It’s like a big family reunion jam packed with killer music from start to finish. It’s pretty much impossible not to have one of the most memorable experiences of your life! As I am getting ready to announce the line up for winter surf fest, I am also planning the line up for sg101 in aug. please make plans now. Sat. Aug. 8th, but there will be shows from the weekend before to the weekend after. — Jeff(bigtikidude) Top

Brian, I am just now getting back to the reviews you and Ivan wrote. I didn't have time, then to read them. Anyways, I was extremely happy that you were able to make it to the BBQ/party this year. Its a bunch of work, we don't have to do, but we love to do. Its one of the best parts of the weekend for me too. Next year we will have a seperate grill with some non meat items for the veggie/vegans in attendance. — Jeff(bigtikidude) Top

It's been said a million times, but for good reason--this gathering is about so much more than just the amazing music from all over the world. It is about human nature, friendship, love, bonding, sharing, laughing, crying--you name it, it runs the gamut of human experience. It's a family reunion, anniversary, birthday, wedding and aural orgy all rolled into one! Most sincere respect and admiration to everyone that attended, donated, helped behind the scenes, performed and made this event the best yet! On a personal note...I cannot express enough what an honor it was to make music with Ivan, Danny and Dane in The Atlantics tribute and Uros and Jovana in Threesome. It was easily some of the most rewarding musical experience I've ever had and I am so humbled and grateful to have been a part of it! Giant group hug! Counting the days until next time... Jonpaul PS....I'll say it again and again...there truly is no greater community and musical family than Surf Guitar 101! Sniff sniff, no I'm not tearing up, I think I smelled you, uh yeah. — Jeff(bigtikidude) Top

Thanks to Lorenzo(surfer joe) for guidance and advice during the year. And of course all of you that came to see the sg101 convention.
