I didn’t make it to the previous SG101 shingdigs and am bummed about that. I’m super excited to see the Space Cossacks. I haven’t seen them since I left the DC area for San Diego in 1999. I think they did play out here that same year at the Tiki in Pacific Beach but I didn’t make it to the show. Aren’t the Insect Surfers originally from the that area too. I remember looking at an album of theirs YEARS ago back in Reptilian Records (RIP) in Baltimore and it stating they were from, or recorded in Northern Virginia.. I think if memory serves me well?? Anyhow, with my old stomping grounds being well represented by Atomic Mosquitoes and The Space Cossack in the lineup (no pun intended), it will take something big to keep me from the SG101 show. BTD if you could have gotten Monsters From the Surf booked too I probably would have overdosed on nostalgia. So in true BigTikiDude fashion my agenda for this weekend is as follows: Friday night- Space Cossack, Secret Samurai, and Frankie and the Poolboys show in San Diego Saturday- SG101 show Saturday night- Don’s for dinner and Glasgow tiki shakers and drink. Then drive back to San Diego. I should cover 100’s of miles, three different surf shows, a tiki mecca and multiple cities in less than 48hrs. I think that should qualify as some sort of tikidude training? Originating from a place where events like this were not common I’m truly thankful to have the opportunity to attend and am STOKED! BIG thanks BTD for putting it all together. SF
