Tom keeps up the heat with some photos of April Windswell. Good to see that the scrappy can still get some action if they are diligent.

Gerry Lopez at UCSB May 6th
Gerry Lopez will be speaking at UCSB with an intro by Patagonian Yvon Choinard. This all takes place Tuesday, May 6 at UCSB Campbell Hall at 8 pm. Tickets are $10 general admission & $8 for UCSB students/youth 18 & under. Tickets can be purchased in advance by calling the Arts & Lectures Ticket Office (893-3535) or Order Online.

Entire books could be written about Gerry Lopez. Suffice it to say Gerry made his surfing reputation at Pipeline, riding it like nobody else before him, or since. He was among a crew of Indonesian adventure pioneers who first surfed Garajagan, or “G-Land”, long considered one of the best lefts in the world. Lopez starred as himself in the surf-cult classic film “Big Wednesday”, and was noted as “shaper of the year” in Surfing Magazine’s annual surfboard design issue, 2003. Gerry Lopez is as charismatic, intelligent and intuitive on land as he is in the waves. He’ll be talking about and presenting images from his just released book “Surf Is Where You Find It”. Don’t miss this extraordinary special event. Introduction by Yvon Chouinard, Patagonia’s distinguished founder.

Grover Anderson at Albertsons May 3rd
Isla Vista musician Grover Anderson will be playing in the Albertson's parking lot (sort of like U2) in Goleta on May 3rd. It is a battle of the bands called "Will Play For Food" featuring Grover, The VelTexans, and Hero & the Victor. The event takes place from 2-5pm so you have plenty of time to pick up some groceries in between sets.
