Tragedy Evoking Success at Surf Boutique
Surfindian had a record crowd for the Mattson 2 Benefit, as the jazz band took on the stage and over 50 artists donated their work to help the Mattson family.
The turnout was the best that Surfindian has seen so far, according to Chris Rule, Surfindian Owner. There were people from all over California, some coming from as far as the Bay Area, like Jay and his wife, who were part of the group organizing the gathering. Despite of the tragic reason for the gathering, the cheerfulness and enthusiasm of the crowd filled the room and, as their number kept growing, the people silently expressed their support while strolling into the Pacific Beach boutique. The night started with an early performance by the Mattson 2, which then led into the silent auction, where bidders wrote in their offers. At about 9pm, Rule climbed onto a chair to announce the auction winners, having to demand silence several times as the chattering continued. Then wrapping up the night, the Mattson 2 returned to the stage, finishing with a stellar and heartfelt performance.
