Wow. I don’t think I could have asked for a better party. I can’t even thank everyone enough for all your hard work and support and for making it the best party ever (as several people were quoted to have said many, many times throughout the evening.) 5 amazing bands (who would all tell you that the party was NOT just a rave):

Red Ant Army
A Certain Something
Identity Crisis
The Turrettes
BDFM

12 fantastic DJ’s (and 1 MC):

DJ Irie Been Jammin’
DJ Lucas
DJ Cona
DJ Paddy Blue
DJ Avid Pupil
DJ Proph (my personal favorite from the evening)
DJ Cain & MC 420
Southern Spinners
Yanic Panic

You are all more than welcome to come back next year.

To the lighting crew, who not only created the coolest design, but also came back to help take it down and help clean up.

To the best roommates EVER, without them it couldn’t have happened.

To Justin, Rhett and all the crew at the Royal, couldn’t have done it without you.

To the best girl in Fernie, Keya, the best graphic designer in town, a fantastic artist, and one of the best friends a girl could ever ask for.

And to all of you wicked party people out there who stayed out all night in -28 degree weather – your enthusiasm was contagious.

I’m not one for breaking tradition, but I would rather continue the tradition (while making minor adjustments) than losing the tradition altogether. The party was, and always has been, a gathering of friends to celebrate the upcoming season and paying our respects to the Griz. And I think that the Griz was suitably impressed.

Fernie, you rock….

Fernie is the most amazing place I’ve ever lived in the whole world, ever. I’ve moved here for life (or until Walmart arrives in town). The only complaint I’ve ever had about Fernie, is the lack of a night life, seeing as dancing is my second favorite pass time to snowboarding. I’ve been to a few mogul smokers. Each one has been [b:nnooryqs]completely[/b:nnooryqs] different from the one before. I didn’t even want to throw the mogul smoker, I just wanted to have a good party, but it seemed as if everyone in town wanted to have a mogul smoker, but noone had the guts to throw one. So here we are, hours and hours of planning later and people have the audacity to say that what we are trying to do is a bad thing. I mean anyone who thinks burning skis is going to bring snow has to have the brain capacity of snowflake. Secondly, why is it so bad that we want to try to have something for everyone. Whether you want to admit it or not, Fernie is one of the most multicultural small towns in Canada, and everyone enjoys a good party. So just cough up your f***ing $15 (oh wait, you waited too long, you’re going to have to pay $25 by the time you read this) and support a new tradition, one that embraces new ideas and concepts. And the money is going to the charity that gave birth to the most precious dog who ever lived, but unfortunately died this past week. This ones for you Vixen.

PS Thanks immensely to everyone who put so much time and effort into this event, you will be rewarded from the Griz…
