MSP has out done themselves yet again with the latest add to their repoirtorie, "Push". I don't know about you, but I have a love-hate relationship with this time of year. Some of the sickest video premiers roll into town from some of the most amazing production companies. It's this time of year when every morning when you..re out the door you're debating whether you should bust out your new jacket already or if its too early, all the while thinking to yourself, ..Nah, it'll get warm later this afternoon.... but you bring it anyway. It's this time of year when temperatures drop and the first snowfall across the country teases us intermittently.. then the next week it feels like the summer again. This time of year, all your friends and industry folk alike amass in one place to share the one undying passion for the VP. That's the love.

On Friday, September 29, 2006, Seattle, Washington was lucky enough to experience an evening of emotional highs from what can easily be dubbed as one of the season..s most epic films. I hadn't even seen the trailer, and all I was going off of was friends saying, "Oh dude, I know some guy in a different time zone who just got out and said it was siiiiick". Yeah, thanks. Anyhow, Fremont Studios was gracious enough to open its doors and roll out the red carpet for an evening of what I was soon to find out to be a night of awesomeness. Pre-show, the mood was super chill, people slowly started to trickle in as the doors opened. I actually looked away for a bit, then turned the corner and all of a sudden, mobs! Lines ceased to mean anything and everyone was so stoked to get inside. How can you blame them? Ingrid Backstrom herself was present and accounted for signing autographs and kickin.. it with co-star Sammy Carlson. Eric Pollard? Don't think that I wasn't keeping my eyes open for the Line Team Shredder, but he was no where to be seen that night except for on the screen droppin it hot as usual.


I don't need to sit here and tell you how rad the flick was. Okay, it was rad. Before you run out to buy it though, I'll giver a go at ranting about the After Party hosted by none other. Following the movie, I was swept away with the masses as we took a short trek down the street to the nerve center of evo (www.evogear.com) a Seattle based retail and online lifestyle and apparel shop. So at this point, we..ve got a mob of stoked skiers, an open bar, Vancouver Hip Hop legends Sweatshop Union, and well, you guessed it, from there the night transitions to non-stop ski talk, break battles, red bull pulling out all the stops , and 6 empty kegs.. and that was only night 2 of a 3 night movie weekend for evo! Let the pictures do the talking!
