Hi Everyone!
Here is the latest blog that I put up. It features details of my book signing, as well as a travelogue of bohemian Laguna Beach. Give it a second to load, as there are quite a few images:

Anyways…
Saturday, February 21st, there will be a book signing event for Pop Surf Culture: Music, Design, Film and Fashion from the Bohemian Surf Boom at Stories Book Store, 1716 Sunset Boulevard, Los Angeles, California, from 6 to 9 p.m. There will be live surf instrumental music by the Boardwalkers, and pre-1970 surfing movies projected throughout the shop. Come meet co-authors Domenic Priore and myself, and our gang of friends… it'll be another easy-goin', fun filled and groovy FREE time in Echo Park.
Thanks for listening, and I hope to see you there.
Yours,
Brian Chidester

I'll be behind the drumkit! WHOO!
Sadly, rocks biggest cowbell will stay home.
To make the event Tiki-esque, I will be wearing a Tiki shirt and one of my "Von-Tiki" necklaces I made while in the Tiki Tones.

Ya know, I wore my very rare green Ku tiki shirt.
Had my Von Tiki (that I made in the 90's) necklass on.
Played my old ass off on drums... for what?
A Sven sighting!
I'm good with that.

Oh, by the way, Jeff... sorry I didn't see the drum reference above. I thought the "Don Brewski" moniker was Johnpaul's.

Funny that Jeff (the drummer) says he was trying to be tiki at Stories Book Store, because I got the complete opposite vibe from the band. Danny has played some really breezy shows, where the mellow soul coming from the Boardwalkers reminded me of Chet Baker. Like the show they did with us at Sid's Blue Beet in 2006. But it must have been something about Echo Park, man, because I've NEVER heard Danny play so punk as he did at Stories. I thought they rocked hard. Sorry if I sound like an Iron Maiden fan.
