and get together/meet and greet

I am still talking to people about coming to it, and being involved.
But I wanted to Officially announce when it will be.

Later that night.
The Madeira from Mid west, Pollo Del Mar from Nor. Cal., Insect
Surfers and Detonators are playing 8 pm till Midnight.

also
On Sun. Aug 3rd at the Huntington Beach Pier, 11 am to 5 pm will be.
The Fabulous Nomads, The Relix, Aquasonics from Colorado, Pollo Del Mar,
The Madeira , and The Surftones, Feat. Matt Q from Reventlos, and
Kerry Chester ex of DD's 80s band.

I Figured it would be best to announce it asap, as I know the sooner
the better, for arranging for airfare and sleeping and car accommodations.

There is also a San Diego show with Pollo Del Mar,Madeira,Secret
Samurai, and Zombie Surf Camp, on the Fri. nite. Aug 1st. If anybody
would like to go down there to get an early start on the Reverb
overdose weekend.

Let me know if you have any questions,

Official line up of bands, and guest speakers.
