Allan Weisbecker redux

http://www.banditobooks.com/

Go visit the site. Buy a book if you are so inclined, but this is not a book website. Its a thing, a meeting room , or vacation getaway for those who belong to the club without a roster.

A few years ago when I 1st made my 2nd attempt at surfing, I began to devour the surfing world and culture in any way I could. In part this included reading about surfing, surfers, and books written by surfers. Then it hit me like pillowcase full of sexwax..I found "In Search of Captain Zero" and then soon after "Cosmic Banditos" by Allan Weisbecker. His website talked about his plight to get his next book..Can't you get along with anyone" published. I finally just emailed the address on his website to tell him what his works meant to me and I actually got a reply. I never met the guy in person, but I'd say he was a friend. In a surreal sense, we need each other. If you have never read anything by Weisbecker, I would suggest reading In Search of Captain Zero first, then maybe just wait a few months and read the others. Then wait a year or so and read them all again.
