Lol, the giant green non-vague checkout button is non-functional. :ne_nau:

Here... take my money. TAKE IT!!! :lol8:

[dfsfilm]

SM - sorry the checkout button isn't working. might need to try a different browser.

Either way, your efforts will be rewarded at the premiere - with a cold glass of Bohemian Brewerey Beer, compliments of Petzl and the the producers of Gorging.

Let me know if you're able to make the purchase elsewhere. Thanks.

Sweet! Cool party gift!

FWIW, Firefox worked great for buying tickets. Hope the theater is full of Bogleyites. There are lots of folks I'd like to meet (and see again).

[dfsfilm]

Slot Machine -

Great to hear you better luck on Firefox. And excited to hear you'll be attending. It's shaping up to be a pretty cool night.

[dfsfilm]

Getting closer to our big SLC event. Until then, a glimpse of our film's poster -

[Brian in SLC]

Are the subjects of the film going to be there?

Looks like a must see! Brewvies is a great venue. Any risk at it being sold out and tickets not available at the door?

[dfsfilm]

Brian -

Subjects and filmmakers will be in attendance!

Brewvies is indeed an excellent place for our premiere. Selling out is a total possibility. We strongly encourage buying tickets ahead of time on the website. Hoping to avoid turing people away at the door - because that would suck.

Hope to see you there.

[Sandstone Addiction]

Not familiar with brewvies...do you have to be 21 to get in? OK for kids?

[dfsfilm]

Brian -

Our ticket purchase confirmation is on a bit of delay - we're not super sophistocated in the web/purchase/customer service end of things, but damn do we make a good documentary about canyoneering.

[dfsfilm]

Sandstone - Brewvies is indeed a pub, and you do need to be 21 and older to enter. Sorry about that... This film is not ok for kids.

Hope to still see you there.

[Aj84737]

Any plans of doing a showing in the st George or Zion area in the near future?

[dfsfilm]

Aj84737 - St. George is on our list - and we hope to have details on that screening soon. Thanks for asking.

[skiclimb3287]

Just picked mine up! Looking forward to it!

Anyone want to have a Bogley gathering before hand? Grab some beers or something?

I usually get there early for events to grab a burger and beverage(s)...

[dfsfilm]

If you make it to Brewvies early, will you guys occasionally yell out Bogley so i can find you.

Thanks,

We'll be the fat, middle aged white guys who don't look like they could rappel their way out of a wet paper bag...

If you happen to be in possession of a Gorging Brewvies ticket, you might enjoy this – if not, look away. Look away…


In the few years we filmed with guidebook author, Mike Kelsey, I never saw him wear a helmet while canyoneering. I didn’t know he owned one until I saw pictures of his descent through Scorpion West, an x-rated canyon.

If you don’t own a helmet, maybe this is your chance. As part of our SLC Gorging Premiere, we’ll be giving away product form your favorite companies, including this wildly colorful Elios helmet form Petzl. See you there!

Celebrating outdoor adventure - as well as punctuality - Petzl will be honoring the first 50 Gorging Premiere ticket holders to arrive at Brewvies with a pint of Bohemian Beer.

See you soon!

[hike2kolob]

Any tickets come available? I need two (2). I just saw this and am bummed it is sold out. :cry1:

[jman]

You could come to brewvies and wait at standby (if there is one) It's worth a shot. There will probably be last-minute cancellations, etc.

[Deathcricket]

Anxiously awaiting the link for torrent. :2thumbs:

[Slot Machine]

Looking forward to the event tonight! :banana::beer: :popcorn:


If anyone has an extra ticket they would like to sell, please send me a PM. Thanks! :mrgreen:

[jman]

Wow, what a great premier! It's great to finally meet Kelsey, Turville, Tom Jones and Jenny. There were a lot of other people that I met that a from the canyoneering meetup site too.

Brian said that he had over 100hours of footage, but only 90mins made it. He says that the extras will have a lot more footage for those scenes and there will be a segment where all 4 protagonists do a canyon together.


There was a decent QA, but I wish deeper questions were asked.

The movie did a great job of being very entertaining, insightful, and a bit controversial, but all of which should provide introspection. Turville said it best when he said during the QA that "but does it matter? We (signaling the crowd) need to protect the canyons"

Umm... What else...there were great points saying how most rock-climbers have the skillset to do climbing but canyoneers do not in comparison. People go in big groups with only one person knowing how to do everything (or anything for that matter) in that group! That needs to change!

Kelsey (if I remember correctly) had a great point in which the former generations had their families and parents to take them to these places so they were much more experienced than today's generations. Today's generation gets off the couch and jumps straight into canyoneering and their the ones who get hurt.

Oh, and one last thing - I vote to respect the pioneers' wishes and change Neon's name back to "edge of the earth".

This movie (or documentary?) is definitely a must-have! Brian (editor, producer, and canyoneer) did a great job with it!

What did y'all think?

[dfsfilm]

Jman -

Great recap here. Thanks for the review of the event and the film – very glad to hear you enjoyed it.

Last night was a great event and couldn’t have asked for a better audience. It was fun to meet some of the forum-folk, and put faces to names and aliases. I thought the Q&A questions were quite thoughtful – with great responses from the film’s stars. I suspect Dennis and Mike could have gone all night.

Interesting note on bringing back the pioneers’ canyon names. Although I really like some the older titles, it seems challenging to honor some of Dennis’ canyon names. This topic has been discussed on the forum numerous times – these names were intended mostly for a group of canyoneers who were bent on keeping their endeavors a secret. I love that the names are out there – and even included in the wonderful canyon-database - but it seems it might be a stretch to expect them to be used by the general community…

That being said, I’ll likely refer to these canyons using the pioneer names because I now fancy myself a canyoneering historian, having done so much research for the film. It’s exciting to know the roots.

As you mentioned – DVD and Bluray are coming soon. And we’ve also got a few more theatrical events in the works. We’ll update soon.

[Brian in SLC]

Great show, good crowd energy! The Q&A was fun. Sure, it'd be great to ask controversial questions while we have those guys captive, but, I dunno...why put them on the spot?

Thanks for the free adult beverage, MB/Petzl!

Pretty happy to have Dennis and Dean Hannibal sign my copy(s) of Desperate Grace...(ahh...the good ol' Timberline days on Highland Drive). Now I need to track down the ski wax...ha ha.

Fun stuff.

[Slot Machine]

Such a fun event last night! Thanks to the Bohemian Brewery and Petzl for sponsoring the event! I will enjoy the fancy blue Petzl helmet that we won at the raffle!

The DDI segment of the movie was unforgettable, so was watching Mike Kelsey 'cut and paste'.

Why? Because it was a great way to get to know these gentleman. Thanks to Mr. Kelsey, Steve, Mr. Turville and Brian O for playing along during the 'tough' questions.

I have to share my favorite quote from the Q&A segment:

My comment was to JMans for wanting "deeper questions"...I thought they did great and it was neat to see everyone on stage. Rick finally got to ask his question!

I had a few, but, they woulda been prickly...so...held off. Plus, I wanted to chat with them afterwards...ha ha.

[dfsfilm]

Slot Machine - wow... great job 'illustrating' a quote from last night's Q&A!

[Slot Machine]

Whoops, Brian! You typed "It'd be great", and I read "It was great". I thought you were referring to the "Are you prepared to be responsible..." question that somebody posed, then Brian O humbly knocked out of the park.

:2thumbs:

[dfsfilm]

Brian SLC - it's not too late to ask a few more questions... If you want to post them here - I can connect with the Gorging 4 to do a little follow up interview in print. We welcome prickly questions.

[Brian in SLC]

I still have a hard time gettin' my head around how you put these iconic strong personalities together...mad people skills, no doubt.

Besides writing probably THEE most coveted rock climbing guidebook certainly for the Wasatch, if not the whole state:

Dennis was in a nice little video on "slot canyon hiking":

Amazing how long these guys have been doin' it...and, still going strong.

[dfsfilm]

SLC Brian - those are great photos... are those from your personal archives? Do you acutally own the VHS tape of Trailside?

One additional apperance of Dennis over the years - he does play a large role in the Zion Imax film.

Great stuff.

Yep, my copy is right here next to my busted VCR... Have you seen it?

I heard tell Rich was in one too? Haven't seen that one.

Forgot about Treasure of the Gods...

The cast and crew is a bit of a who's who especially of canyoneering and climbing folk:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118218/fullcredits?ref_=tt_ov_st_sm#cast

Chuckle every time I see Merrill as Dennis' native guide. Nancy and Doug climbing (the look on Nancy's face as her hook pops...hilarious). Doug also helped with the Trailside video I dimly recall. Heard tell he up climbed Mystery Falls...(or next to it). Those folks all still gettin' after it in SLC.

[dfsfilm]

[QUOTE=Brian in SLC;538677]Yep, my copy is right here next to my busted VCR... Have you seen it?

I own a copy of it - but don't have the original VHS package - so it was fun to see your image. Btw - we used very brief clips form the show in the film, including John Viehman's introduction to canyoneering, 'gashes in the earth... not something to be taken lightly.'

Rich was also featured in the PBS show, but i think he was part of 'Anyplace Wild,' which was the new title for Trailside once Backpacker magazine started bickering for ownership. Rich and i tried in vain to search for the vhs copy in his garage but never found it, unfortuntately.

Anyway, great archives and good TV shows.

This is what critics are saying about other films this summer! Although it isn’t likely Variety Magazine will ever watch ‘Gorging’, we’re still excited to announce additional screenings coming up this summer…

On Thursday, July 25th Gorging is coming to St. George for a one-night-event. Tickets and info here – http://gorgingmovie.com/screenings/

As if sharp rocks and swift water with hypothermic temperatures weren't already enough, Ouray Colorado offers a new challenge in canyoneering…

During the Ouray Canyon Festival you can endure sitting in one seat for over 2.5 hours while enjoying canyoneering movie magic. Friday, August 16th the festival’s ‘movie night’ will feature several canyoneering movies, including ‘Gorging,’ and ‘The Last of the Great Unknown,’ all in one swoop.

Bring your ropes. Bring your wetsuit. And your insatiable appetite for canyon content!
