Spring update: PREMIER THURSDAY!!!

After the long wait, The Shuttle Rig crew is all back in Bozeman. Bradford, Pat, Ben and myself have been suffering from a seemingly endless winter which has provided record snowpacks and if summer ever comes, will hopefully provide a runoff here like the four of us have never seen before. Despite all of our gripes, the bashful summer has been a good thing because The Catalyst is finally completed. Thanks to Ben, Bradford, and the video editing mastermind Zack Melms, for their countless hours of tedious, hard work; Things are all falling into place. This Thursday, 7PM at the Procrastinator Theater (on MSU campus in Linfield Hall) three fresh, new, kayaking films will be premiering at the Bozeman Paddling Film Festival. The first of which is The Oil and Water Project which documents Seth Warren, and Tyler Bradt's epic adventure from the north slope of Alaska to the southern tip of South America all using a converted vegetable oil-burning bus. The second film will be the No Big Names crew's newest film Hotel Charlie 3: The Lost World which brings some incredible footage in British Columbia, Newfoundland, and many other exotic locations. Then of course, there will be The Catalyst, Ben and Bradford's brain child of the past year which follows our crew around and throughout Montana, BC, and Central America. Come check it out. All Proceeds from the premier go to the Biofuel Education Coalition and First Descents kayak camp for cancer patients. Tickets are $7 and can be purchased at the door, Barrel Mountaineering, Northern Lights Trading Company, and Cactus Records in Bozeman. For those of you out of staters, DVDs will be out and about before too long; we haven't decided quite yet how we're going to sell/distribute them, but shout us a comment, email, text, or call, and we'll make sure we get enough copies made for everyone who wants one.
Yesterday was very hot and the rivers are starting to spike. I better go paddle now, see you at the premier.
