If any of you happen to be in Colorado, a memorial event for John Koontz will take place at the Skylark Lounge, 140 South Broadway in Denver, and many of the bands that John followed (including surf bands) will be playing, on Saturday night, July 15, and then all day Sunday, July 16, starting at 2 pm.

Here's a really well written obituary in the local hip rag.

There are 4 surf bands playing on Sunday. It's a shame it took loosing the biggest fan to bring them all together.
