The Smiley Smile Message Board

Yep , Seasons Greetings to all on this ( rather great ) board.

I know/guess that 2013 won't be quite the same for us BB's fans as 2012 was , but hey lets just enjoy whatever comes our way.

Hopefully our 2013 will be 'Made In California'!

Thanks Rob! Merry christmas to all you guys!

Hard to believe any year could match 2012 but let's wait-see…

No-one could have predicted this year's treasures – new album, two singles, 12 remasters, reunion tour, Live DVD, Postcards physical, Do It Again DVD, Songwriter DVD, 50 Sides book, Phil being banned - so I wouldn't dare nay-say 2013 just yet either.

2013's already holding promise - new album from Dave, box set in the works, Jon & Ian's book, new edition of Steve Desper's book, tantalising hints of a new band album and tour, two DVD live backstage type documentary, possible Grammy for TSS… what have I missed out?

So yes indeedy, Happy Christmas everyone, AND A BLOODY MARVELLOUS NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you, dear fellow members, and best seasonal wishes to all here from the Don too!

I am hoping for that MiC box set next year, and a full band tour to go with it (and a Dutch show or two), by the way.

Merry Christmas! It's Christmas Eve here, my first without my grandmother, it's gonna be a rough one...

Anywho, it was a great year, I can't wait to release my next album in early 2013!

You missed this:  http://balsabill.com/Surfboards,Stratocasters,StripedShirts.htm  ( since, evidently, no-one here has purchased it yet) 

Mine shipped his morning…

Merry Christmas to all my friends here: it was a pretty rough one for me post-spring - knowing I had somewhere I could come with no questions asked helped a lot. Here's to a 2013 that's eve half as outstanding as 2012. I don't think I could stand much more than that !  :old

For all I treasure, I hope 2013 will be equally outstanding to 2012 !

Merry Christmas Everyone! This past year has been terrific and truly the Year of The Beach Boys. It has been great having you all here to share it with. Thank you for your friendship. Peace to you all!

Merry Christmas to all here. I must say this board is amazing!

Hi everyone - I hope you all have a great day, no matter how huge or humble your celebrations may be.

Echoing above sentiments, C50 has been wonderful and a big thanks to all who played a part.

Best wishes for the new year - Alan

Merry Christmas to the best board on the internet!!!! Hope 2013 is as wonderful as 2012 to the great people here.

Merry Christmas! Shitter was full!

It's shown up a couple other places on the board, but on this special night, thought I'd link to the one Mike clip out there that out-kitsches "Santa's Goin' To Kokomo," from the highly obscure 1980s TV special "Scrooge's Rock'n'Roll Christmas" (with veteran Western actor Jack Elam in the title role).

Merry Xmas and Happy 2013.

Merry Christmas Smiley Smilers! Hope your 2013 is filled with lots of love and laughter :)  Thanks for helping make 2012 so much fun.  By the way, it's 37 degrees here and I'm sitting in the air con with melted chocolates eeeeehh

Finally got my copy of 50 Sides!  Hope you all have a wonderful one!

Merry Christmas to all!  :wave

Merry Christmas, Everybody! Hope you all have a great one!  :-D

Happy Christmas, everyone!

Merry Christmas everybody

Hope everyone has a great Christmas and a happy new year!

Great to land here this year amongst so many passionate fans of the world's greatest band...Merry Xmas to all of you and to Brian, Mike, Al, Bruce, David, the memories of Dennis and Carl, all of the band's support team (family, musicians, etc.) over the years. What a long, strange, but exhilarating ride it's been...as BW buddy Neil Young said: "Long may you run!"

I had a great day with friends and family with some Beach Boys playing in the backround.


I Hope every member has a happy Christmas and an even better new year!  ;D

Happy Holidays to everyone!

I got stiffed on the BB front for gifts this year.  I put all of the remasters on my wishlist as well as a couple of DVDs I hadn't picked up yet.  Not a single one was purchased for me!  I guess I have to take care of myself once again... :-D

Don't you hate it when that happens… still as long as it's in-hand…


:lol

I'm late to this thread as I've been doing some traveling for the holidays, but I hope you all had an awesome Christmas.  Mine was great.  There were two Beach Boys related items under my tree.  One was the Doin' it Again dvd and the other was this treasure:

I know I'm a few years late to the party on that one, but my brother-in-law drew my name in the family secret Santa exchange and found this on ebay for me.  Very cool indeed.  It's the only Beach Boy autograph I own. 

Another music related gift came from my awesome wife.  She got me a Jeff Mangum (the main man of Neutral Milk Hotel) T-shirt and two tickets to his sold out solo show here in my hometown.  I'm so pumped!!
