Server Move Complete

The server move is complete. Hopefully you have found us by now and I have most everything unpacked and put in the proper place.

I also upgraded the site software. You should see a few small differences around here.

And finally, the Member Map module is active now for registered users.

Enjoy!

Hi folks,

Unsteady Freddie has been letting people know about these great shows in Texas...this post is last minute, but thought I'd forward the news from Mike Vernon and 3 Balls of Fire anyway.

Mike and 3BF are excited about their new CD release "Jet Set Guitars," and they have put together some great upcoming shows in Texas to celebrate the CD release, including some  with Davie Allan, backed by Dusty Watson and Sam Bolle!  Here is 3BF's immediate itinerary. 

Feb.  19th    Fox TV Morning News   7:30 AM    Austin, TX 
         19th    KUT Radio  90.5  FM  12  PM   Austin, TX  
         21st    Continental Club  w/  Davie Allan and the Arrows  (Dusty Watson, and Sam Bolle);
                      10  PM   Austin,  TX
         22nd   Sam's Burger Joint    w/  Davie Allan and the Arrows (Dusty and Sam)  10  PM

All of you in Texas...don't miss these opportunities to come hear some excellent guitar!  And come support Mike and 3BF and get your copy of  "Jet Set Guitars."  No CD collection should be without it!

Thanks,

Susan
         

We're Moving!

This site has been around for nearly 4 years now. The first 2 years it was just a static HTML site, mainly meant to host photos from all the surf shows my wife and I had went to. Then, nearly 2 years ago, I loaded up some interactive software and the site as you know it was born. We have grown a lot in those 2 years, and I have big plans for the future. So I have decided to move this site to a dedicated server, where we will have much more room for growth and experimentation.

Never having done this before, I'm not sure how it is all going to play out. We will still be known as surfguitar101.com, but the domain name must be moved to the new server. That may mean a day or two of disruption. There may also be a period where people in one part of the world are posting on the old server, while others have already been moved to the new server. I'm going to try to minimize that, but it may happen that a few posts get lost in the shuffle. When will this happen? Sometime in the next 7-14 days I think.

I'm really looking forward to having more space, bandwidth, and potential for future growth. Thanks again for your support!

Mighty Surf Lords Update

Well, it's been a hell of a month to kick this year off!!!! Kinda sucky actually. After losing our drummer to the big stage in the sky, our bass player, Mike Warner has decided to call it quits with the Mighty Surf Lords.

We have hired a new drummer, and have spoken to a couple bass players who are willing to keep this project alive. But it is going to take time, yet again, to be ready to perform.

On a good note ( no not Bb ), the new album is currently being duplicated, and I got a release date of Febuary 14, 2008.

The CD's will be for sale at a normal price of $15. And to all my fellow SG101'ers,  $10 bucks!!!

Give me a shout and I will put an order together as soon as I receive the discs. I will have to catch up my bank account this week so I can use paypal. lol.
