I know this guy will be stoked.....

Jeff,
You can book this whole gig at Suzy's in Hermosa Bch. Were having 10 surf bands there anyways on Memorial Week-end, I can book another date for this SG bash. You can jam till 1in the morning. No biggy.
Plus, I'll email everybody hotels, motels, to stay in the local area.
Later.
Billy

Be careful following the masses. Sometimes the "M" is silent...........................

Do and shoot for a date then, as some think I can up and go when ever I please I don't have the time and luxury to up and go just by the snap of the finger (day jobs, family, kids, commitments, money) I'm already heading down to SoCal in mid summer with The Verbtones for the weekend but me and Marie will be in SoCal for an extra few days with my folks in OC and the rest of the band will only be there for 3 days (Friday, Saturday & Sunday) but if it happen's sooner then this summer count me out I'll be there next year 2009 instead!!! some of us do need to plan ahead and save some dough and make arrangements at home. This is my last input and update.

Hey Everybody,
just a Heads up about the
Surf Guitar 101 Convention,
1st off its gonna be many things
surf music, and instrument/gear swap meet,
multi media presentations,
4 Bands
surf jam/Karaokee (sign up list to join will be posted soon)many songs,
you play a Standard along with a Live backing band
and get together
plus more maybe.

I am still talking to people about coming to it, and being involved.
But I wanted to Officially announce when it will be.

Sat. Aug 2nd. at Suzy's in Hermosa.
noon to 5 pm

Later that night.
The Maderia from Mid west, Pollo Del Mar from Nor. Cal., Insect Surfers and Detonators are playing 8 pm till Midnight.

On Sun. Aug 3rd at the Huntington Beach Pier, 11 am to 5 pm will be.
The Fabulous Nomads, The Relix, Aquasonics from Colorado, Pollo Del Mar,
The Maderia, and The Surftones, Feat. Matt Q from Reventlos, and Kerry Chester ex of DD's 80s band.

I Figured it would be best to announce it asap, as I know the sooner the better, for arranging for airfare and sleeping and car accommodations.

There is also a San Diego show with Pollo, Maderia, Secret Samurai, and
Zombie Surf Camp, on the Fri. nite. Aug 1st. If anybody would liek to go down there to get an early start on the Reverb overdose weekend.

Let me know if you have any questions,
and I will be posting more info soon, and
Official line up of bands, and guest speakers.

I booked 4 really good band to play 4 1/2 hour sets at an event, that will have a break between 5 and 8 pm,

I dont see the prob.
we have had many events down here with 8 to 10 bands.
and its packed all day.

If people dont want to come to the Event Im doing fine,
go see the night show only.

I just want to do something really cool,
Everybody Ive invited and or told about it sounds super stoked.

AND a ton of People said they would want the Event to be When the Maderia is here. so Im just doing what was asked.

If there is any question as to which show to go to that day,
if you can't handle 12 hours.
go to the night one,

I just figured doing the event,
where a show was gonna be was better,
Less driving around for people that are from outta town.

I know this is hard work getting it all together "A one man operation with a goal" organizing and trying to orchestrate it all and trying to make everyone happy on the other hand I know there's other things going on simultaneously on that date or dates but... the reality is that you can't please everyone, Jeff awesome job for pulling it off and for listening to other's considerations and ideas, we're only human.

KUDOS ALL THE WAY

Cheers

I couldn't agree more. Very well said Kyle. Jeff, thanks for pulling this thing together. I'm sure it is a pretty large undertaking.
