That’s because Possessed was scheduled to headline, and since the members of Sadistic Intent always make everything a money issue, they weren’t able to raise the correct amount of cash. Tidal Wave has always been a great festival and it’s always been about entertaining all the families who want a nice day in the outdoors to enjoy great music. Bottom line: Possessed flakes out on most of their shows, because their management is composed of posers.

I really missed seeing the Tidal Wave festival this year. The Tidal Wave is an annual two-day metal festival held each year at the amphitheater. It has been held every year for over 10 years. This year it didn’t happen due to lack of funds. It’s always a great crowd — lots of families and kids seeing music that they would otherwise never get to see.

Let’s hope it’s back for 2010.

McLaren Park – particularly on the end where the the amphitheater is…SFs best kept secret.

it’s horrible. don’t go there. especially don’t take your dog up to the reservoir. they’ll hate it. giant alligators. raping, stabbing alligators. really, don’t go there, and don’t bring a picnic, or look at the view from on top of the hill on the left of the path up to the reservoir. don’t bring your mountain bike either. and don’t hike up to the water tower. and don’t look out for all kinds of fauna, particularly the red tail hawks and the occasional crane. it’s a horrible place overall. just skip it.

also, don’t go watch semi-pro soccer in adjoining crocker park on weekends…with a beer at broken record afterward.

(that said, the end of McLaren where the golf course is, over by the sunnydale houses, can be a little sketchy, for real).

McLaren Park really is great. And if you’re a fan of golfball then, in my opinion, Gleneagles is the best the city has to offer if you take into account cost and convenience. Just be ready for a lot of sloping lies and be sure to keep up the speed of play.
