Just bought a new shirt that I think will go really well at SCARF:

Just kidding:

Or am I? You'll find out if you're at SCARF, and if not, when the pictures come out.

They do this on their own time and deserve mucho kudos for all of their efforts. Why not? Kudos are free. What hasn't been mentioned are the expenses that they incur in terms of paying the club, renting a drum kit, renting a P.A. system, and insuring that the event goes smoothly. This amount can run as high as $800 - $1000 or more. They should not have to bear these expenses alone, especially in light of all the sweat equity they have so freely given. It is only fair that the cost of the event be shared among all particpants.

To those who plan on attending: please slip either Joey, Paul, Rich, or Gary a twenty dollar bill at the event, if you agree. They may try and refuse it (that's the way they are), but be insistent. It would take 40 to 50 people doing this for them to just break even. I'm usually pretty cynical about people, but I believe that there is an unusually high number of decent, ethical folks that populate this forum. Like old Wilfred Brimley used to say, "It's the right thing to do and the right way to do it". End of sermon. Tom
Thank you Tom!
Dan (Danotron) and Scott (s4001) have also had key roles in the planning efforts. I'm pretty sure we will also have another special guy to thank when the time comes.

One more thing I'd like to add to this, is that I appreciate Tom reminding/suggesting that attendees help with the cost of putting on the event, but as far as I'm concerned, that should be limited to the to the attendees that do not have to pay for airfare and a hotel. I appreciate the time, effort and money spent by those who have to travel far, pay for airfare and a hotel to join us at our event.

Add another event choice for your pre-SCARF itinerary.

If you're looking for something to do on Friday night August 5th, the night before SCARF, Los Mysteriosos will be at Sancho's Taco's in Huntington Beach.

Now, before you start asking yourself, "why would I want to go see Los Mysteriosos at Sancho's Tacos in Huntington Beach?" This is the weekend that HB hosts the Nike US Open of Surf, which is a pretty big event (Huntington Beach is nicknamed Surf City), and this place is right in the thick of it.

Should be pretty crazy.....

What time do you go on and how much are tickets and can I buy them at the door, Dano?

Jay Leno starts taping at 2:00pm, and I should be out of there by 5:00pm.

No tickets needed Jake!

But I will warn you that Burbank (Jay Leno Show) to HB on a Friday afternoon could be a rough drive!

I'll let you know more when I do. I don't know when we'll be playing yet. Bringing your board for some surfing?

Can't surf. But I do plan to head to Malibu on Monday to take some pictures of that beach.

Also, it wouldn't by chance be a Mexican restaurant? To begin with, I'm a sucker for a good beef or chicken taco...

COULD BE A ROUGH DRIVE?

I'd rather pound nails through my eyes

Cool !

Just FYI....not sure if you've been there, but Don's Turf Motel is cheap for a reason, it's a dump.
I lived in Los Alamitos for 16 years, that place is a joke. I haven't stayed there, but been by it plenty of times.

Hey, SCARF disclaimer -- it was referenced that it was for "budget-minded Confluence attendees"

And at least two of the "Reviews" posted on line indicate they do not charge for rooms by the hour !

The nearest Ritz Carlton is in Newport Beach !

Yeah, take the Kety route and stay at the nicer place across the street, you'll thank me later, cheapskates.

fatcat · Post by **fatcat** » Sat Jul 09, 2011 9:17 am

If it's such a dive,it would have been nice to know that earlier;but better late than never.
Cheapskates?

Hardly--paying less for lodging is one way to save up for Rickenbackers
