Wow! What a weekend! I am still completely exhausted. But exhilarated and happy and thankful at the same time.
Sorry for the delay, but here is my Thank you post.
First off, huge thank you to all who attended the SG101 festival,(long time fans and new). I was always wanting it to be a 3day weekender event. But I was nervous that it would do well. At about a month before, we were at 2/3rds tickets sold.
Then the last 2 weeks boom, the rest sold.
Sold out! Huge thanks to everybody for that. If you couldn’t attend this year, be sure to buy tix early next time. And there will be lots of videos posted on FB, IG, and YouTube. So keep an eye out for those.
Ok, Huge thanks to my Partners Christopher Burkhart and Art Bourasseau.
They helped so much in making this years event happen, and be a success. Also a huge thank you to my Stage Manager and Amp donator for use, Ran Mosessco. Your tireless quest for the best sounding amps is appreciated by myself, the bands and the Audience. Also thanks to Ran’s bandmates
Jonpaul Balak for the bass amp, and to David Berner for being an assistant stage hand. Thank you to Tony Tortolano and Doug Snyder for being side door security and all around helpers when needed.
Thank you to Dorthy Michelle Treasure and Clint Beachwood, and Laura Bethita Neptuna Doug Snyder for running the Sg101 booth, selling raffle tix, posters and t-shirts. Thank you to Duff Paulson of the Torquays etc. And Pablo Baza of Tikiyaki
And Scimitars for helping get, get ready,
Set up the Drum kit.
Huge mahalos, thanks, Kudos, etc
To Elliot Kendal for spreading flyers all over So. Cal. In music stores and other.
You are an animal and helped make this huge. Also thank you to Eric of Caveman music for helping spread the word, and for hooking up the Kensington Goldfinch baritone guitar for the raffle.
Thanks to all the sponsors, donors and vendors for being huge supporters of the event. Especially Fender musical Instruments and Mark Kendrick for the gracious donation of the Awesome Jazzmaster Ultra guitar. Patrick Quilter
And his crew at Quilter amplifiers for the amazing Dockblock cab and 202 toneblock amp. To Lorenzo Valdambrini and all at Surfy Industries for the special gold surfy bear metal reverb. And to Don Lace at Lace pick ups and guitars for the cool Teleiki guitar donation. Thank you to Robert Molina Robert for suppling the food service and the print work for the posters and banners all around the event. To Tom Laura
Aka Big Toe, for the super Bitchin artwork for the SG101 flyer, you nailed it!
Jason Weckerly and Kustome Deluxe for the printing of flyers and posters, and all the additional posters for separate nights/bands/side room event. Ulisies of
The Tequila Worms and Zug Monster printing for the T-shirts( still have those for sale) and the huge, awesome picture opportunity stand up of the surfer guitar guy.
And last but not least to Bob Walk of Surfking Surf Wear For the gracious donation to pay for the printing of 10,000 flyers, and 250 posters. (We still have 150 of those also, Contact me if you want to buy one).
Thank you to all of the bands that played, from near and far! If it wasn’t for you the event would exist. And to all the hardcore fans that came from all over.
Even as far as Japan and Canada. Was there any euro fans,beside a couple bands?
Thank you to John Blair for bringing the Sound of the Surf Doc to us to see it.
And for the Seminar you and Jonpaul did.
Thank you so much to Jonpaul for that discussion with John, the One with PJ,
And all of your input on many things regarding the event,(this year and every year),having me on your radio show to promote, and being an ear and a shoulder to cry on when the insanity of the event was getting to me.
Thank you to the host hotel and Ballroom
The Golden Sails. I hear they were very happy to report that they had no major incidents or complaints with our event and all of the surf fans that stayed there.
I think it’s a good place and will probably return if they will have us back.
Again,
Thank you all,
So much, I was truly blown away
By the turn out and response.

P.S. thanks to Dad for letting me use his truck to haul all of the Amps n gear to the show.
