Hi All, I know that this is not a Tiki event, but there have been many tiki events lately that has been a mix of tiki and surf music, (Tiki Oasis, Tiki Caliente, and the MariePalooza benefit) This is a Huge Labor of Love for me, and it's a lot of work and time putting together this weekend of shows. But there will be 3 shows that weekend at Don the Beachcomber,

and I was really Happy, and surprised to see that Sven included this in his recent "Sound of Tiki" cd. I admit that surf and tiki don't cross over even 50/50, Free your mind and you ass will follow. Jeff(btd) [ Edited by: bigtikidude 2010-07-13 13:52 ] |

Are there any dive bars in the area that open between 6am-8am ?? Let's have a TC morning cocktail pre-meet. There's nothing cooler (or maybe it's more pathetic :D) than drinking in a bar before 9am !! |

Everyone should go to this event... unless they are letting there backbone slip at a Funk Festive... Hmmmmm 'Dane to the Music" or "Walk Don't Run"....... Great Job with the Jeff Fest! should be bigger and better then ever. Just think 10 years from now you will be running around a venue the size of the Crown Plaza like a headless chicken dancing to 'Wipe-out!' |

I"ll be there, but I don't know how early. However, 10am is not as early as it gets for surf bands--I know members of several surf bands over the years who have played really early, like 8am, for the runners of the Long Beach marathon. That's the dichotomy for surf music--most surfers start the day really early, most musicians start the day relatively late. |

Jeff, you probably already know that I am not the world's biggest surf music fan, but I am a HUGE fan of Jonpaul, so I will be there definitely to see the insect surfers. Most of the Hula Girls will be there as well, but at different times. |

I too am looking forward to this show. 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?? So in true BigTikiDude fashion my agenda for this weekend is as follows: 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 |

Had to cut out at 3pm to catch a plane. I was able to enjoy the All-star Jam, Surfside IV, and the Wadadli Riders. What a great event !! Just one of the sets would have been worth the trip. BigTikiDude had it running like a finely tuned surf guitar. He had to deal with technical issues (he got shocked by an amp chord), management issues (the music was too loud for the waitresses to hear orders), and herd the musicians on time. He did it all like a seasoned professional. I was impressed. My favorite quote of the day: "It's fun but it's stressful." Jeff, I think everyone attending appeciates your time, effort, and great Surf music expertise in putting the event together. Thank you !! One interesting observation: The Surf music crowd doesn't really drink. I was told the Starting Gate was selling more food than booze !! |
