TGR Premiere Went Off In Whistler 2008

3pm Wednesday afternoon - 27hrs to showtime and the Under the Influence DVD is in the back of a couriers truck, somewhere between the US boarder and Whistler. Future is uncertain.

11:59pm Thursday night - 2 blindfolded finalists are 7 shots deep into the contest, spinning blindfolded in disarray, wondering which of them is about to take home a pair of ROSSIGNOL S7's.

How did it come to this? What happened? Why is the room spinning, and why is there ketchup on my pants?

Back to 6:49 pm Thursday evening - 11 minutes to showtime and the Gaper Day DVD has just finished burning on a laptop in the lobby, right under the nose of unsuspecting movie goers, yet to be tested and previewed by nobody.

7:28pm Thursday - Somebody is probably fearing for their life as the last few DVD's get projectiled into the crowd, and the feature film - TGR's Whistler premiere of Under the Influence - is about to begin.

That much we can be certain of, the rest is a bit of a blur of ridiculous big mountain spines, pillows, double drops, straightlines, freebies, snowblades, stretchies, heli's, beers, athlete props and more. Simply put, Doglotion.com's night was packed with the TGR Whistler premiere, Gaper Day world premiere, and Fear & Loathing in Whistler after party at the Longhorn, and it didn't suck.

The show kicked off with a Gaper Day double header. TGR shredder Dana Flahr showed his hilarious take on what went down on the last day of Whistler Blackcomb's season, followed by Reed Purvis's masterpiece of rock skiing, worm turns, puddle skimming and debauchery.

Out came the swag and prizes, and local shredders Dana Flahr, Ian McIntosh and Kye Petersen were in the crowd to represent and pump it up.

When the main flick started, jaws dropped and the big mountain gnar began. TGR definitely knows their niche, and when Seth Morrison disses the jibbers he's been stuck with the last few years, the crowd let it out, setting the stage for an hour of the most big-mountain-packed footage we've seen to date. The local boys totally kill it, even giving legend Jeremy Jones a run for his money. And when the show wrapped, butts were glued to seats until the very last credit rolled.

Then off the Longhorn for some after party sillyness and of course the Rossignol ski giveaway, which proved even rowdier than anyone saw coming. You kinda had to be there, but picture an improvised game of musical shots, with rules changing every minute until a very lucky guy ended up with his face deep in a whipcream topped shot and a new pair of ROSSIGNOL S7's in his hand.

Kudos to the runner up, half his size, for given'er until the last round. She would have taken it too, but a confused and delirious judge (cough, Tobin) told her we couldn't change it into a flashing contest. Dare to dream.

Until next year, when another sold out TGR show comes to a theatre near you...

Thanks...

Huge thanks to Millennium Place (Dennis, Lina, Lynn, Lindsay et al) and the Longhorn Saloon (Harrison & staff) for making it happen, and to our local event sponsors SUREFOOT, WHISTLER BLACKCOMB, COMOR SPORTS, RECCO, and last but certainly not least... ROSSIGNOL who threw down for the grand prize skis. Oh ya, and of courser to TGR, for making really really rediculously good looking movies.

OK, so we've been showing teasers the last few weeks, and there's plenty more to come. But this is the one that counts. TGR's new flick 'Under the Influence', coming to the big screens this fall.

Mark your calendars, Doglotion is bringin' y'all the Whistler premiere October 2nd, and Vancouver Oct 16th. And rumours of a fund-raiser show in Squamish are already circulating. Stay tuned, and get ready to bring it.
