POST BURTON B PREMIER

Mel — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 22:30:00 +0000

So, having already seen the video – i knew what to expect and the whole IMAX deal was cool. It was like we were all on a field trip. There were goody bags and some of the team riders were there to give out some rad prizes. The video is a bit short but over alllllll the riders parts are decent and the big banger ender, it was my favorite part, was pretty rad. Everybody is gonna hate and be like that video was stupid blah blah blah Shaun White this blah blah. Yeah, he had a ridiculous(in a not so good way) part, but it’s SW…what else do you expect. So anyways, i liked the video but the after party at Ozzies was where the REAL fun was had…

one word.

KARAOKE

I’m just gonna come out and say probably the best four performances of my Karaoke career.
Kumara and I performed such hits as:

Everybody – Baskstreet Boys
Red Light Special – TLC
Bohemian Rhapsody – Queen
and
Walk Like an Egyptian – The Bengals

Needless to say I’m pretty sure Kumara and I out Karaoke’d Mason and others…despite the claim of karaoke masters.
sadly something was wrong with my camera and a lot of the pics came out blurry
but you can still get the jist of how good the night was.

red light special

“now throw ya hands up in the air – and wave’em ’round like ya just dont careee”

So as you can see from the pics…we got down…waaaaaaay down.
oh and just a lilt reminder…I’m completely sober…
I like to party.

i cant wait for all of ours next time to party…oh it’s tomorrow…what a surprise!

HOW THE NORTHWEST WAS ONE PREMIER

Mel — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 20:47:00 +0000

OK so seriously one of the funnest premiers I’ve been to in a while.
The video was EPIC and on tip of it the environment had high fives and good vibes flowing throughout.
The show was held at Evo and packed full with at least 100 people supporting each and every rider in the video. Cheering and woo-hooing for every rider throughout the whole film was awesome. The feeling was just amptness on top of stokedness. Just being in the jam packed shop – you couldn’t help but wanna strap in right there.

The video had an obvious western theme. Kinda like how Familia had the mafia deal – these NW boys were cowboys. The boys couldn’t have been more pumped. All little boys grow up pretending to be cowboys and now they’re all in a video together being cowboys AND snowboarding. BAM. 2 birds 1 video. You could tell they had fun making it and we all had a blast watching it. Big up to my friend Joe Bosler who had the big ender. Stoked for him.

here’s the teaser to check out – i highly recommend spendin’ the cash and gettin’ this one for that dusty shelf of yours.

and here are some pics from the night…

my friend Ryan was the bunny that night… so good

After the show was my friend Kumara’s “IM ON A BOAT” birthday party here are some shots from that…

this is Cowboy.

boat in the kitchen
who wants a mustache ride…any takers?

The night over all was awesome i was stoked to see some people and even more stoked to hangout with them for the remainder of the night. I’m going to miss Seattle more than i thought i would. it’s a shame i love Mammoth so much…mid season trip? I think so.

THINK THANK ” Cool Story” PREMIER

Mel — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 22:16:00 +0000

So up here in WA Think Thank is the local hoo-ra. Don’t blame’em – these guys are rad. They have some of the most progressive riders in the biz and all conveniently located here in the greater Seattle area. Jesse Burtner, founder and owner of Think Thank as expected did it again with his sixth video.

It was based on a time line of last season and all the riders shared a different, their part, of the story. I thought it was really fun the way it was laid out. The riding. The traveling and definitely the music all really rad but just like Videograss…a tad long? i dunno maybe I’m just getting old who knows. Go check it out if it comes to a town near you. Heres the teaser…

Cool Story – Think Thank’s 2009-2010 Snowboarding Film from vas entertainment on Vimeo.

The night also brought us “As Green As It Gets” which is Sno-Cons and YKWII team video.
these guys? awesome. here’s another little teaser for ya…

VIDEOGRASS & AIR BLASTER PREMIER

Mel — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 07:03:00 +0000

made it out last night to Havana’s where the Videograss and new Air Blaster video’s were to premier. Besides it being cold for once at night, the Drive- In movie setup was pretty rad. couches, lawn chairs and a big wall to project on? sweetness.
they played the Air Blaster film first to get us all pumped and ready. Man oh man – i don’t think I’ve laughed so hard during a snow vid since the special features in LAME. so good. those boys went all over. NC, Tokyo, Japan just havin all sorts of fun. the feel of the video was like something you would make with your krew on your home mtn. the commentary was all just convo of how they enjoy riding with each other. it was a sweet video – I’ll def be downloading it for free soon…plus that asian guy? ” i like cream of young boy?” fuck me – so good.
HA

might I mention that before the video, after the video, and then after the second video…RAFFLE!
tons of stuff was gettin raffled off. i think like 3 boards boots bindings tons of beanies headphones everything – you name it – even free beer.

on to Videograss. i honestly don’t really remember much of if it due tot he fact that i was freezing..
but fer real…the riders were good i think some of the parts were a little long. the video itself felt longer than the avg. snow vid. but it was good
I’d watch it again fer sher.
horrible review
i know
get over it.

i finally got to sleep in and all in preparations for tomorrow nights premier of THINK THANKS ” Cool Story” video

these next few weeks are packed with premiers…STOKED
keep checkin back

end.

HAPPY HOURS-HAPPY DAYS

Mel — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 00:01:00 +0000

after spending the morning in Issaquah i started the night by going to EVO’s HAPPY HOUR and hanging out with some old friends and making some new ones. Usually being the only sober one amongst the group i end up driving a couple friends home. Doing so, i always have the pleasure of seeing them the next morning to return their cars. Last night was no different. I took Molly and Chris home with Molly’s car and kept the car over night and this morning went and picked up Chris to take him to his car @ Evo. After, we grabbed some coffee and tea before meeting up with Molly for lunch.

We had lunch at this neat little Italian place and had some super good paninis and talked about some new work that is going to be done on and to the blog. (ooooh ahhhhhh)

After lunch Molly used me as a model for the new Tom’s Shoes that they just got into the shop. The pictures on the site check the link for a look see. While in the shop i decided that i need/want to treat myself to some new clothes. not finding anything i REALLY liked, Chris and i decided to bail and headed to Golden Gardens for a stroll along the “beach”. it makes me chuckle a little bit every time they call it a beach but oh well – I’ll let you seattlites keep what “beach” you have. snapped this pic on our way out
After Golden Gardens, Chris decided to play a bit of a tour guide I guess you could say and took us downtown. we went a meandered around going into the glass blowing place and watching people play with molten mag-ga-ma. i found these and I want.
after the glass shop we went to the shopping district where i picked up this new shirt
I’m gonna go back tomorrow and get it in teal also. love this thing. H&M is rad for cheap shit like this.

all in all it was an eventful day compared to most I’ve had here in Seattle so far.
had a great time
new friends are always fun
and Chris wants some custom art…so that will be fun.

end.
