It is the 13th of October, and here I am in Boulder training for my second year as an emcee for Warren Miller Entertainment.  It’s been an interesting situation, as my good friend Casey has recently been hired for one of the other emcee positions on the film tour, and I’ve been doing my best to help him adjust to his new job.  On top of that, relearning the script has kept my mind busy during the days here on the Front Range.

But, it’s been a blast, and we’ve been able to meet up with some old friends and make some new ones during our week of film tour crew bonding at the Millenium Hotel.  Lots of random walks from the bars back to the hotel late at night and some funny stories of tours from the past have filled the gaps between Big City Burrito munching sessions at the nearby strip mall.

For as fun-filled as our nights have been, it’s the days that have us working away in a warehouse somewhere on the East side of Boulder.  The projectionists and emcees from each of the five tours have been filed away from the main offices of WME – probably to keep us from scaring the Skiing Magazine staff with our sweet mustaches! – in a manifestation of ‘mancamp’.  Facial hair and fart jokes notwithstanding, our little group of roadies have found some real energy and stoke to get out there on tour and show the newest of 60 Warren Miller films.  And hey, I even packed my stand-up paddle board…heh.
