The Whistler premiere of "Sixes and Sevens" took place at the GLC on Oct. 17th. Presented by Showcase (along with PUSH.ca), the festivities started off with a private pre-party at the shop. Plenty of free beer was flowing, thanks to our homies at Kokanee. I heard rumours of some people indulging in 9 or 10 beers before the real party even started. Once it did though, it was wiiiild. We hit capacity at around 10 and the GLC was roaring. Check out the photos!
Mike Budgeon and Mike Jones getting things started. Thanks to all the boys and girls at Showcase! Especially Jay, Jenna and Budgeon for organizing the party!
There were some very nice girls there.
Also, there was Darryl.
Brad Broughton with his Winnipeg shred homies, Andrew Geeves, Kevin Griffin, Jody Wachniak and Darrah Reid-Maclean.
Brad again, with the Westcase crew, Mike, Nada, Mark, Dave and Marcos.
The Crowd was there and stoked to watch the "PeachFuzz" video!
Dave Craig and Lenny Rubenovitch. Thanks to Brian Hockenstein and Lenny Rubenovitch for providing a sweet little Westbeach heritage edit for us to watch!
Kia Mowatt, Jon V, Joe Seebs and Kimura, more from her later.
Shannon Liddel and Zach Dale, two of NuuLife's bestest buddies.
Take note, these guys make shred videos happen. Andrew Geeves, Clay Larsen, David Brocklebank, and Ryan Sliziak.
Movie time! We played the flick to a packed house. If you could see there faces, you would see a bunch of wide eyes and slack jaws, as thats the double dogan on screen.
The crowd enoying Adam Chuntz' part... as well as the cinematography of Colin D. Watt.
Colin Watt's talents include much more than just camera work... lifting small men is also one of his fortes.
On the flip side, the lifting of Colin can prove very difficult for some.
Scott Sharpe and Shannon Liddell also trying to get in on the action.
Dave Craig and solid teamrider Dale Bailey gettin the party started.
This is Jess, Claudia, and Sam moments before they started a mosh pit.
And this is after.
Jon Versteeg has many lady fans.
DJ Praiz was spinnin the maaad beats, much love. Homie Steve Slen was there to provide emotional support.
Some shenanigans near the end of the night.
Nick Roy reppin' for our homies at Eff Tee.
Unbeknownst to us, apparently we appeal to a very wide demographic. NuuLife marketing coordinator Jenna Henderson and some of our more elderly fans. Big thanks to Jenna for planning the whole event, and a large majority of the entire tour!!!
Brad Broughton never dissapoints.
We love you Praiz!
If you're lookin' for a good time, be sure to join us in Vancouver on the 29th at the Bourbon (CLICK HERE), and Kelowna on HALLOWEEN at the Well (CLICK HERE)
