So, I wish you could take a peek inside 91X right now - it is like a beehive. Our promotions people are building some contraption for the X-fest stage and trying to find the intern who is fanning me and feeding me bon bons. Our staff is going crazy pulling together all of the madness that is going to be 91X-Fest XII - it's next Friday! Want cheap tickets?  Like, 91X and Bud Light taking $5.00 off and no service charge - style? Go HERE for info the hook up.

How about buy 3 and BFF? Huh? Buy 3 X-fest tickets and Bring a Friend Free.. 4 tickets for the price of 3 is what I am trying to say. It's a limited offer available at ticketmaster.com now through June 4 at 10:00am.  Don't wait before these are gone, get 4 tickets for the price of 3 now.  The password is "91X" - click HERE for the deal.

And keep listening to 91X as we continue to give you X-Fest tickets every hour, 9am - 5pm weekdays, with the seats getting better and better every day as we get closer to the show! Another bon bon, intern!  Thanks to Toyota Carlsbad Scion.

This Saturday, you can get your Turtle on as you head out to Moonlight Beach in Encinitas for the 2nd Annual Switchfoot Bro-Am Surf Contest and Concert. It benefits Casa de Amparo, and surfing starts at 7am. Live music starts at Noon and includes sets by Switchfoot, Ryan Ferguson, Tristan Prettyman, and This Holiday Life, among others. Rick Kane is stoked, he might get Kiani to put some more aloe on his reef rash if he's lucky. Not sure if horses are allowed on the beach there though. Anyhow, get more info HERE.

Friday (6/2) from Noon to 2:00pm, join Cantore, Jennifer White and Ruggy at Preston's Performance Center for the Debut of "El Chupacabra!"  That's the van a listener gave to the morning show.. Preston's have completely restored it into a killer driving machine, you gotta see it to believe it!  Free lunch from Chipotle while it lasts, and tons of prizes to win.  Head to the X-Stops page for more info and directions.
