Rome's "No Correct Way" and "The Bluebird Movie"
Well, if you were foolish enough not to get a cab (yep - we know someone who did that!), it was still definitely worth the walk from the Gas Lamp district of San Diego up to Modus Bar and Lounge for "Under the Influence".
Why? Free beer!!
Well, that and the much-anticipated snowboard movie premiers of Rome’s "No Correct Way" and "The Bluebird Movie" from Bluebird wax. To inject a little personal stamp of approval on where the Bluebird crew is coming from, their tagline is: Snowboarding...it was better when you hated us. As any sport becomes bigger and more mainstream, it unfortunately can become a hostage to corporate money and corporate marketing and morphs into something that its originators never intended. Hopefully all the guys associated with the company can fare better than so many other promising brands that have come and gone over the last two decades of snowboarding.
The night got a little fuzzy pretty quickly, but I remember that our homies over at reelcomp.com were doing a webcast, our extended family JP Lagos over at thesnowlife.com kept the beers coming, John Foy from our friends down the hill at Boards 'n Motion was all smiles, and Runke the Rome team manager was up to - or should I say "down to" - his normal mischievous ways!!
