For those who do (assuming it isn't bogus), enjoy!

I'll be going .. but hope it's not the final wave .. more like 5 times removed final wave. We're all getting older, but .. the last meet-up? .. I really hope not.

Wish I could go. Bad time of year for me to do transAtlantic travel. At least I got to meet Val and AGD this past summer.

Well, the decision was made: 2 Dutch fans will travel off to Lutterworth. And I am one of them !

Soooo...in my haste at reading the Facebook announcement I saw a Scott as one of the special guests and my brain filled in "Scott Totten". I now see that it's in fact the convicted rapist Scott Bennett, to my utter disappointment and disgust.

I now see that it's in fact the convicted rapist Scott Bennett, to my utter disappointment and disgust. And Scott B. stood accused, went to trial, and prison for his crime, was likely subject, to post incarceration probation, with reporting requirements, counseling, etc and public humiliation. Tiger Woods and others have found themselves in similar situations but have returned to somewhat professional status. Rehabilitation, forgiveness, and hopefully redemption are part of the package. Scott wrote with Brian Wilson and is a fine musician who made a terrible mistake/committed a terrible crime. I'd see him, in a heartbeat, notwithstanding his transgressions. Some famous guy said something about, "Let he who is without sin, cast the first stone."

Some famous guy said something about, "Let he who is without sin, cast the first stone. Well said. I don’t doubt that the victim in this has been hurt and scarred. Others – friends and family, at the very least – will have been too. Yet there has to be room for contrition, for forgiveness, for rehabilitation, for healing, else there’s no hope for anyone. I hope I can make it to Final Wave, to meet up with old acquaintances, old friends and hopefully meet some new old friends. We'll see (but I turn 60 the following day and I’m holding out hope that my family have splashed out on a flight to LA having convinced the seven surviving members of The Beach Boys to get together for one last gig at the Hollywood Bowl, in my honour… aye right!).

I’m UK based but I don’t have any friends or family who are big enough BB fans to go to this. Do people tend to come alone or will everyone know someone?

Pretty much everyone knows someone, if only online.
