March is looking like a historic month in the history of modern surf
music...so let's start talking about Richard's question (below).
Of course, I'd like to see all of those shows given enough time and
money. I would really like to see Ran's new band in San Diego. And I'd
like to do a repeat of my last vacation last April and see the
Brookdale and Sacramento shows too.
I think so far that March 5th show in Hermosa Beach looks like a
target date to center activities around (Slacktone/Surf
Coasters/Nebulas). But that's just coming from me, who has never seen
Slacktone, and really wants too... :)
Unfortunately California is a big state, so you may not want to be
driving around all over your entire trip. It can wear on you.
I think a lot of people are waiting to see what other dates fill in.
For example, The Nebulas play March 5th but not again (at least
officially) until March 11th.
I am also curious, are other bands like The Hypnotic IV, The
Infrareds, and possibly Laika & The Cosmonauts going to be around as
well? I realize I may be asking too much here... :^)
I was in the Hermosa Beach area just once about 2 years ago on a
business trip, and needless to say, this hayseed from Iowa will also
need some advice on places to stay, etc.
So yes, as Chris suggested, I think a massive SG101 field trip is in
order, and let's start the discussions going on this....
Can we see a show of hands on who is thinking about going?
Thanks,
BN
PS:
I just also want to state to anyone who is on the fence about this
that my wife and I did something similiar last April during the 1st
Surf Coasters US tour, and we had a total blast. Not only were the
bands awesome, but meeting fellow fans/list members like Trode, Tom
Hinders, the legendary Jeff "Bigtikidude", (the other non-list guy)
Marty, Ran, Ferenc, Mel Waldorf, etc, etc. was a truly memorable
experience. Lots of fun and great music all around!
