Telus In a Nutshell

Wow, Telus Ski and Snowboard Festival is done. Took me a bit to adjust the last lil while, not having any shows to go shoot. All during Telus, Garfinkels Nightclub hired me shoot their events for eight days straight, and it was a blast. From dj's like the guys from Ministry of Sound to Scratch Bastid. Plus Dead Prez, Pharoah Monk, The Deadcats, Son Real and a crazy party put on by the Partysnake guys, it has taken me weeks recover.

  Not being a real dj lover, I gotta say that Scratch Bastid was amazing, putting on a real wicked show.

  Son Real for me was the undercard for the week and scored a K O. Check him out if you ever get the chance.

  The Dead Prez were good, actuallly they were amazing considering Canada Customs held them at the airport for over seven hours. And after all the bullshit they had to put up with to get to Whistler from New York, 4 one show, they were in great spirits. Joking with the crowd and being real, not stopping halfway through a song to ask if someone smokes weed was really refreshing.

  Pharoah Monk was the best show of the week, it was a show and a half. They had crowd eating out of the palm of their hands. The really cool thing about it too was that after the show they hung around the bar and partied.

 The craziest night was the Partysnake party. Shit was fun that night, from me dealing with the craziest person I have ever met, (she was sure that she could find a door through the brick wall), to half

naked girls dancing on  stage, and finally some idiot who thought he wanted to fight me. 

 I gotta get some sleep. Next show is Bel Rios and local faves The Fall of Summer on May 29th.
