Another event for Porters has come and gone but the Burton movie stop in Reno at The Underground will not be forgotten.

On Saturday night there were two showings of Burton's "It's Always Snowing Somewhere", a kiddie show at 7:30 with an autograph signing with Burton team riders, Mason Agguire, Danny Davis, Jussi Oksanen, Heikki Sorsa and Kelly Clark. The kiddies that showed up were totally stoked and walked out of The Underground with huge smiles and a bag of sweet swag.

The doors reopened at 9pm and the 21+ showing was under way. The night kicked off with Shawn Farmer's band Hunks of Metal rocking the roof off. Then our IT guy Josh Hall's band, Cohesion took the stage and threw down one of the tightest sets I have ever heard them play..... you guys rocked! Then the screen dropped down again and the second showing of Burton's "It's Always Snowing Somewhere" was off an running. As it was playing I was working the door... wait I worked the door most of the night, but I digress then the Supersucker fans started to pour in. Most had tickets but many had to pay at the door and when I told them it was $4.99 to get in they were super stoked. Corona was on hand as well supplying FREE Corona to the Porters crew and Burton team riders, as you would probably guess the free beer went fast. As soon as the movie was finished Eddie Spaghetti and the rest of the Supersuckers took the stage and I told the bouncer to let everyone else in for free because I wanted to rock. As always the Supersuckers played a rockin' set, they never disappoint me.

After the Supersuckers finished up their set the crowd thinned as it was like 1:30 am. For those that stuck around they were rewarded with some high strung punk rock from The Dirty Rigs and Anti Panti. Then the bar emptied and I went back to work... taking down banners, stickers and tents. I hope everybody that came out had a freaking awesome time, I know Chris Wilmouth did. Thanks to everyone that helped Trevor and myself, much appreciated.
