billyblastoff805 - 01 Jan 2005 19:29:48: Nah, I would'nt sweat it Ran. The Insects alone bring in their own little surf
following and we'll probablyj ust draw the locals, friends, and family. It
should'nt effect San Diego. Not to mention we'll be pumpin' the crowd for the
following night at Suzy's. I gotta hunch, both venues will be packed.

Of course, I'm not trying to step on the Detonators/Insects/Kelp toes here,
just bringing the information to everyone's attention. I'd hate the turnout
to the SD show to be low, causing the bar owner to not be open for future
surf gigs in the place.
Happy New Year,
Ran
