According to a press release, Carlsbad’s favorite action sports sons Shaun White and Tony Hawk will join Tim McGraw and 80s party band The B-52s:
at Camp Jeep(R) 2007, the annual “owners only” three-day mix of off-road driving and other family- friendly outdoor activities, to be held July 26-28 at the Oak Ridge Estate in Nelson County, Va., near Charlottesville.
The Camp Jeep event, which is open only to Jeep owners, will cost $295 per vehicle. Guess putting on a show for your owners is what comes along with being sponsored. Sadly, we’ll miss this one.

Hidden away at 4901 El Camino Real in an old egg factory and next to Bobby’s Hideaway is Buffalo Brothers Guitars. Many would argue that it is the best guitar store in the world. Or what General Manager Kevin Kinnear calls: “Guitar players heaven.” The store and it’s General Manager were recently featured on San Diego’s News 8 (video link). The place is huge. Kinnear says:
We’ve got more guitars in the open than you can actually play and enjoy. This is completely friendly and hospitable and we want you to experience the guitars.
And he’s right, but what the story failed to mention is that while Buffalo Brothers is a great store and Kinnear is wellspring of guitar knowledge his roots in action sports go deeper still. As the founding editor of TransWorld Snowboarding Magazine Kevin helped shape snowboarding culture and then delivered it to the world. Kinnear was recently featured in an award-winning documentary film on the life of snowboarding great Craig Kelly titled Let It Ride. But don’t think that after talking to Kevin about snowboarding that you’ll find it any easier to leave the store without a new six-string in your hands. . . ’cause that just won’t happen.

Before calendars fill up with summer fun, be sure to block off September 24-30, 2007 because that’s when the 4th Annual Carlsbad Music Festival hits town. And we can all be thrilled with performances by Calder Quartet, So Percussion, Real Quiet, and most likely a couple other musical groups that no one has ever heard of. But then, we not up on “contemporary classical music,” so what do we know.
Get all the info on their website Carlsbadmusicfestival.org.
