Dear Friends,

Our sincere condolences go out to Sandy Feet, who lost her father, Dad Feets, this week. He will be missed.

The details are all worked out for our first "real" video shoot on May 2nd at the Wanna Wanna! Come on out and be a part of Bongodog history...

Things are heating up on South Padre Island. Last week was the Beach and Bike Fest, and this week is Splash. Come on out an see us at the Wanna Wanna when you're in town, we'd love to have you there!

We've been busy as well recording our THIRD CD! Still lots to do, but we hope to have it completed and on sale early this summer...

Please note that we've adjusted our gig schedule a bit. We'll be gone on May 9th and 16th...you know you're getting older when you need to plan around your children's college graduation ceremonies! This is our 15th season on South Padre Island, and we've loved every minute of it! We'll have new T-shirts, coozies, and other great "merch" this year at all the shows, including a limited edition 15th anniversary shirt you'll be sure to want!

WINTER TEXANS: We're adding our dates to the calendar at www.RGVactivities.com. This is a great place to check what's happening throughout the Valley with events targeted to Winter Texans. Another resource for you is www.wintertexaninfo.com. Check them out to plan your day!

Sandy Feet has completed the link to our Flickr pages, replacing the old gallery on this site. Please e-mail me any cool pictures you might have laying around of you enjoying the Bongodogs. I'd like to add them to the space.

I hope you'll browse through the whole site here and check out all the pictures and other cool stuff Sandy Feet has added. We could not do this without her! You can even buy the CDs right from this site now...what a country!

And now a word from our sponsors...

The WANNA WANNA beach bar and grill is located on the beach at the (newly named) Wanna Wanna Inn, gulf side at 5100 North Gulf Blvd on the Island. Bob and Penny have remodeled and EXPANDED the bar area. Very cool. It is the PERFECT South Padre Island experience; the ocean, the beach, the drinks, and the music under the stars! New for this year is Lauren Ashley. She plays and sings with her guitar (and dog) afternoons on Saturday and Sunday. We know you're going to love her as much as we do!

The new Parrot Eyes is finally open! Matt and Alan have been playing over there, as has Emilio. It is a great new place, with lots of food, drinks, and watersports for you. Don't miss it when you're here. We are really going to try to find a date to play there, and soon!

We'll be back at Blackbeards again this year for their birthday celebration on June 6th. Blackbeards has grown up so much! We all remember the little shack on stilts with the gravel lot and the volleyball net. We used to go there every Sunday after surfing to warm up, get a burger and catch the game on TV. It is an Island institution!

This website has been envisioned, created, and maintained by Sandy Feet and Fred Mallet. They are truly the MOST wonderful people on the planet! If you are ever in need of computer help, web site design, or just want to build a few sandcastles, go back to the home page and click on the little feet at the bottom! We love you guys!

Peace,Love,and GOOD MUSIC!

David Cassady and The Bongodogs
