The Surfing Madonna Spotted At Leucadiapalooza

Looking for a cheap date this weekend? Look no further as Leucadias 'Summer Fun On The 101' is back and bigger than ever. If you thought the Switchfoot Bro-Am at Moonlight was packed, then check out the line up this Friday and Saturday:

From 5:30pm to 9pm (but probably longer) on Friday, Lou's Records parking lot will host Thieves of the American Dream, Inspired & The Sleep, Red Fox Tails, Glen & The Boys (no relation), and Amerikan Bear & The Spanish Moss.

That alone is a full night in itself. But wait! There's more! On Saturday morning at 11:30am there will be a beach clean up from Moonlight to Beacons. Then head on over to Surfy Surfy/Coffee Coffe (a.k.a Cafe Ipe) for music from Julie Cowley and Megan Combs from 10am to 11am. And if you can muster it, Leucadia Roadside Park at 11am to 9am will have a full day of music from Superwave, Mattson 2 with Ray Barbee (solid), The Donkeys, and more. And did I mention a raffle and beer garden?! Just like Lollapalooza but in Leucadia. And without the freaks. All the music is free but donate $10 to the Paul Ecke School Garden and the Leucadia Main Street Association to keep great events like this and our schools running!
And lastly, while you're at Surfy Surfy/Cafe Ipe on Saturday, make sure to check out the new home of the Surfing Madonna. Last year you probably heard/saw the amazing mural by local Mark Patterson that he installed under the downtown Encinitas train trestle in the middle of the night. The city of course called it 'graffiti' and asked for it's removal. Well JP at Surfy Surfy has donated one of the walls outside his shop to house the famouse piece of art. A perfect spot for it. Make sure to grab a cup of joe, a bar of wax, and gaze at the mosaic this weekend!
