and get together/meet and greet

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

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

also
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 Madeira, 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 Del Mar,Madeira,Secret Samurai, and Zombie Surf Camp, on the Fri. nite. Aug 1st. If anybody would like to go down there to get an early start on the Reverb overdose weekend

any questions?
please let me know if I missed anything.

Kudos, Jeff! Really looking forward to this.

Now can you keep the 5 & 405 clear that weekend too??

Thanks Everybody,
yes it is a lot of stuff, and will be a challenge to keep it on track.
But I am very certain with a lot of help and cooperation from everybody.
things will run smoothly.

Remember this show is Free, but there will be a tip bucket for everyone to freely donate money to all the bands participating in this event.
I hope that everybody at least throws in a 5 er.
also make sure you bring plenty of money to buy from all the Vendors,
and the bands playing that night after 8 pm.

also Suzy's bar and grill has Excellent Food and Beers and wine.
sorry no hard booze. oh and sodas and water too.
so please make sure you eat there at least once if not twice during the day.

the parking lot is huge and free, please if your not in a band or in the jam
dont park next to the front of the bar, I'd liek to keep that area for loading unloading gear.

here is the address for Suzy's

Suzy's Bar and Grill

1141 Aviation Blvd. (at Prospect)

Hermosa Beach, California

ok lets get the final push on this,
can everybody e-mail and myspace this event?
I would liek to see this be really packed, and people swingin from the rafters like monkeys.

KUDOS to you for everything you do for the instro scene;
and thanks to all the other bands and organizers for packaging one Hell of a week-end!
Man if I didn't have a SHINDIG Aug 2 (right in the middle of this!), I'd be so there!

man, what a great 3 days you lucky people are gonna have

BIG TIKI DUDE, YOU ROCKKKKKKKKKK

Unsteady Freddie

Thanks man
Freddie,
I think this is one time, that you have to miss your own show,
Once in a Blue Moon,Linda is not at the Surf Museum,
and there is a couple times, when I don't go, as there is other stuff going on. Like Mid August I am going to the Tiki Oasis 8 festival in San Diego,
and will miss the Museum show.
but you gotta do what you gotta do.

Jeff(bigtikidude)

it would be great if we could web cast this to all the people that can't be here.
but maybe somebody could videotape parts of it, and post for later.

Jeff(bigtikidude)

Yeah, and the Gomez Amp T-shirts look "very cool".... I have 6 shirts myself ... 3 short sleeve and 3 long sleeve.....Black, Orange and White. Really nice to have. Dario did a very nice job with them...Really looking forward to meeting as many of you as can make it ... It will be an honor, and mean alot to me to shake some hands.........e
