Now that the 6th annual VENTURES EAST COAST FAN FEST
is history & 'officially declared' by the majority of our jammers
as 'the best fest ever,' I'd like to formally take this opportunity to
thank everyone involved in the 'overall process.'
It's 'so easy' for everyone to throw kudos my way since I'm the
so-called yearly host but special mention needs to go to all my
UNPAID HELPERS. Why we can't even say they work for peanuts.
These are the individuals that are present year after year not only at
the event but 'all along the way' leading up to it with suggestions, etc.
The phone calls, skype's & E-mails are numerous to say the least.

Now for the holiday treat news: As in past years, Walt & I will be
puttin' together a FEST DVD SET that encompass the 12 hours we
spent on SAT. OCT. 4TH honoring our musical heroes THE VENTURES.
This year we even took the offerings a step further climaxing the evening
with THE VENTURES cover THE BEACH BOYS. Additionally be aware that all
told, counting two featured bands that played 90 minutes apiece- THE PICKNIKS
& BONGO STRAITS, there were 9 total pairings.
'Cause two video cameras were used this time 'round, we don't anticipate having
a 'finished product' 'til sometime 'tween Thanksgiving & Xmas but rest assure it'll
most likely involve a total of 8 DVD's. Particulars for pre-ordering are below:
COST: $35 USA, CANADA $40 OVERSEAS
