Just want to add some what fors... California is big,
but doable. I realize that the people who came to
NorCal last year would probably prefer to see the
SoCal action this time around. But hey, don't forget
The Neptunes at Club Fred. Last year the show was a
near sell out (on a Wednesday night, and the Surf
Coasters sold almost all of their swag in one night
there... And how great is the Brookdaqle Lodge where
you can get an inexpensive room to crash land in.
Also, the NorWest part of the tour is looking awesome,
with a stop in Vancouver (only 1 hour from Seattle)
and a show at the EMP Museum.
Here is the word on some of the bands you mentioned
Brian-- Laika has cancelled their tour, including the
show with King of Hawaii. The Hypnotic IV are taking a
break, we will miss playing with them in Sacremento,
But I hope to keep their tradition of the evening
ending surf jam going.
Also, I want to apologize to all bands who offered to
help set up shows, or asked to open. I'm sorry I about
the limits we have at the clubs. I wish every stop was
a 10 band surf battle. I will be really sorry to miss
The Detonators/Insects show wile The Surf Coasters are
in San Diego. Anybody planning on going to Las Vegas?
I have never been there so I am looking forward to it.
So I wish a great 2005 (Chinese year of the Rooster*!)
to you all! I look forward to meeting SG101 list
members wherever- Belgium, Amsterdam, SoCal and the
Northwest.
Thanks,
Ferenc
