24/06/2006:// On Friday July 14th, the newly remodeled and revamped 710 Beach Club (formerly Blind Melons) will be the touchdown for a night of great music and a great cause. The club has been gutted and remodeled throughout the whole venue and this benefit event will be the kickoff of a great new club and a true testament to the spirit of Pacific Beach.
Armed with their message of consciousness and environmental awareness, the acclaimed Southern California reggae/rock troop BURNT will be hosting the benefit. The rest of the bill is slated for the incredibly talented and energetic Ocean Beach trio Gadfly as well as the legendary ska group The Chris Murray Combo to take the stage as the headlining act. DJ Cool Breeze will hold it all together, performing his Herbsman Shufflin' exhibition between sets. With a great presence from Wildcoast, and the support from the local music and surf community, the night will be filled with a mix of the best reggae music, great company and positive message to educate and motivate the youth about this great cause and issues that are so prevalent today.
The performances take place Friday, July 14th with the doors opening at 6. A portion of the proceeds raised will be donated directly to WiLDCOAST, a local environmental non-profit in Imperial Beach which is working to stop the toll road through Trestles as well as raise awareness about South San Diego County water quality problems.
710 Beach Club is located at 710 Garnet Avenue in the heart of Pacific Beach, please call 858.483.2386 for more info and directions. Showbills and time slots subject to change.

AT ISSUE...
The Transportation Corridor Agency, a privately held company, is seeking to build an extension to the existing 241 Toll Road. The proposed Foothill Transportation Corridor South (FTC-South) is a sixteen-mile long toll road highway that would connect the current terminus of the 241 Toll Road to Interstate 5. The TCA is proposing six alignments for this project; four of which run directly through and along San Mateo Creek. If constructed, not only would this project directly threaten the world class surf break at and around Trestles (including Uppers, Lowers, Middles, Church and Cottons), the project would also result in the obliteration of Southern California's last remaining pristine coastal watershed and substantially degrade habitat that is critical for the survival of at least seven endangered species, including the Southern Steelhead trout.
HOW WILL THE 241 SAN MATEO CREEK ALIGNMENTS AFFECT THE SURFING?
