Some of us locals are working on this, no details yet, but it most likely will be a smaller event than in the past.

Actually, we had the first one in 2005.

"A tradition since 2005 ..." hmmm ...

Mark, if you want to get together some time, just let some of us know. We had a mini-jam session for Jeff Scott during the NAMM show back in January, so it's doable. It's just a matter of synchronizing schedules!

Ditto here; I'm always up for getting together and demolishing some songs, and I know a few drummers who are willing to participate.

I can help demolish some songs!

Me, too, according to GG.

Back from vacation and catching up.

Tell me more about this Surfguitar 101 Convention! Can anyone go? Is it a jam or are there workshops, other stuff?

Sounds like fun.

It's open to anyone. There will be an open jam Saturday morning, but it sounds like most of the spots are taken. Here's a Facebook link:
