From Otto von Stroheim’s Tikievents list:
Book event for ‘Pop Surf Culture: Music, Design, Film and Fashion from the Bohemian Surf Boom’ in Echo Park, L.A., Saturday, February 2st, 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., Stories book store.
Domenic Priore, Brian Chidester, and The Boardwalkers will appear at Stories books, cafe, goods (1716 Sunset Boulevard, Los Angeles – near the corner of Echo Park Boulevard) on Saturday, February 21st from 6 to 9 p.m. The event is to celebrate the release of the Chidester/Priore book ‘Pop Surf Culture: Music, Design, Film and Fashion from the Bohemian Surf Boom’ (Santa Monica Press). The book traces surfing and Hawaiian music’s potent combo during early 20th Century Waikiki, directly to its landing on California shores, and their development into a true bohemian subculture by the late 1950s/early 1960s. Focus on Tiki, Surf instrumentals, Surf movies, Surf duds in the pre-1970 environment of Southern California is also offset by a look into Waikiki’s Lounge scene of the ’60s, and later revivals of Surf music during the punk/alt rock days as it mixed with Burlesque, Tiki culture and other things you are most likely a part of. So come down and have a ball, its FREE with live Surf instrumental music by The Boardwalkers and pre-1970 surfing movies projected throughout Stories’ book store. Again, the address is 1716 Sunset Boulevard, Los Angeles, California. Phone: (213) 413-3733.
Here’s more info on the book Surf Pop Culture by Domenic Priore and Brian Chidester.

I continue to be amazed by this creative and well communicated campaign to save a park and surfing environment in Southern California. This is from the Surfrider Foundation blog:
If you will be in Southern California next Monday, September 22nd, please so try and attend our big Save Trestles rally at the Del Mar Fairgrounds.
Surfrider Foundation will be rallying thousands of people to show our support of our State Park and surfing resources before the United States Secretary of Commerce.

stolen telecaster style guitar, photo by Chuck Kelley
A guitar belonging to David Nowlen was stolen from his son’s apartment in Los Angeles on July 29. The guitar is a Jonathan Rose Tele with serial #57 stamped on the neckplate and “Rose” on the headstock. It’s been signed by James Burton, Duane Eddy and many others.
Nowlen, pictured here with the guitar, is a longtime friend of Brian Wilson and was a member of “The Survivors” – a group produced by Brian consisting of himself, his roommate Bob Norberg, their next door neighbor Nowlen, and Rich Alarian. Their single “Pamela Jean/After The Game” was released by Capitol Records in January of 1964.The person suspected of taking the guitar lives in Alabama, so the hot guitar is probably somewhere between here (L.A.) and there. If you have a message for Dave about the whereabouts of the guitar, email me at chuck@luxuriamusic.com and I’ll forward your message to him.
