This evening I had the honour of attending the Red Bull Storm Chasers Premier. IT WAS EPIC.

The Tasmanian section sent shivers down my spine.

I was sitting next to Jem Hall....I heard only two things from him for the entirety of the film, "f***ing 'ell" and "f*** off" Don't worry Houston, I let him know that BOL is your favourite spot.

Who would be interested in watching Storm Chaser Movie on the big screen at the State Theatre, same venue as last year.

I bumped into Stefan last week, he was one of the guys that rode the rescue jet skis and has worked for Red Bull all over the world. He is really keen to get it on the big screen, he can get the film in the right format and I can organise the State Theatre.

What do you guys reckon I'm all for it, if we did it right we might have to get a bigger theatre than last year. We could really promote this one as it features Marrawah and Tasmania in a pretty special way.

Lets go for it!!!!!

Sorry guys Red Bull contacted me tonight, they've canned the idea as they reckon you're all a bunch of wankas................. they've instead invited me to the movie premier in Baja next year

OK I'll be serious for a change.........if that's possible

Got a call from Jonny Pott the other night, Red Bull have asked him to put on the Storm Chase movie in Tassie and he was pretty stoked when I told him we already had two on the way, one in Hobart the other in Launceston.

Last year in Hobart we filled the State Cinema with 120 seats so with a movie like this which features the mighty west coast of Tassie we should be able to get well over double in both Hobart and Lonny.

Stefan and I are making enquiries with UTAS Stanley Burbury Theatre which holds 350 seats and in Lonny BearHoover with our help and anyone else that puts their hand up we should be looking at around 150 seats

We're planning on February which might seem a long way off but there are several reasons the main being we need to get the Christmas festivities out of the way to get the numbers.

Johnny is coming over to Tas from Margaret River so he and Stefan can help promote it through the media, Seabreeze, colleges, UTAS, yacht clubs, Stefan's surfy mates, surf life saving clubs and all of us driving it through social media.

BearHoover and I will keep you posted on the venue and date....................... this should be a bit of fun and going on the Benny Flood's review will be worth waiting for

I had no luck the UTAS just too hard so I reckon we should go back to the State Cinema, that's just so easy. Means we can only get 120 seats max but it's a great venue. I'll make some enquiries.
