Hey Gavitron and Griz-Boy

Gavitron – Firstly I want to say I’m sorry if we have offended you in any way. It disappoints me that there in this negative attitude towards people trying to do something good in this town. We have already spent countless hours on the phone, organizing entertainment, transportation, lots of beer, and various other fun stuff (all in our own time) so as anyone who is prepared to part with $15 can have a good time.

We are under no misconception that The Mogul Smoker is a Fernie tradition and are in no way claiming it as our own. Me and my partner just want everyone to have a good party, and good parties cost money. Sure a bonfire with a bunch of diehard locals and a few out of town ski bums may have been a good party in the 80’s, and if you were to organise it this year I’m sure it would still be a good time. But we have taken the initiative to organise it this year and its very disappointing that you seem to want to bash it.

Please keep in mind that we are making no money whatsoever out of this and all the services are provided by local businesses, and at this stage funded out of our pockets. Last year they charged $10 and you didn’t get any alcohol, this year we are putting on lots as part of the ticket price. I find it confusing that you say we are ripping off charity. The funding for the party is coming from ticket sales and our pockets.

Griz Boy – please don’t try and drive out to the party and come for free. Everyone that comes for free means that I pay. I have already spent shit loads of time and money organising this and its just not really very nice.

PS who said it was at Coal Creek anyway?

Basically, if you don’t want to come don’t, but if you want a great time with lots of good music and alcohol (all for $15, $15 buck man) then come, bring your friends and have a good time.

Thanks alot
Mark
