VIHC.net VAN ISLE HARDCORE BOARD

First I want to say, that you are all amazing people. I feel very lucky to have a group like you to make life so much more fun.

To any of the new people who attended this year, thank you for comming, and I hope you continue to come out and see bands, make new friends, and have good times.

And to the usual suspects, im really glad that we have an ongoing support for each other. What we do here means alot and things like this cannot come together without a group dynamic. You guys are so fucking fabulous I feel blessed.

HUGE thanks to all of the bands, and their fellow travellers who played and hung out and made the fest what it was. I got to see some very special people this weekend that I do not get to see often, and also made some really rad friends.

The turnout was smaller than I was expecting, but the part about Victoria that rules so hard is that we make it what it is no matter the number. Quality over quantity.

Events like this never go down without some drama, and I hope that culprits understand what these consequences mean for VIHC and nationwide hardcore/punk/everything.

Thanks again, to everybody. You are all wonderful people. Im sorry for being such a granny (especially at day 2), it is not easy controlling a venue full of 200 riled up people.

Love you all.

I was feeling great after 4 hours sleep and moving all my room at 4am last night by myself, then found our car broken into, guitars stolen.

That super sucks dude, really sorry to hear this. Post the details on what was stolen and I'll definitely keep an eye out in Vancouver for them.

Wow, that suuuuuucks that the guitars got ripped off. Makes me wish our band had money so we could lessen the blow.

thats the lamest thing i have ever heard, sorry tambo

Thank you to everyone who helped put the fest together and also thank you to everyone who volunteered their time to work the door, act as security, work concession, help clean up, etc. too. Top to bottom you did a great job with this festival. I hope you're all feeling pleased about how it turned out and managed to squeeze in some fun between running the show.

We really appreciate being included.

Oh right, I forgot that she was smart enough to do something like that.

Makes sense, I was sure I smelled cigar smoke and liquor comming from somewhere.

Really though, you didnt have to, if I had seen you trying to do that Id have chased you outside with it. haha

Didn't mean to derail this, it really was a great fest, I'll post a more concrete version of suggestions another time when my brain is functioning.

As for the gear it was a black on black Musicman Stingray and a natural finish PRS SE Singlecut Korina. I really appreciate you keeping your eyes open in Vancouver for me, Andrew. I'm gonna do the pawn shop rounds tomorrow then keep my eyes open on the internet. I have some hope of it showing up, part of the niceness of living on an island.

No problem man. I hope you called the police to report the theft.

When you have a chance shoot me any further details you can think of (serial number if you have it, distinguishing nicks, scratches, etc.). I've got friends who work at the L+M here so I can put the word to them to watch for it and it never hurts to pop an ad up on Craigslist about the theft/watch craigslist vigilantly for a while.

So I had an amazing time at the fest too and I was taking it easy today washing all the sleeping bags I lent to the 9 very smelly heads that slept over this weekend and my washer broke and flooded my condo and I had to buy a new washer dryer. 1200 dollars later the fest was still great sorry to hear you got fucked tambo and john I drown my sorrow in cafe mexican margaritas and it was great. Love you victoria

Mine's Jim Beam and coke...

Some day will you teach me to drink like a man

I think I'm gonna do something about this...

I am so choked about this... It's gonna be sweet to continue pay my monthly payment on a guitar I don't have But other than that the fest was FUCKING AWESOME! I thought it was way better than last year.
