Replying to The sense of togetherness at the refresh premier.

I attended the Refresh world premier at the Bluebird and the movie was sick (obviously).

But I really just want to tell everyone how truly and genuinely happy I was that night. Was I walking around smiling like I was simple? Yup. I was smiling my ass off because I was surrounded by people that understand my obsession with skiing and can speak the language of skiing (trick names and such). I was also surrounded by friends that I have met while skiing and while simply living life. Everywhere I looked, there was another friend that I loved. I now know what popular kids feel like at parties. I just walked around shaking hands and socializing. I felt like "this" is what life is supposed to be. The vibe was like a mix between christmas morning by the tree (everyone was a skier, making us a family) and a rap battle (the crowd roared at everything they found good, from the DJ Hathbanger to the film itself). Once the film started, it was mayhem and I loved it. I've never seen a group of people so stoked on anything. It was inspiring. It was unifying. Thank you, everyone.
