This was a keg party which was thrown from Wendy L. at Billy A.'s house. It appears there was two shows this day, and fortunately there are pictures both shows.

• Wendy: "This was a party I threw in Huntington at a friend's house (Billy A.). This is the day I introduced Sublime to Costa Mesa. They came over to my pad after and I fed them and then took them to another friends party around the corner (Sal and Ed's house). They played on a skateboard ramp, the cops came and busted it, they asked us to come right back and they set up again and played until the cops came back.

"Yep that is the story. I believe the punk song he (Thomas) is thinking of is a cover they did from Descendents, the song was "Loser". It became one of my favorites as well. Every time I was present they would play it at my request. I have quite a few stories as I hung out with them for a couple of months afterwards. They were just cool people. Brad was so humble. I have stories of a trip to TJ... so many shows I can't remember. They passed out their four song demo tape (http://www.sublimewiki.com/index.php?title=C003 C003]that night as well. This was just a week or so before C003 was released and they were passing out copies. Should have held onto that one! My best Friend Billy A. knew them some how. I wanted to have a party at his house and he suggested calling them up so we would have a band. After Sal's house we went back to Pete's house, where we became friends. Some of the funnest times I had were with those guys. As for the pictures, of course my favorite one is of Brad, Bud and myself."

• Wendy: After the first party, Wendy took them to her friends house, Sal and Ed's house. This is where the second set of pictures **MAY** have come from. This is where they played on a skateboard ramp. The cops busted the party up and then the band came back an hour later. "I remember Brad toe tappin on the bottom of the ramp"

• Thomas Ralph: "West side Costa Mesa my friends back yard kegger probably 89 they played on a half pipe....I remember it was midnight they played smoke two joints, I thought it was the coolest fucking thing i ever heard....A fight broke out earlier that night a good one and sublime went right into a punk song and played during the fight it was sick" - Thomas Ralph
