Wow! Nice work Jeff.

A pioneer Surf band like that would definitely warrant some pro video if at all possible (fingers crossed).

Sorry No audio or video, you must be there!

This year will be my first SG101 convention and I want to make the best of it. I'll be coming from out of town and I'm not at all familiar with the area. If any of you experienced convention goers have advice you'd like to share it would be much appreciated.

Cool! Glad to hear you are coming.
If possible, come early, check out other things besides just the surf shows. Many museums, historical buildings, amusement parks. Etc.
Many great places to eat in LA, and OC.
Sign up for the Fender factory tour Friday morning in Corona,thread elsewhere in general discussion below.
If possible stay a day or 2 after for the historical surf music tour on
Monday morning.

Jeff,

Thank you for the reply! I should have mentioned that I'm planning on attending the factory tour.

When booking a place to stay, are there any areas to watch out for?

Maybe spin off another thread for people travelling to the convention.

Newbie alert (that's me).

I've convinced my Wife we should go to the show..

I realize it's being held over 3 days, 2 @ Alpine Village in Torrance.. Sister's making plans to take me away from reverb nirvana on Sunday tho Cry

Anyhow, is there a FAQ or facebook page listing particulars?
-Is this a ticketed event?
-Never been to Alpine Village, seems like a.. mall? Parking etc...

I red there is a Fender factory tour on Saturday.. is it too late to squeeze two more?

Thanks in advance!

Pacopeco: Excellent news you are coming out!

  • There is a Facebook page for the SurfGuitar101 convention. Should be searchable (I'd link it but I'm currently on a FB self-imposed exile).
  • Pay at the door
  • Alpine Village consists of multiple buildings. Plenty of on-site parking.
  • There is a separate thread for the factory tour. Don't know if full or not.

Where are The Eliminators?

Last edited: May 28, 2017 14:27:55

They played the Surf convention a couple years ago.
They are taking this summer off.

I'm going to be a newbie this year, too. I'm staying right on the beach in Redondo Beach near the marina. I'm looking for folks to car pool/share a cab since the Friday show and Sunday show are a decent little drive from Alpine Village. If anyone is interested in having a travel partner to split costs with, PM me here or on Facebook.
