"........Surprising or not, the Washington area has a strong community of surfers, many of whom will be at Dr. Dremo's Taphouse in Arlington on Saturday night starting at 6 p.m. for a benefit to help SurfAid International's humanitarian work on the islands off West Sumatra as well as the Mentawai Islands, popular surfing spots located in tsunami-ravaged Indonesia. The event, hosted by the DC Chapter of the Surfrider Foundation, is open to the public and will feature standup comedy, live music and an auction.

On Sat April 30th, the DC Chapter of Surfrider is holding a benefit concert night at Dr. Dremo's in Arlington, VA to raise money for SurfAid International's efforts to help island populations impacted by the tsunami. Should be a great time of good music, DJ's, Stand-Up Comics, and Silent Auctions for surfboards/skateboards/Skydiving/etc.

Check out http://www.surfrider.org/capitol/news/surfaid.html detail, times, flyers, posters and the media release.

Pass on the word.

Thanks,
