Reminiscent of My Space Band Accounts with free Song Banks...
tbb used to feast off that for tracking past Local bands...then they pulled it all...Fark!
Managed to hand copy a bit of it...thankfully for that...saw the end was coming...
So seriously...tbb filled as many Foolscap Pages as he could....Goldie Bands / Song Titles / Gigs
Same for Regional News Papers History Searches for Skateboarding Parks...salvaged some of it.
They Just knock out 10-15 years of All Towns Youth Cult / Sounds...Kill the Vibe! So cruel!
Almost like 1995-2010 Never existed...nearly all wiped from www and memories...so sad!
Wotz really weird here is the Curator speaks of getting in touch etc...
But tbb can't find a soul on this Ghost Town site...no contact?
Be weird if some dude set all this up & got locked up > Tax Man > or Died?
Well...see what crew thinks...Looks like an abandoned warehouse...
Can't find one AD on the site > Maybe that's the reason...
Like Grok would wanna lock users outta a surf site that folk spend hours on without a shop cart...[000]
Maybe the dude did get carted away for refusing Ads...It's a Raid!

I'll buy one if you sign it 'with love from John Calhoun' ; )
I'll buy one too if he signs it so!
Loved the JSC stories that used to appear in US Surfline, especially the Western Pacific sorties.
Not a land owner, potential book owner.

Hey gang, I've recently gotten into surfing and I am looking to find a good book or two that will introduce me to this world a little better.
It doesn't really matter what genre it is, I'm just keen for any insight into the beautiful and often mystical world of surfing.
Cheers!
