We just rolled the truck back from Squamish! Holy fuck, Basscoast!

The police were so stoked about the saunatruck they insisted we get a tow from Lions Bay up to Squamish after we hung out with them for an hour or two on the highway. By the time we got to the festival our special agents had our riverfront site marked out ready for 4 days of sweaty nights and icewater plunges. The truck was made for this. We were made for this.

SpiltMilk, MC Think Tank and I are heading up to Whistler to play this party tonight. It's at a really sweet location. Read on for directions. We play at 3am.

A fundraiser for the local independent internet radio station... WWW.FREEWHISTLER.COM. One stage, three nights and two days with local talent playing/performing electronic music to help raise money for upgrades to the recording equipment/software for our station. If you want to play or help out with the production, leave a post on the wall. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Only $10 a night!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CONFIRMED TALENT so far... Whatevan, Kori.K, Milton, Chris Viner, The Librarian, Gnome Chompski, Stevie James, Miss Kosmik, Phroh, Woodhead,Spilt Milk, Miss Instigator, Sarah Hannah, Shandy Rae, Surgeon, Tim Livingstone, Pebbles, Pitch n Putt, Jimi Ray, Kevin West, Double D, dj &E, Sean "Lotus" Crosse, Joshua, Al Churchill, Kit Kat, vz Zero AND... more to come. Will be open decks during the day(s), so there will be lots of room for anyone else interested.

The party is set up near the bungee bridge (6km south of Whistler) left hand side (going south). Go past the turn, go to next exit, hang a u turn, go right at bungee turn off, go down road few km, past two gravel pits, on right hand side, down hill, by river. Please park on extreme right or better yet take a cab. 604 932 3333 or 604 938 1515...They will get you there and back safe. Bring some warm gear and be prepared to have a great weekend full of wicked beats and GOOD VIBES
So before the turn to the bungee bridge, there is a narrow road on the right, follow this until it ends, you will see cars parked, you can't drive right into the party. From there starts a path, you have to walk down some stairs, or listen for bass!!! If confused, please email or post to the wall!!! (i think the boys are on markers now as well)

Be safe, responsible, pack for weather, no glass, bring in only what you plan on taking back with you, smile and have fun!!! Happy Canada Day!!!

HOW TO ASSEMBLE A FUNKOREE FROM A BUNCH OF DIFFERENT CITY ADDRESSES:
in a magic spot near mile 23 1/3 of the squamish valley logging road from VANCOUVER travel north on the highway 99 go through squamish turn left towards paradise valley/ squamish valley (right at this junction would take you to alice lake) go over train tracks and small bridge veer left up squamish valley, not right up paradise valley observe posted signs: people, animals and logging trucks live in this area at mile 20 the paved road ends .... only 3 and 1/3 miles of logging road left there is a brief patch of paved road
pass a hydro pant on the right and a bridge across squamish river on the left look for mile markers on right after mile 23 marker slowdown and find the entrance to the campsite on the left we usually have the entrance marked in one way or another but these often get torn down multiple times during the event.
