Super June in California?

[c_wilburn]

So here we are out in lonely ol' Kentucky, getting cold and thinking about road tripping.
A band of us are working out the details to go from Mid-America's funfest in Effingham Il out to the Blackstar campground to experience the California scene.
I've heard the El Prado show (on the 11th) is the one to go to and that the Classic has moved itself to the following week. We would be arriving on the 9th and leaving on the afternoon of the 18th. What other must do events are going on during that time? I know about the Thing meet, and the OCTO show but don't know the dates of other events like Pierside open house, DKP cruise, the toy show and anything else.
Can someone provide a list of events and their days during what looks like it may become a Super Week?
Also, once Blackstar campground is done we will be looking for a place to stay for that next week, any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
