show. The more time you have to talk to The bands or other surf fans. — Jeff(bigtikidude) Top

Also, how is parking at HB on Sundays? — Sean Double Crown Records www.doublecrownrecords.com Surf CD's / Vinyl / Fanzines / DVD's The Surf Junkies - Stranger Danger CD-EP Hipbone Slim aka Sir Bald - Wiggin' Out With CD Continental Magazine - Issue #35 w/28 Song CD Top
Brian Joined: Feb 25, 2006 Posts: 19116 Des Moines, Iowa, USA	Posted on Jun 24 2013 07:18 PM Sean, maybe I've been lucky but the traffic hasn't been bad in the last 4 times I've been there. And I even drove up from San Diego 3 times. But like Jeff says you never know how it is going to be. My parking experiences at the pier: either you have to get their very early, or just pull into a parking garage and be done with it (I got this tip from Tim - HBKahuna). Otherwise you spend lots of time looking for street parking inland. You end up paying $15 for the day in the garage. If you are staying at Don's maybe we can carpool down there. — Site dude - S3 Agent #202 Need help with the site?

bigtikidude Joined: Feb 27, 2006 Posts: 25144 Anaheim(So.Cal.)U.S.A.	Posted on Jun 24 2013 07:48 PM Travel from starting gate to after party is about 10 miles or so. About 30 min. Streets is the best way. The key to travel in So. Cal. Is knowing where yer going Ahead of time, then going and getting parking ASAP. Also stay close to the shows. Don't get a motel near LAX airport. Stay in OC and drive to motel at night. Avoid the 405 freeway if at all possible. It sucks period. Note: Dons turf motel, 1 block from the starting gate, is 3/4 booked. I suggest booking ASAP. 562-431-6563 Parking at Huntington Beach isn't bad if ya get there early. I suggest ya get there by 10 am. Then grab a bite on Main Street If you need breakfast, and haven't eaten yet. But pier show starts at 11 am sharp. Penetrators set is first. Parking in the lot by the pier is 15 bucks for all day. Or you can park in-land about 5 or more blocks For free. If anyone has any more questions, Please ask away. — Jeff(bigtikidude) Top
