Symposium Spotlight On.....

Bohemian Surf: A Slideshow from Hawaiian Antiquity to Surfing's Pop Culture Explosion.
Saturday, August 15th 10-11:00am. 5 clams, Not Sold Out Yet!
Hosted by Brian Chidester and Domenic Priore, authors of the new book “Pop Surf Culture”.

Now Domenic is pretty well known for doing the best slideshows on Earth about retro music - in college, he produced his own public access TV show, It’s Happening, a tribute to 1960s dance shows like Shindig!, Ready Steady Go, Hollywood a Go Go, and Hullabaloo. He’s written a definitive book on Beachboy Brian Wilson, also the classic books “Beatsville” and “Riot on Sunset Strip”.

Chidester is a publisher/editor/producer/director of just about everything concerning the Beach Boys, 60’s surf culture or anything interesting about any retro rock subject you can imagine. So the idea that you can still get in to see these two guys for 5 clams is pretty amazing, and their photo-dazzling talk on how the big surfing wave hit the US in the 60’s is going to be a highlight of Oasis this year!
