Photos from the 2008 event should be coming along in due course. (I'm late as usual with them.) Also coming is a rave review about the Starboard Market's Pomegranate Meringue Pie!

Also on this site are some photos from a special show:  The last performance (Jan. 30, 2002) of the all-star Rock & Roll Dance Party Tour 2002 which commemorated Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, the Big Bopper, pilot Roger Peterson and Darrel Hein, former manager of the Surf Ballroom. This presentation was entirely independent from the Winter Dance Party 2002 which ran later in the week.
